With the theme “Inheritance and Innovation,” leading figures from various sectors engaged in in-depth discussions and exchanges on how science and technology‑driven enterprises can seize the opportunities presented during the 14th Five-Year Plan period to strengthen their core competitiveness. At the summit, the highly anticipated “Science and Technology Innovation Golden Steed” awards were unveiled, with Jiuri New Materials honored with the “Outstanding Company Award” under the “Golden Steed” series.

　　As a leader in the photoinitiator industry, the company has made technological innovation its core mission, forging a development path driven by science and technology. Its capabilities in technological innovation, market competitiveness, and brand influence have grown steadily over time. In 2019, the company was recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology as one of the first batch of “Little Giant” enterprises specializing in niche fields and demonstrating exceptional strength. In 2020, its subsidiary Hunan Jiuri was designated as a second‑batch “Little Giant” enterprise by the Ministry, while its other subsidiary, Shandong Jiuri, was certified by the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology as a “specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative” small and medium‑sized enterprise.

　　Technology serves as the tool, shouldering the heavy responsibility of development; innovation is the source, paving the way for the industry’s future. Adhering to an industrial development strategy centered on the photopolymerization sector and prioritizing the semiconductor industry, the company pursues a growth strategy of “industry consolidation, horizontal expansion, and vertical integration” in its core photopolymerization business. With a focus on existing products and markets, and guided by a global operating strategy, the company aims to maintain and strengthen its leading position in the photoinitiator segment while continuously broadening its product portfolio. It is steadily ramping up R&D, production, and sales of specialty monomers, resins, and other photopolymerization raw materials, and actively expanding into new material segments within the photopolymerization industry. These efforts are designed to enhance its overall competitive edge, positioning the company as a global leader in the photopolymerization sector and realizing its vision of becoming “the world’s premier provider of photopolymerization materials.” At the same time, the company continues to extend its reach into areas such as semiconductor‑related electronic chemical materials, leveraging its strengths in chemical synthesis to comprehensively advance the R&D and manufacturing of photoresists and other electronic chemicals essential to the semiconductor industry, thereby making a meaningful contribution to China’s progress in these fields.
