Keynote Report

Ma Jiping presented a keynote report titled “From 0 to N: Brand Building Leading Leapfrog Technological Development.” He shared insights on the transition from technology to brand-driven growth, the leapfrog development case of Sany Heavy Industry, and the management company’s development plans. The report outlined four stages of leapfrog development, each corresponding to a distinct mindset. It emphasized that technology commercialization enterprises should pay particular attention to the “0 to 1” stage—the startup phase driven by technological thinking. The development path of Sany Heavy Industry, which grew from the materials sector into a leader in construction machinery by focusing on core competencies and expanding around key common technologies, was highlighted as a valuable reference.

Exchange Session

During the exchange session, Jia Jian shared his company’s experience in achieving rapid growth and outstanding performance in a short period from the perspectives of marketing and sales, product development, and manufacturing, providing encouragement for startup enterprises.

Li Fei introduced how Zhejiang Boson seized post-pandemic opportunities to achieve profitability and outlined the company’s three-year development plan. Representatives from other portfolio enterprises—including Fang Jun (SICCAS New Technology), Liu Zhifu (Zhejiang Xici), Zhang Jingxian (Zhejiang Duomian), Wen Zhaoyin (SICCAS Zhaoneng), Liu Xuechao (Chongwei Crystal), Chi Xiaowei (Zheneng SICCAS), Wang Yaoming (SICCAS Taiyang), Xun Zhiguang (SICCAS Sinno), Yao Dongxu (SICCAS Shangyu), Kong Haikuan (Anhui Microchip), Zhao Wei (SICCAS Yixing), and Zhang Yuanyuan (Nanocenter)—also shared updates on their 2022 operational progress and 2023 development plans.

During the discussion, Han Jinduo noted that the keynote report was highly inspiring and expressed hope that empowering portfolio enterprises through improved management would support their healthy growth. Legal counsel Yan Yan advised enterprises to strengthen risk awareness and enhance compliance management while pursuing growth and expansion under the principle that “development is the top priority.”
