China’s past decade has delivered rapid technological progress. The 15th Five-Year Plan extends this strategy, with robotics, AI, and innovative pharmaceuticals emerging as the “New New Three” after the earlier rise of electric vehicles, solar cells, and batteries. This webinar examines the risks to China’s macro outlook and the global technology race. We also explore questions on the implications on China’s relationship with the rest of world, as tech and trade tensions continue to shape global trade and industrial policy agendas.
APAC industry is set to remain the global outperformer this year, supported by AI-led investment and the rapid expansion of the region’s technology manufacturing ecosystem. Strength across the AI supply chain will continue to underpin industrial activity, even as momentum in traditional manufacturing becomes more uneven. At the same time, elevated energy prices stemming from renewed Middle East tensions are increasing cost pressures for energy-intensive industries, while continued uncertainty around trade policy and tariffs adds further headwinds. In this webinar, we will assess the latest developments and their implications for the Asia-Pacific manufacturing outlook.

Australia’s construction sector is shifting gears. Data centres and non-residential investment are stepping up as engines of growth while engineering firms pivot from transport megaprojects toward the infrastructure of the energy transition. Beneath these shifts, the sector continues to grapple with capacity constraints, elevated costs and a tight labour market that will shape how far and how fast activity can grow. This webinar brings together Oxford Economics’ construction and macro specialists to unpack these shifting growth engines and what they mean for capacity, costs and strategy over the decade ahead.
