GUi frontier dialogue focuses on pathways toward high-quality entrepreneurship

The 27th session of the GUi Frontier Dialogue, a flagship event of the Grand Union of Innovation (GUi) in Hefei, East China's Anhui province, was recently held at the Hefei University of Technology.

With loads of experience in China's venture capital sector, Yang has helped turn numerous startups into industry leaders.

He emphasized that in a technology-driven environment, startups must identify customer needs, and that innovation is essential for companies to achieve sustainable growth.

Entrepreneurs, he noted, can only lead their businesses to excellence by upholding a commitment to serving clients, customers, and society.

Finally, he highlighted the importance of turning short-term advantages into lasting competitiveness, urging enterprises to pursue steady progress.

Yang also highlighted the importance of investment institutions actively participating in value creation, rather than merely providing financial backing. This model is particularly focused on technology-driven enterprises, with an emphasis on new materials, medical technology, and new consumption.

Jointly organized by the GUi and Hefei University of Technology, this lecture series is a key event of the university's financial festival, marking a renewed collaboration between the two institutions to promote the deep integration of industry, academia, and research.

During the event, the Technical Manager Research Center, a collaborative initiative aimed at fostering professional talent in technology transfer and the commercialization of scientific achievements, was unveiled.

It seeks to help transform technological innovation into industrial applications, injecting vitality into the high-quality development of sci-tech innovation in Anhui and even the Yangtze River Delta region.

GUi is committed to streamlining the full process of innovation and entrepreneurship, offering not just space and policy support, but a comprehensive ecosystem including financing, networking, incubation, and industrial resources, thereby nurturing the growth of innovative forces in Anhui and the Yangtze River Delta region.
