The "Thumbs Up for China's Economy – Entrepreneurs' Night 2025 Gala" was held on January 29 in Beijing. Representatives from "China's Core Infrastructure" enterprises attended and were honored. Zhao Jian, President of the China Economic Media Association, and Yang Yudong, Editor-in-Chief of Yicai, witnessed the ceremony.
Representatives from major AI model companies attending the Entrepreneurs' Night included: Cambricon, Kunlunxin, Loongson Technology, Moore Threads, Qingwei Intelligent, Xi Wang Sunrise, and Xinch Semiconductor.
Tribute Statement: This is a攻坚力量 driving technological advancement. They build the cornerstone of computing power with compact chips, forging a path of high-quality development for China's digital intelligence industry with unwavering determination, becoming the core engine for AI industrialization and intelligence. With a spirit of "daring," they pour their sweat into the frontlines of research; supported by "perseverance," they navigate through unknown troughs; and fueled by a "pioneering" drive, they break through barrier after barrier. After countless challenges, they will ultimately reach the彼岸 of their dreams.
Zhao Jian expressed that just as a strong youth leads to a strong nation, as a veteran journalist, he was delighted to share the special contributions and corporate honors of the chip and semiconductor industry in China's economic development alongside young representatives from China's AI chip foundational enterprises.
Zhao Jian emphasized that AI chips are the core foundation of modern technology and the digital economy. By 2025, China's chip and semiconductor industry has established a self-reliant and controllable computing power base, supporting the rapid development of emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and automotive electronics, becoming a key engine driving economic transformation, upgrading, and high-quality development. Today, seven companies stand proudly on this stage as outstanding representatives of the AI chip foundational enterprise group.
Zhao Jian noted that AI chip foundational enterprises, with their young teams, specialized technology, mission of import substitution, and sustained innovation investment as core competitive advantages, have rapidly risen through architectural innovation, ecosystem co-construction, and application scenario implementation, supported by policies and capital.
Zhao Jian stated that last year, they paid tribute to the "Chinese Large Model Group" at this venue. Today, they honor the group of AI chip foundational enterprises. In the future, they will pay tribute to more leading enterprises and outstanding entrepreneurs in various industries, all joining together to cheer for the Chinese economy!
