Dr. Sahin, CEO, TIAX LLC, USA. described Dalian as a 'romantic','charming' and 'relaxing' city after touring Dalian alone and communicating with the Dalianese freely in English.

As a participant in the Inaugural Annual Meeting of the New Champions, Dr. Sahin came to Dalian on September 1st, which made him one of the first-coming CEOs. ‘I wonder why Dalian was chosen for the Meeting, so I come here early to find it out by myself.’ Dr. Sahin has always liked to travel alone so he first came to the Dalian Forest Zoo last Sunday. On that day, he did not get a taxi but a bus and enjoyed such a special trip.At the zoo, he has seen not only the pandas that he has longed to, but also many lovely animals. Happily he toured through the domestication zone and the comprehensive nature protection zone. Dr. Sahin also visited Dalian Modern Museum alone, wandering about in the city’s past and present and getting himself closer to the city. He was surprised to discover that there are so many English-speaking Dalianese, who enthusiastically become his guide. Those who cannot speak English helped him by gestures and Dr. Sahin was greatly impressed by their hospitality and friendship.

In fact, Sahin visited Beijing, Shanghai and other Chinese cities before. However, he considered Dalian as a unique scenic city. At the very moment he got off the plane, he touched the enthusiasm and efforts held by Dalianese towards the meeting. Take Furama, the hotel he lives in, as an example, He was satisfied with the comfortable room facilites and the considerate services.In his eyes,Dalian is a beautiful and neat place with nice virescence, orderly traffic and buildings full of romance.The beauty of Dalian is not in a single place but it is everywhere. He said he had taken a lot of beautiful pictures of Dalian to show his family in the United States.

As to the Meeting, he thought it was a good chance for Dalina to forge ahead in the world. Dr.Sahin also concerned about the contents of the Meeting. He told reporters on September 6th, he would make a theme address on how to succeed with the growth of SMEs. He believed that, worldwidely, SMEs with technical, financial and other aspects of advantages can better respond to market changes, so that all countries should attach great importance to the development of SMEs as well as accelerate the transformation of scientific research and utilization. In his opion, there is a obvious change in Dalian Meeting compared to the previous Davos, that is the participation of more emerging enterprises, which would inject more ideas into Davos Forum and make Davos Forum more dynamic.
