The team expressed deep admiration for Mr. Huang, General Manager of Shouhang Energy Conservation, and Mr. Liu, General Manager of the Dunhuang company, for their professionalism, perseverance, and strong sense of national mission. They have cultivated numerous talents in the solar thermal power field, and the participants gained valuable insights from the company's internal organizational structure and career progression system. As a pioneer in solar thermal power generation, Shouhang has been deeply committed to technological innovation, holding 100% independent intellectual property rights. It is precisely due to the persistence of entrepreneurs with strong entrepreneurial spirit and national sentiment that sustainable ecological development becomes achievable even in this vast desert.
