Dimension 1: Smart Mobility & Governance The BMA executive delegation participated in the China High-Tech Fair 2025 (CHTF 2025), organized under the concept of driving cities with smart technology, with a focus this year on Smart City Solutions and environmental technology. Concurrently, the delegation held discussions with representatives from Huawei Technologies to explore the application of IoT and AI in government systems and infrastructure, and to apply these technologies to the BMA's "Digital Classroom" education development policy. Additionally, BMA representatives engaged in discussions with BYD regarding the transition of public transport and government vehicle fleets to electric vehicles (EV Transition), specifically focusing on the policy to transition garbage collection trucks from diesel to electric power. The delegation also conferred with Eternal Asia Supply Chain Management on urban development to enhance logistics management efficiency, which will enable the BMA to facilitate private sector logistics and effectively increase the city's economic value.

Dimension 2: Sustainable Environmental Management (Green & Clean Bangkok) To promote efficiency in waste and wastewater management, the delegation explored innovations with two key organizations: Waste Management: Discussions were held with Tenglang Recycling Resources Development to study models for waste recycling and circular resource management. Wastewater Management: The delegation consulted with CGN Nuclear Technology Development and Power China to apply advanced technologies for water treatment and urban water system management.

Dimension 3: Elevating Urban Health and Wellness The delegation focused on medical technology through discussions with BGI Group, a leader in genomics and life sciences, and Mindray Medical Technology, a specialist in smart medical devices. The objective is to modernize hospitals and public health centers under the BMA and upgrade medical infrastructure to effectively meet public demand.
