谢云龙（YunLoong），本名谢建超，资深媒体人，博士研究生。世界创新大会（WIC）创始人、组委会秘书长，中国创新大会（CIC）发起人。曾在国务院发展研究中心系统任职多年，长期深耕国家创新发展战略、国际创新合作与产业创新生态研究，始终秉持“服务国家创新发展、促进国际创新合作、让创新更好地造福人类”的宗旨，以强烈的社会责任感，历经十年不懈耕耘，构建了立足中国、链接全球的国际平台，为讲好中国创新发展故事、推动中国与国际创新合作、构建人类创新发展命运共同体做出了积极贡献。
2016年，为深入贯彻落实习近平总书记关于创新发展的重要论述和重要指示精神，谢建超以开创性的战略思维发起并推动创办“中国创新大会”（CIC）。
2017年6月，首届中国创新大会在广州成功举办。大会得到了国务院发展研究中心、科技部、国家发展和改革委员会、工业和信息化部及广东省委、省政府等单位的指导和大力支持。时任中共中央政治局委员、广东省委书记胡春华宣布大会开幕，多位部省领导、顶尖科学家与知名企业家到会致辞，1500余位全球各界代表参会，会议获得国际社会广泛关注。
2018年，在成功运营中国创新大会（CIC）的基础上，为更主动地链接全球创新资源，谢建超以前瞻性的国际视野，先行创办“创新全球论坛”（IGF），致力于搭建高水平的国际创新对话平台。该论坛的成功运作，为大会体系注入了国际化基因，积累了全球合作资源。
2019年，基于前期实践成果，谢建超战略性地将“中国创新大会”与“创新全球论坛”整合升级为“世界创新大会（WIC）”，推动大会实现从国家级平台向国际创新平台的跨越式发展，开启以“服务国家创新发展、促进国际创新合作、让创新更好地造福人类”为宗旨的新篇章。大会秉承“创新、开放、合作、共享”的核心精神，坚持公益性为主和长期主义的根本原则，通过国际化、市场化、专业化的运作机制，致力于构建立足中国、链接全球的国际创新合作平台，打造具有广泛影响力的国际标杆盛会，为政府、企业、科研机构及国际组织提供深度交流与战略合作的桥梁。
经过九年的精心培育和发展，在全球合作伙伴的持续参与下，世界创新大会已成功举办八届全球年会及系列国际会议，汇聚300余位全球权威嘉宾发表前沿演讲，累计吸引来自100多个国家和地区超过12000名嘉宾参会，包括政府高层、国际组织代表、诺贝尔奖得主、顶尖科学家、知名企业家和杰出青年学者。大会已推动数十项重大科技创新成果实现转化与应用，促成多项跨国产业合作与经贸投资签约，取得了丰硕的成果，国内国际影响力不断增强。为我国深度参与全球创新治理提供了平台支撑，为促进国际创新交流合作作出了重要贡献。
目前，世界创新大会已与全球100多个国家、地区及国际组织建立合作关系，与200余家跨国企业、创新型领军企业和科研机构达成战略合作，汇聚300多位全球专家资源，构建起集国际会议、智库研究、产业对接、成果转化和创新评价于一体的全方位创新服务体系，为全球创新参与者提供从思想碰撞到项目落地的全链条、高价值支持。大会发起的“世界创新大奖”“世界创新企业500强榜单”和“全球城市创新竞争力100强榜单”等国际评价体系，已成为全球创新领域具有重要影响的指标。
世界创新大会每年在粤港澳大湾区举办全球年会，并同期举办科技、经济、人工智能、生命科学与健康医疗、农业、教育、能源、资本、文化等行业创新前沿论坛及世界创新博览会。未来，大会将持续推进全球化战略布局，定期在美国硅谷、瑞士日内瓦、新加坡、沙特利雅得、肯尼亚内罗毕等国际创新枢纽城市举办区域峰会及行业论坛，深入开展国际经贸对接、投融资合作、创新公益讲堂和青年领袖交流等活动，并在非洲、拉美等地实施“科技与社会创新援助计划”，以创新方案应对粮食安全、绿色发展等全球共性挑战。
2026年，世界创新大会将迎来成立十周年的重要里程碑。世界创新大会致力于携手各国创新力量，汇聚全球领袖智慧，凝聚国际创新共识，共同探索创新路径，深化国际创新合作，推动构建全球创新共同体，让创新成果更好地造福人类。
YunLoong Xie, formerly known as Jianchao Xie, is a senior media professional and a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy. He founded the World Innovation Conference (WIC) and serves as Secretary-General of its Organizing Committee. He is also the initiator of the China Innovation Conference (CIC).
With extensive experience working within the Development Research Center of the State Council, he has long been dedicated to research on China's innovation development strategies, international innovation collaboration, and industrial innovation ecosystems. Guided by the mission of "advancing international innovation cooperation and enabling innovation to better benefit humanity," he has demonstrated a strong sense of social responsibility. Through a decade of persistent efforts, Xie has established the World Innovation Conference as a global platform rooted in China and connected to the world. His work has actively contributed to fostering international innovation exchanges and building a shared future for global innovation development.
The inaugural China Innovation Conference was successfully held in Guangzhou in June 2017. The conference received guidance and strong support from the Development Research Center of the State Council, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. Hu Chunhua, then Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, declared the conference open. Numerous provincial and ministerial leaders, top scientists, and renowned entrepreneurs attended and delivered speeches. Over 1,500 representatives from various sectors worldwide participated, garnering extensive international attention.
In 2018, building on the successful operation of the China Innovation Conference (CIC), Xie Jianchao proactively established the Innovation Global Forum (IGF) with a forward-looking international vision to more actively connect global innovation resources. Dedicated to building a high-level international innovation dialogue platform, the IGF's successful operation infused the conference system with international elements and accumulated global cooperation resources.
In 2019, building on prior achievements, Xie Jianchao strategically integrated the China Innovation Conference and the Innovation Global Forum into the World Innovation Congress (WIC). This initiative propelled the conference from a national platform to an international innovation hub, ushering in a new chapter dedicated to “serving national innovation development strategies, promoting international innovation cooperation, and enabling innovation to better benefit humanity.” WIC upholds the core spirit of “innovation, openness, cooperation, and sharing.” Through internationalized, market-oriented, and professional operational mechanisms, it is committed to building an innovation ecosystem hub rooted in China and oriented toward the world. It aims to create an internationally influential benchmark event, serving as a bridge for in-depth exchanges and strategic cooperation among governments, enterprises, research institutions, and international organizations.
After nine years of dedicated cultivation and development, with the sustained participation of global partners, WIC has successfully hosted eight global annual conferences and a series of international meetings. These events have brought together over 300 globally renowned speakers to deliver cutting-edge presentations, attracting more than 12,000 attendees from over 100 countries and regions. Participants include high-level government officials, representatives from international organizations, Nobel laureates, leading scientists, prominent entrepreneurs, and outstanding young scholars. WIC has facilitated the transformation and application of dozens of major scientific and technological innovations, brokered numerous cross-border industrial collaborations and economic investment agreements, and achieved substantial outcomes, with its domestic and international influence steadily growing. It provides a platform for China's deep engagement in global innovation governance and has made significant contributions to promoting international innovation exchange and cooperation.
Currently, WIC has established cooperative relationships with over 100 countries, regions, and international organizations worldwide. It has formed strategic partnerships with more than 200 multinational corporations, innovative leading enterprises, and research institutions, gathering resources from over 300 global experts. WIC has built a comprehensive innovation service system integrating international conferences, think tank research, industrial matchmaking, achievement transformation, and innovation evaluation. This system provides full-chain, high-value support for global innovation participants, from idea exchange to project implementation. The international evaluation systems initiated by WIC—including the World Innovation Awards, the World Top 500 Innovative Enterprises List, and the Global Top 100 Cities Innovation Competitiveness Ranking—have become influential benchmarks in the global innovation landscape.
WIC hosts its annual global conference in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, concurrently organizing cutting-edge forums across sectors including technology, economics, artificial intelligence, life sciences and healthcare, agriculture, education, energy, capital, and culture, alongside the World Innovation Expo. Moving forward, WIC will advance its global strategic expansion by regularly convening regional summits and industry forums in international innovation hubs such as Silicon Valley, Geneva, Singapore, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Nairobi, Kenya, and other international innovation hubs. It will deepen international economic and trade matchmaking, investment and financing cooperation, innovation public lectures, and youth leadership exchanges. Additionally, it will implement the “Science, Technology, and Social Innovation Assistance Program” in Africa, Latin America, and other regions, addressing global challenges like food security and green development with innovative solutions.
WIC is committed to joining forces with innovative entities worldwide, pooling global leadership wisdom, building international consensus on innovation, jointly exploring innovative pathways, deepening international innovation cooperation, and advancing the establishment of a global innovation community—ensuring innovation outcomes better serve humanity.
