On the afternoon of January 28, at the main session of the 2023 Wenzhou Entrepreneurs Conference, Chairman Xiang Guangming was honored with the conference’s highest accolade—the “Wenzhou Entrepreneur Investment Special Contribution Award”.
“Wenzhou is my hometown, with an exceptional business environment. That’s why I invested in new energy projects here, hoping to reignite the glory of Wenzhou’s industrial development,” Chairman Xiang stated emotionally in a prior interview. In late April 2022, the Wenzhou Lithium Battery New Materials Project—jointly invested by Weiming Environment Protection, Tsingshan Holding Group, Chengtun Mining, and Sunwoda—officially settled in Wenzhou. In September of the same year, Weiming partnered with Tsingshan Holding Group and GEM to plan investments in a battery recycling project in Longwan District and a low-carbon new energy battery materials industrial park in Dongtou District.
At the conference, Wenzhou entrepreneurs from around the globe gathered, with leaders of Wenzhou’s four municipal leadership bodies (Party, government, legislative, and advisory organs) in attendance. Liu Xiaotao, Member of the Standing Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Wenzhou Municipal Party Committee, delivered a speech, while Zhang Zhenfeng, Deputy Secretary of the Wenzhou Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, presided over the event. Secretary Liu extended Lunar New Year greetings to global Wenzhou entrepreneurs and welcomed them to “return home.”
Chairman Xiang Guangming remarked that the award is both an honor and a motivation. He pledged that Weiming Environment Protection, alongside its new materials project partners, will accelerate project implementation to tangibly contribute to the development of Wenzhou’s new energy industry.
