The advent of new technologies is reshaping industrial boundaries and supply-demand dynamics, leading to significant industrial transformations.

In the face of high uncertainty surrounding global technological advancements and industrial evolution, private enterprises in China have adeptly identified opportunities and risks stemming from these shifts.

Chinese private companies have established themselves as integral players in high-tech sectors such as embodied artificial intelligence, new energy vehicles, information communication devices, integrated circuits, and intelligent driving. They have also emerged as pivotal forces in forward-looking fields like commercial spaceflight, chips, and artificial intelligence, thereby playing crucial roles in industrial transformation and development.

These enterprises have significantly contributed to driving the country's high-quality economic growth.

A supportive institutional environment, coupled with a flexible and resilient collaborative system, and visionary entrepreneurs, have transformed regions such as the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta into prominent hubs for private high-tech firms engaged in strategic and emerging future industries.

**Inclusive local policies support the development of patient capital and foster a favorable innovation ecosystem.**

Local industrial policies that prioritize long-term development over short-term financial goals facilitate a patient and sustainable investment landscape.

Developing cutting-edge technologies requires ongoing innovation, rather than quick fixes.

Such inclusive policies empower companies to concentrate on long-term technological advancements without the burden of immediate pressures. Collaborative long-term research between local universities and industries has produced high-quality talent and resources necessary for cultivating innovative industries, thereby forming a robust tech entrepreneurial ecosystem and shared values among entrepreneurs.

**Grand visions and goals fuel tech entrepreneurs to navigate challenges.**

Shared cultural values and a united development philosophy inspire founding teams to pursue ambitious technological innovation objectives that serve humanity.

For example, DeepSeek's founder Liang Wenfeng expresses a desire for wide accessibility to large models at low costs, preventing monopolization by a few entities. Huawei's founder Ren Zhengfei emphasizes the necessity for private enterprises to be involved in establishing global technological standards, thereby strengthening national technological capacities.

Through alignment with these grand visions, enterprises can liberate themselves from conventional limitations, concentrate on pressing real-world challenges, and discover new scenarios and demands.

By developing innovative technologies and products, they can capitalize on the opportunities presented by technological and asset discontinuities.

With commitment, they can emerge as disruptors within their industries and architects of new industry standards, thus enhancing their technological and asset value.

**Open-source strategies foster cross-industry collaboration, reshaping the industrial landscape with smart innovation and manufacturing.**

Open-source strategies effectively promote the widespread adoption of new technologies, such as AI, across various sectors, leading to the creation of industry-specific technologies tailored to unique applications.

For instance, the deep integration of AI with industrial technologies has accelerated innovation and the development of novel products, making "smart innovation" a defining characteristic of advancement.

The implementation of AI in production has improved both efficiency and quality, transforming traditional manufacturing into "smart manufacturing" and enabling low-cost, high-profit business models.

The rise of smart innovation and manufacturing is expected to further enhance the high-quality development of industries, fostering a competitive landscape rooted in innovation—a constructive form of competition.

Such progress will expedite shifts in the global industrial framework.

For example, DeepSeek's open-source initiative has prompted major international firms like OpenAI to adapt their strategies and accelerate efforts to introduce new technologies and products.
