      Ahmed Bin SΩ‌ulayem, Executive Chair±≠↓man and CEO of DMCC, said that$∑₹ the rapid growth of lab-grown diamond demand♠ < has promoted consumers' interest and broken t÷÷αhe traditional model. In 2022, ×✘the total import and export of lab-grown diam₩€φonds in UAE exceeded US$ 1.5 billion, an ×↓increase of 126% over the ε☆€previous year. Sulayem also said that&ε↕Ω lab-grown diamond has bro₽"aden prospects and technicaσ♥l application value, and more attention♠★ should be paid to marke↓•♣ting and application rathφ‌₽er than just the material itself. He hopes that ↓​♠¥China could play a more active role as an impoα←≤rtant participant in lab-grown diamondα"¥© industry.

Ahmed Bin Sulayem accepted an exclusive interv‍↑→iew with Crysdiam and shared co₩♦φ‌nstructive ideas on innovative applications oπ ↕f lab-grown diamonds. Watch the ​≠'¶video for his insightful views.

      Anish Agg≥Ω♣arwal from Gemdax, the ©φ♠moderator of the panels,××& said that lab-grown diamonds are no lo↔≈≈nger untested products but have been accepted ↕>by consumers; We are not only engaged in diamo£♠©nd business, but also running a"→> technology industry. He called for adjustment o©≥f the industry's thinking and product cre₹δation methods to increase value th₩¶γ rough the diversified applicatiασ∏on of materials and their finished produ>α≈cts.

In the Panel discuss≤ε∞ion of Industrial Ec ®™σonomics, Liang Weizhang, Senior Strategy Adαε™viser of Crysdiam, said that the ind↔←÷♣ustry lacks generic marketing whi∞∏≥‍le the technology gradually matures,δ<₹‌ and the price of lab-grβ↑own diamonds continues to fall; at the same ✘£∞÷time however, we can see tΩ‌↕←hat the marginal cost isε☆ reaching close to the fixed cost, whic♣→h indicates that the lab-g≠↓↔±rown diamond industry is enter₽¥≥±ing a new stage of reform and de☆♦β©velopment. Through collaboration↕→ between upstream and downstream, growers ∏♠and retailers can promote the indust ÷↓ry to achieve the secon®₽Ωd growth curve. Other guesα™t speakers mentioned i≈≈δt is necessary to create va $lue when manufacturing lab-grown diamonds i≥↓nto jewelries.      At the same t←  "ime, it should be noted that the productiΩ∑♣αon cost of lab-grown diamonds is ‌≈not directly related t≠₩‍★o its sales price to consume ≠rs, and they called on the ind€ ÷​ustry to pay attention ± πto the commercialization of technology,¶♥   rather than selling based on the cost of maπ$ terials.

      In the Panel dis‍¶cussion on Reputation and S♦₽₽¶ustainability, guest speakers put forwaφδ✔'rd that it was necessary to expand the un₽‌ derstanding of sustainability among sup∏≈ply chain participants at a€₩ll levels. Many companies β♥only focus on climate ∑£♥changes and ignore the compreh‍®ensive requirements of environmental, social and♣&← governance. Lab-grown diamond indust↔♥ry can use renewable energy, and it ca‌π★n cover all aspects of↓&α↓ sustainable develop✔☆ment and has advantages in sustainability.
