The list of the "25 Influential Corporate Leaders of the Year" in 2024 released

Since its inception in 2003, China Entrepreneur's annual list of "Influential Corporate Leaders of the Year" has celebrated entrepreneurs who have made significant contributions to China's economy and industries. Over 22 years, a total of 148 distinguished corporate leaders have been honored. This year, Chairman Liu Hanyuan of Tongwei Group joins an illustrious group of honorees on the list of the "25 Influential Corporate Leaders of the Year" in 2024, including Lei Jun (Chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Corporation), Wang Xiangming (Chairman of China Resources Group), Wang Chuanfu (Chairman and President of BYD Co., Ltd.), Zeng Yuqun (Chairman of CATL), Robin Li (Chairman and CEO of Baidu), Yang Yuanqing (Chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group Ltd.), and Fang Hongbo (Chairman and President of Midea Group).

Chairman Liu Hanyuan's inclusion in this prestigious list reflects the recognition of Tongwei's unwavering commitment to the "double green" development path over the past 42 years. As a renewable energy leader, Tongwei has actively fulfilled its responsibilities to promote global sustainable development. In doing so, Tongwei has been widely recognized by the community. China Entrepreneur lauded Chairman Liu's visionary leadership, noting, "When the PV industry faced cyclical fluctuations, Tongwei, under Liu Hanyuan's guidance, sought a new growth fulcrum by prioritizing innovative research and development and expanding into global markets. In 2024, Tongwei secured a GW-level order from Saudi Arabia, and its independently developed heterojunction modules broke the world record for maximum output power nine times. This 'ruthless innovator' in the PV industry continues to lead counter-cyclical expansions and explore new pathways for growth."
