On March 9, Dr. Ali Alshehhi, General Manager of the China Office of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), led a delegation to visit SinoHytec New Energy for a survey, where the two sides discussed hydrogen energy cooperation and pathways for energy transition. Accompanied by senior executives including Chairman Zhou Mingqiang and Qu Youyou, Vice President of the Outside China Business Division, the company introduced its recent progress in industrialisation and scaled development. The delegation toured SinoHytec New Energy’s four major centers for R&D, testing, exhibition, and sales, and learned about the company’s technological capabilities and commercial achievements across the entire hydrogen energy industry chain. Zhou Mingqiang also responded on site to concerns from the industry. ADNOC is a wholly state-owned energy giant of the UAE. Founded in 1971, it controls about 10% of the world’s oil reserves. Its business spans the entire oil and gas industry chain, and it is accelerating its deployment in blue hydrogen, green hydrogen, and CCUS to advance its low-carbon transition. In April 2025, ADNOC set up an office in Beijing, positioning China as a core market and focusing on expanding China-UAE cooperation in the hydrogen energy sector. During the discussion, Dr. Ali Alshehhi asked whether the company’s industrial deployment across multiple locations would disperse the supply chain and affect market expansion. Zhou Mingqiang responded that the nationwide layout was designed to build a coordinated industrial closed loop by leveraging local resource endowments, enabling precise alignment between localized production and market demand, effectively improving supply chain efficiency and supporting the large-scale deployment of hydrogen energy. The two sides held in-depth exchanges on topics including diversified energy development, the expansion of hydrogen energy application scenarios, industry chain coordination, and energy security. They also exchanged views on the global energy landscape, built consensus on cooperation, and laid a foundation for subsequent practical cooperation.

According to a Yonhap News Agency report, industry sources said on Tuesday that AMD CEO Lisa Su is expected to visit South Korea on Wednesday, including a visit to Samsung Electronics' chip production site, marking her first visit to the country since taking office in 2014. The sources said the two companies are expected to discuss cooperation in the semiconductor toll processing sector, as well as expanding their partnership beyond memory chips. Meanwhile, Su is also expected to visit the headquarters of South Korean portal operator Naver on Wednesday to discuss cooperation in the artificial intelligence data center business with the company's CEO.

On March 4, 2026, SMM learned that Salzstrom, an Austrian energy storage technology company, launched the SALT 110 NFPP (sodium iron phosphate) sodium-ion battery ESS for European commercial and industrial operators, becoming the first market-ready cabinet-type NFPP sodium-ion battery solution in Europe’s commercial and industrial sector and advancing the deployment and application of sodium-ion battery technology in Europe’s energy storage market. The system has a rated power of 100 kVA and a usable energy storage capacity of 110 kWh, achieves a system efficiency of 95%, and operates within a temperature range of -25 to 55°C. It has obtained multiple authoritative European certifications, including EN IEC 62619, and can deliver 6,000 charge cycles at a 95% depth of discharge. Designed specifically for space-constrained scenarios such as data centers and industrial buildings, it is currently open for scheduled visits, with the first client installations expected to begin in early March in Germany and Austria.

On February 26, German Chancellor Merz arrived in Hangzhou, Zhejiang by plane and continued his China visit by taking a Hongqi car. During his stay in Hangzhou, the German delegation will engage with 10 Chinese enterprises, including those from the AI, humanoid robot, and NEV sectors.
