On April 16th, the Huayou Holding Group 2025 Cadres Conference was held at the headquarters in Tongxiang. The conference, themed "Great Opportunities and Great Achievements, Firm Strategic Direction to Promote High-Quality Development," comprehensively summarized the achievements during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period and systematically planned the strategic layout for the "15th Five-Year Plan." Chairman Chen Xuehua delivered a keynote speech at the conference.

Facing the new wave of technological revolution, Chairman Chen clearly required placing scientific and technological innovation at the core of the "15th Five-Year Plan" strategy: promoting technological upgrades in lithium battery materials, accelerating the application of new technologies and industrial innovation integration, and cultivating new productive forces. By strengthening R&D investment, deepening industry-academia-research cooperation, and improving innovation incentive mechanisms, efforts will focus on breaking through technical barriers in frontier areas such as high-nickel materials, solid-state batteries, and recycling processes, aiming to become a technical benchmark in the global lithium battery material industry.

In terms of organizational capability building, the conference proposed enhancing five major capabilities and practicing three working methods to forge a cadre team: enhancing thinking ability, communication skills, cohesion, integration ability, and combat effectiveness, nurturing leading talents who can "plan and accomplish tasks well"; through systematic thinking combined with key breakthroughs, analogical reasoning complemented by comprehensive understanding, and synergy facilitated by resource integration, cadres are expected to become experts in their fields and strategic managers.

"As a private enterprise that has gone through more than 30 years of development to become one of China's top 500 enterprises, we are grateful for our great country and this great era," concluded Chairman Chen, calling on all Huayou employees to recognize that the Huayou cause is a shared endeavor, and the hardworking Huayou people are the greatest confidence for its success. He hoped that cadres would take advantage of the Huayou platform to make significant contributions and realize their ambitions.
