On December 28, China's first hydrogen energy entrepreneurship competition in all fields - the 2022 hydrogen energy specialization and innovation competition final and the Qingdao Forum on Hydrogen Energy Innovation and Development was grandly broadcast on Xinhua and other platforms. After fierce competition, Zhongding Hengsheng Gas Equipment (Wuhu) Co., Ltd. won the championship, and Chengdu Yinggeli Technology Co., Ltd. and Weishi Energy Technology Co., Ltd. won the second place and third place respectively.
The venture dark horse is the co organizer of this competition. Niu Wenwen, the chairman of the venture dark horse, came to the finals and delivered a speech.
He said that it was exciting to see the rise of a new force in China's hydrogen energy independent industrial chain at the current important early stage of hydrogen energy development. He believes that entrepreneurship and innovation in China's hydrogen energy field has a broad future: "I have personally seen the great achievements our country has made in strategic emerging industries such as photovoltaic, lithium batteries, new energy vehicles, and independent industrial chains. Now, hydrogen energy is taking this great path of industrial innovation again."
The following is Niu Wenwen's speech, edited:
Today, the "hydrogen creates the future - 2022 China Hydrogen Specialization and Innovation Competition" has finally reached the exciting final stage. This is an exciting moment, but also a time full of memories. Thanks to the strong support of the guide units of the competition - the National Energy Authority, the Science and Technology Innovation Bureau of the State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the Investment Promotion Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce, the Enterprise Innovation Service Center of the China Association for Science and Technology, the SME Development Promotion Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Qingdao Municipal People's Government over the past four months, as well as to the co sponsors of the competition and our partners - China Hydrogen Energy Alliance, Guohua Investment Xinhuanet Spark Action's full cooperation.
It is a great pleasure and honor for the venture dark horse to participate in such an event related to major national strategies at the early stage of hydrogen energy development, as a joint organizer, to witness a group of outstanding hydrogen energy entrepreneurs come to the center of the stage and see the rise of new forces in China's hydrogen energy independent industrial chain.
In the more than 100 days since July, we first selected 100 entries from a large number of hydrogen energy enterprises and projects. After three rounds of online preliminaries and semi-finals, with the screening and support of a strong jury, 10 contestants finally emerged through layer upon layer PK and walked to the final stage today. Congratulations!
I would like to congratulate today's winners and wish all the contestants well. In an entrepreneurial competition, the final winner is not necessarily the inevitable winner of the real world and real business. All of us should strive for entrepreneurship and innovation and the hydrogen energy industry chain. Thank you for your participation. We have seen the magnificent industrial prospect of hydrogen energy entrepreneurship, and seen that there are so many subjects, experts and people working together on the great cause of hydrogen energy in our country. We see a broad future.
At the beginning of the competition, I said, "I hope this competition is not only a competition, but also a propaganda team for China's hydrogen energy development strategy.". The competition process of hydrogen energy enterprises and the selection process of judges, amplified by Xinhuanet and each participant in the competition, is to popularize hydrogen energy to the society and the public, which is to describe the future of hydrogen energy.
I'm glad that today's "future" is becoming clearer and more beautiful. I hope you entrepreneurs can live up to the resources provided by the competition. During the competition, so many enterprises and institutions from the hydrogen energy alliance provided support, so many investment institutions, experts, academicians and leaders gave suggestions, and each primary election, each presentation and each evaluation was to help everyone to rectify the direction invisibly.
Although today's competition has reached the final stage, this is not the end, but a starting point. We expect to see greater achievements in the real business world and in the entrepreneurship and innovation practice of hydrogen energy.
As an old media person, I have personally seen the great achievements our country has made in such strategic emerging industries as photovoltaic, lithium battery, new energy vehicles and independent industrial chains. Now, hydrogen energy is taking this great road of industrial innovation again.
On this "Golden Avenue", I hope that all participants and entrepreneurs in the hydrogen energy field can see the development of the big blueprint of hydrogen energy, see the future of the big picture of hydrogen energy, and contribute clean energy to the whole of China and our strength to the vision of dual carbon and low carbon. Today is the end of this year's competition, but the new world journey of hydrogen energy entrepreneurship and innovation has just begun.
