President of Thermo Fisher Scientific China

A1: Innovation is key to progress and nowadays we can't talk aboutprogress without considering sustainability. So when I think aboutinnovation I expect it to be functional in order to accelerate growth in asustainable way whether it is social sustainability, environmental orbuilding a sustainable and scalable healthcare ecosystem. Someactions might include allocating more capital to R&D and infrastructure,as well as implementing sound regulations to facilitate thetransformation of global value chains. As the world leader in servingscience, we at Thermo Fisher Scientific spend more than $700 million ayear to create innovation that enables our customers to make the worldhealthier, cleaner and safer. I believe pursuing sustainability will be akey area of growth in the future and we are seeing it today already withrenewable energies, healthcare, the sharing economy and so forth.

A2: Sustainable development of the environment, society and the economy will be one of thekey topics for me. There have been several discussions on the importance of promotingsustainable and balanced development, and G20 provides a great platform for countries todiscuss and agree on common initiatives to accelerate growth. One area of particular interesttome is the adoption of technology and innovation, and how through international agreementand cooperation we can accelerate it.

A3: The 2016 G20 Summit in China is one of the most important international platforms formajor developed and developing countries. After two historical milestones last year, the UN2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Paris Climate Agreement, I expect the G20this year to bring further substance to these strategic approaches and to complement themwith an indication of action to sustain global growth. One area that is particularly importanttome is the continuing liberalization of trade as well as accelerating market reforms. We couldbe so much more effective in improving living conditions by having an interconnectedregulatory system across the world. At Thermo Fisher Scientific we can't wait to bring some ofour best technologies and innovations to everyone in China.

A4: China is our second largest market outside of the United States. We have been able togrow our business in China significantly over the last few years, scaling it to close to 4,000employees today and serving thousands of customers across the nation. Our focus in Chinahas been to serve our customers in fields like pharma, healthcare, environmental and foodsafety, and we continue to foresee strong opportunities in these segments going forward. Atthe same time we believe that market needs are changing and our capability to capture thisgrowth will rely on more "in China for China" innovation. This brings us closer to ourcustomers as we continue to invest in our local R&D capabilities, having more than 100scientists today, focused on "in China for China" innovation projects.
