He said that he will take the next step to have a more in-depth project matching with Dr.Zhang, and will make multi-party cooperation and resource integration an important part of the next meeting.

Meanwhile, Copenhagen, Denmark-based Maersk, one of the world's largest shipping companies, is committed to investing in and collaborating with promising companies, and Maersk Growth, an AP-Müller-Maersk external innovation global partner, whose mission of democratisation and decarbonisation coincides with the concepts of the "Wood Drying Ship" project.

The dialogue at the Davos Forum has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the "Wood Drying Ship" project.
