From left to right, the round - table guests are: Lan Qinqin, Director of Yiwei Capital; Hao Wenyu, Managing Director of Guohua Satellite Application Industry Fund; Qin Guijun, Chief Product Officer of Lanxing Guangyu; Wang Jiawei, Co - founder of Lanling Xingtong; Cao Dezhi, Co - founder of Xingce Future

Excerpts of Wonderful Views:

Ms. Hao Wenyu: China has achieved leap - forward breakthroughs in major aerospace projects such as manned spaceflight, lunar exploration, and Beidou. However, in the commercial space field, compared with the United States, there are still gaps in industrialization capabilities, capital aggregation, and industrial ecosystem. In the future, state - owned enterprises and private enterprises in China will work together, complement each other's advantages, and enhance global competitiveness by building an open and integrated industrial ecosystem.

Mr. Qin Guijun: Domestic laser communication has achieved cost reduction through "extreme involution", but still needs to catch up with the large - scale deployment capabilities of the United States. Equipment manufacturers can transform into "service - oriented" in the future and increase their voice by formulating industry standards for laser communication protocols, and explore more application market types with the advantages of lightweight and low cost.

Mr. Wang Jiawei: Start - up enterprises should be "small and beautiful", having flexibility and cost advantages in niche markets. They should use their own advantageous technologies to empower the existing market and go global following national strategies such as the "Belt and Road Initiative" to avoid direct competition with large companies.

Mr. Cao Dezhi: China's satellite - borne intelligent computing can flexibly adapt to multi - scenario requirements based on modular design and cooperate with satellite general manufacturers to reduce single - point risks. In the future, by "reducing costs", it can replicate the path of the counter - attack of new energy vehicles.
