In the era of meticulous development, the wave surges in Jiahe: The Industrial Future Conference invites you to ride the new wave of industrial transformation together.

In 2025, the global economic landscape and industrial ecosystem are undergoing profound and complex changes. The wave of the technological revolution is surging forward, the logic of the capital market is being quietly reshaped, and the era of extensive growth has come to an end. An era of "intensive cultivation" that focuses more on depth, collaboration, and long - term value is unfolding.

Over the past decade, we have witnessed a magnificent paradigm shift in the Chinese business world. We have always firmly believed that amidst all the noise and uncertainties, there is a long - termist force that can truly transcend cycles and reconstruct value chains.

In 2025, the outline of this force has become clearer than ever before.

The mainstays of future business will surely belong to those intensive cultivators who are willing and able to deeply cultivate vertical scenarios, build technological barriers, and achieve ecological collaboration. They are no longer satisfied with breakthroughs in single - point technologies. Instead, they are committed to realizing large - scale commercial monetization of technological value through vertical scenarios and ecological collaboration.

Against this backdrop, 36Kr will grandly host the Future of Industry Conference with the theme of "The Era of Intensive Cultivation, the Surging Wave in Jiahe" in Xiamen, China from September 10th to 11th, 2025.

This conference will bring together the top wisdom of the government, capital, and industry. It will focus on five core tracks: artificial intelligence, low - altitude economy, advanced manufacturing, new energy, and mass consumption, and jointly draw the future blueprint for China's industrial development.

We hope to build a platform where real industrial builders can gather to jointly discuss how to grasp the pulse of industrial development and promote the capital to truly shift from scale expansion to an efficiency revolution in the new historical cycle.

The Duet of "Patient Capital" and "Industrial Collaboration"

In the past year, China's venture capital market has shown amazing resilience in the face of challenges.

Firstly, the market has gradually recovered under the precise support of policies, and the fields of hard technology and advanced manufacturing have become the absolute main themes. Secondly, the role of capital is undergoing a profound transformation from a supplier to an ecological builder. The long - termist force represented by patient capital is reshaping the regional innovation environment.

Behind this, there is not only the strong guidance of national policies, but also the fact that "patient capital" has become the ballast stone driving the industrial giant ship forward. During the Two Sessions in 2025, the National Development and Reform Commission announced the establishment of a "carrier - class" national venture capital guidance fund. Its core concept of "investing in early - stage, small - scale, long - term, and hard - technology projects" indicates the official start of a trillion - level patient capital era.

Currently, local state - owned assets and government guidance funds are becoming the pioneers of this wave. They no longer simply play the role of "capital suppliers". Instead, through the model of "patient capital + industrial collaboration", they are deeply involved in and reshaping the regional innovation environment, shifting from simple capital "transfusion" to sustainable "hematopoietic" ecological cultivation.

This also reveals a profound transformation: the value of capital is no longer just financial returns, but also the construction of a prosperous ecosystem where innovative enterprises can thrive. At the same time, China's venture capital market in 2025 has entered a new cycle of "hard technology + scenario implementation + patient capital". With the in - depth coupling of policies, technologies, and capital, only through intensive cultivation can we grasp the torrent of industrial development.

A Thought - Provoking Feast for the Future

The 2025 36Kr Future of Industry Conference aims to be comprehensively upgraded to create a truly high - standard, high - value, and high - influence industrial event.

This year, 36Kr will for the first time join hands with the "China International Fair for Investment and Trade" (referred to as "CIFIT") hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of China to jointly accelerate global trade negotiations. This powerful alliance will integrate resources to an unprecedented extent, bringing together hundreds of billions of capital, accessing high - potential global tracks, and achieving a double leap in project quality and docking efficiency.

We are well aware that industrial progress stems from the collision of ideas. Therefore, we have invited the top scholars, representatives of key enterprises in emerging and future industries that the country currently focuses on, representatives from state - owned and financial funds, and guests from the industrial investment field in China and even globally. They will bring the most cutting - edge theoretical thinking, the most acute capital insights, the most real industrial needs, and the most vivid practical experiences.

The conference will closely follow national strategies and market trends, focusing on five core tracks: artificial intelligence, low - altitude economy, advanced manufacturing, new energy, and mass consumption, and discuss cutting - edge issues.

During the two - day agenda, the conference will take the "industrial collaboration chain" as the main line. The topics will focus more on how the government, capital, and industry can collaborate to jointly solve the pain points and bottlenecks in industrial development.

The best connections happen in the most natural scenarios. Therefore, the conference has specially designed the "9.8 - mile long - distance run" activity. The track will connect urban landmarks such as Xiamen's Huandao Road, Yanwu Bridge, and Zengcuo'an, allowing participants to feel the charm of the "Garden on the Sea" while running. This is not only a physical challenge but also a deep fit with the concept of "patient capital and long - term companionship".

"Jiahe" is an ancient and beautiful name for Xiamen, meaning strong and healthy rice plants. It symbolizes hope, perseverance, and harvest.

We are in an era that requires intensive cultivation. The noise of the market is fading, and the bubbles of speculation are being squeezed out. An era that truly tests foresight, patience, and practical work has arrived. For those "intensive cultivators" who possess core technologies, have a deep understanding of scenarios, and are committed to building industrial ecosystems, this is undoubtedly the best of times.

The 2025 36Kr Future of Industry Conference is not just a meeting, but also a declaration and a call. We sincerely invite every industrial builder, capital enabler, and policy guide to jointly witness and participate in shaping a more glorious future for China's industry.
