With the theme of "Green and Low-Carbon Good Materials, Building a Foundation for Building Carbon Neutrality, Activating Carbon Value Across the Industrial Chain," the salon brought together more than 100 representatives from research institutions, international authoritative organizations, leading building materials enterprises, and architectural designers to confront industry pain points and explore new pathways for high-quality development across the entire building industry chain.

On October 13, the opening ceremony and press conference of the CNBM Mineral Products Testing and Certification Laboratory were successfully held in Abuja, Nigeria, marking the official commencement of operations of CNBM Materials Technology Africa Co., Ltd., CTC's first overseas holding subsidiary in actual operation. This is a landmark achievement of CTC in thoroughly implementing the strategy of “rebuilding an overseas China National Building Materials Group in ten years,” earnestly fulfilling the “100-Point CTC” requirement of China Building Materials Academy, and promoting the “going out, going in, and going up” of inspection, testing, and certification business. It is also a milestone practice serving China-Africa mining cooperation.
