Special Topic: "Salute to China's Economy — Entrepreneur Night 2026." The "Salute to China's Economy — Entrepreneur Night" initiative has now been launched. This event, introduced in 2015 by Sina Finance and other organizations, is designed to pay tribute to the entrepreneurial community.
The initiative, themed "Saluting the Driving Forces of the New Era," is built on five dimensions — innovation, disruption, foresight, growth, and sustainability — to thoroughly map the trajectory of China's economic and industrial development for the year, uncover outstanding entrepreneurial role models, and champion the spirit of the new era: commitment to industry, courage in innovation, and a sense of responsibility and enterprise.
At each year's ceremony, the organizing committee combines netizen endorsements with expert recommendations to ultimately invite ten entrepreneurs who have delivered exceptional performance that year to share their journeys and exchange innovative ideas.
