Li Zheng, Partner and Vice President of 36Kr: Move towards on - the - spot collaboration in the industrial chain and enter the real decision - making arena of leading enterprises in the chain.

Against the backdrop of the accelerated global "dual carbon" strategy, a profound social transformation and unprecedented development opportunities are approaching. As the "mid - term examination" year for the "3060" goals in 2025, policies, industries, and capital are closely linked, forming a powerful synergy. To actively respond to the national call for dual carbon, fully stimulate the innovation vitality of energy conservation and carbon reduction, and deeply explore the industrial and social value of sustainable development, 36Kr has once again joined hands with Orient Securities and its subsidiaries, Orient Securities Innovation and Orient Securities Capital, to launch the upgraded "Carbon Exploration Plan" of the "Dual Carbon Star Species", aiming to penetrate into the core of the industrial chain, discover and promote the emergence of new business opportunities.

This year's "Carbon Exploration Plan" focuses on three core scenarios: future transportation, future energy, and future cities. Through on - site investigations of key enterprises, roadshows of emerging projects, and the establishment of a resource docking platform for industry, investment, and financing, it precisely integrates the resources of multiple parties such as the government, industrial parks, capital, and enterprises in the industrial chain to jointly explore new technologies, new ideas, and new models in the dual carbon field.

On July 24th, the first stop of the "Dual Carbon Star Species · Carbon Exploration Plan", themed "Future Transportation", was successfully held in Zhengzhou Airport Economic Zone. On - site, Li Zheng, a partner and vice - president of 36Kr, delivered a speech titled "Moving towards on - site collaboration in the industrial chain and entering the real decision - making field of leading enterprises in the chain".

Distinguished guests and friends, good day. Thank you all for coming to the site of the 4th "Dual Carbon Star Species · Carbon Exploration Plan" jointly hosted by 36Kr, Orient Securities, and its subsidiaries, Orient Securities Innovation and Orient Securities Capital.

When "dual carbon" is no longer just a distant target but an imminent countdown, our roles are also undergoing profound changes.

In the past, many enterprises regarded "dual carbon" as a policy response or environmental compliance. However, as we truly enter 2025, with less than five years left until the 2030 "carbon peak" goal, what we are witnessing is a substantial stress test for China's green transformation: the vision of leading enterprises in the chain, the effectiveness of policies, and the underlying variables of technology will all be comprehensively examined.

If in the past few years, we used the "Dual Carbon Star Species Competition" mechanism to build a stage for green innovation enterprises to be discovered and showcased; then this year, we choose to start anew, shifting from hosting a competition to three industrial belt visits, moving towards on - site collaboration in the industrial chain, and transitioning from a judging field that compares technological routes to the real decision - making field of leading enterprises in the chain.

Why the change? Because we are in a more challenging five - year window period - there are less than five years left until the 2030 "carbon peak" goal.

The starting point of the new round of the "Carbon Exploration Plan" is to explore the structural capabilities that can truly withstand the test of time in these remaining crucial five years. We are focusing on three key scenarios: future transportation, future energy, and future cities, delving into industrial high - ground areas and going to the front - line of leading enterprises in the chain to see how they define development paths and mobilize industrial collaboration.

36Kr has always adhered to the principle of "enabling some people to see the future first". This year, we launched a new content brand - 36Kr Future Industries, aiming to record the latest developments in various cutting - edge industrial chains, including the dual carbon field, discover more high - quality projects, and provide all - round support for enterprises.

This year marks the fourth year of cooperation between 36Kr and Orient Securities. Thank you for the continuous support from Orient Securities and its subsidiaries. I look forward to the "Carbon Exploration Plan" this year, through a series of industrial dialogues and real - life green capability assessments, jointly reconstructing the Chinese expression of "green competitiveness" with all parties.

Thank you again to every partner. We believe that the power of green starts from understanding the industry and seeing each other.
