Forty entrepreneurs were ceremoniously honoured as “2015 Top Ten Economic Figures in Jiangsu Province”, “2015 Top Ten Socially Responsible Figures in Jiangsu Province”, and “2015 Top Ten Industry Leaders in Jiangsu Province”. Yuan Yafei, Chairman of Sanpower Group, was honoured as a “2015 Top Ten Economic Figure in Jiangsu Province”.

The Annual Conference for Entrepreneurs in Jiangsu Province is aimed at exploring and showcasing the most influential, innovative and socially responsible entrepreneurial elites in Jiangsu Province every year and focuses on looking closely at their achievements in traditional mainstay industries, new energy industries as well the Internet, new material, bio-pharmacy industries, and the like. It also promotes their development experiences in economic transformation to lead more entrepreneurs both inside and outside the province to make contributions in improving overall economic competitiveness and sustainability here in Jiangsu. So far, it has been a resounding success both times.

When China’s economy entered into the “New Normal”, Sanpower Group went with the flow. Led by Chairman Yuan Yafei, Sanpower Group launched a series of overseas acquisitions, made full use of domestic and international markets and resources as well as worked in coordination with business model innovations both at home and abroad, giving impetus to industrial transformation and upgrading. The company has realised the dual development of “business internationalisation” and “public welfare internationalisation”, won overseas recognition in the manner of culture amalgamation, and become the representative of private enterprises which are “going global”.

Meanwhile, seizing the rare opportunity of promoting the healthy development of national industries, Sanpower Group is laying out its “Broad Health” industries so as to allow the company to follow a path of sustainable development. Sanpower Group’s experience and practices in transformation and upgrading have also attracted widespread attention across society. Over the past two years, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) have held inquiries several times. The Federation of Industry and Commerce of Jiangsu Province, Nanjing Federation of Industry and Commerce and other organisations have also visited Sanpower Group and drew lessons from the company’s experience.

Shang Hongjun, Vice President and Director of External Cooperation Management Centre of Sanpower Group, attended the ceremony and delivered an award-winning speech on behalf of Chairman Yuan Yafei, expressing Sanpower Group’s desire to move towards the development of “an international and transformational Sanpower Group that serves the public” and continues to enthusiastically advance and contribute even more to society.
