Zhang Tongyi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, academician of the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences, and director of the Institute of Materials and Genome Engineering at Shanghai University; Liu Jiongtian, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor at Zhengzhou University; Shen Zhengchang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chief scientist of Mining and Metallurgy Technology Group Co., Ltd.; Zhang Xiangming, deputy secretary-general of the provincial government; former director of the Ministry of Science and Information Technology of the State Energy Group, deputy director of the National Key Laboratory of Water Resources Protection and Utilization in coal mining; valid candidate for academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2025; Russia, Foreign Academician Li Quansheng of Ukraine; Wu Bozeng, Foreign Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Distinguished Professor at China University of Mining (Beijing), and Executive Deputy Director of the National Engineering Laboratory for Efficient Utilization of Indium Tin (Beijing); Luo Ping, Deputy Secretary of the Honghe Prefecture Party Committee and Governor; Shang Chaoqiu, Member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Science and Technology; Sun Yong, Party Secretary and Chairman of Yunnan Tin Holdings Company; Han Shouli, Deputy Party Secretary, Vice Chairman, and General Manager; Song Xingcheng, Party Committee Member and Deputy General Manager; and Wu Jun, Party Committee Member and Deputy General Manager, attended the forum's opening ceremony.
Zhang delivered a speech and mentioned that Yunnan Tin will always be regarded as one family. In the AI era, promoting "AI + Science" and "AI + tin-indium industries" must solidify laboratories as "hard foundations" for production and first-principles computing, as well as other AI-related computing "soft foundations," and data must flow efficiently between the "two pillars." He hopes Yunnan Tin will proactively "set the questions," universities and research institutes will work together to "solve problems," and both sides will work as one, rolling up their sleeves and working hard to elevate the tin and indium industry to new heights.
Sun Yong delivered a speech and stated that tin and indium are "ubiquitous and irreplaceable" in strategic emerging industries. Artificial intelligence is reshaping the global industrial ecosystem, and promoting the deep integration of "AI + tin-indium" is a strategic choice for building new competitive advantages. As a global "dual leader" enterprise in the tin-indium industry, Yunnan Tin is committed to the "two global best" goals and actively builds an innovation system centered on the Yunnan tin-indium laboratory. Yunnan Tin is willing to work hand in hand with all sectors to build an open collaborative innovation ecosystem, expand paths for industry-university-research-application cooperation, and jointly nurture the future of sustainable development, jointly enhancing the global competitiveness of China's tin indium industry.
Han Shouli presided over the forum's opening ceremony and expressed gratitude for the care and support from the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. He mentioned that, under the atmosphere of the Tengchong Scientist Forum "Three Years of Achievement, Promising Future," the discussion on the development of the tin-indium industry is especially meaningful. Tin Indium is a key "computing power metal." The discussion of "AI + tin-indium" not only concerns how AI can empower industrial upgrading but also reveals the broad prospects of tin-indium in the computing power economy. Yunnan Tin will firmly rely on technological innovation and join hands with all parties to jointly promote the development of the tin-indium industry.
roundtable session, Yunnan Tin, together with experts and enterprise representatives from resource, metallurgy, and deep processing fields such as China Enfi, Zhuzhou Smelting, Lead Technology, Yuntong Zinc Industry, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Central South University, and Wenshan Prefecture Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, jointly explored the path for Wenshan's indium industry to leap from a "resource highland" to a "value highland," centered on the theme "Indium Gathering in Wenshan, Chain Going to the World."
forum effectively brings together wisdom from government, industry, academia, and research, injecting strong momentum into the transformation and upgrading of the tin indium industry. Yunnan Tin will work hand in hand with industry chain partners to continuously deepen the integrated innovation of "AI + tin-indium industry development," promoting the industry's leapfrog development toward high-end, intelligent, and green directions, and contributing greater strength to serving national strategic needs and building a modern industrial system.
