Yuanchuang China Series Event:

Australia-China Clean Energy Leadership Program

Coming Soon!

From June 8th to 10th, funded by the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations (NFACR) under the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the first exchange activity (Emerging Leaders-China Exchange Activity) of the Australia-China Clean Energy Leadership Program, part of the "Yuanchuang China" series, will be held in Shanghai. This event is jointly organized by the Yangtze Institute for Solar Technology (YIST), the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP), and the University of New South Wales (UNSW).

Since its establishment, the "Yuanchuang China" series has been successfully held in April and November 2024, with a total of 13 entrepreneurial teams participating in project roadshows. The events invited distinguished guests including Li Junfeng, Executive Director of the China Energy Research Society; Professor Zhengrong Shi, Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering; Shu Hua, Vice Chairman of GCL Group; Dengyuan Song, CTO of Dawn Energy; Shijun Li, Co-founder of Shenzhen Jet Equipment Technology Co., Ltd.; and Pierre Verlinden, Chief Scientist of the Yangtze Institute for Solar Technology, to provide one-on-one guidance to the entrepreneurial teams from perspectives of investment, operation, market, and technology. Government, enterprise, and capital representatives were also invited to facilitate industrial implementation for the entrepreneurial teams, achieving good results.

Building on this success, the 2025 "Yuanchuang China" program has been upgraded to collaborate with UNSW and ACAP in organizing the Australia-China Clean Energy Leadership Program. This initiative aims to deepen innovative cooperation between China and Australia in the renewable energy sector through a series of seminars, specialized training, and field visits, creating a high-level learning and exchange platform for over 300 young professionals from both countries to cultivate future technical leaders with international vision and innovative capabilities.

For this event, we are honored to invite Professor Martin Green, Laureate Professor at UNSW and "Father of Solar Cells," Pierre Verlinden, Chief Scientist of YIST, and other internationally renowned experts to deliver special lectures. The program will also include roundtable discussions, innovative project roadshows, and visits to new energy projects.

We sincerely invite business leaders, industry experts, entrepreneurs, researchers, and investment consultants in the clean energy and sustainable development fields from both China and Australia to participate in this exchange activity.

This exchange activity will focus on the development and innovation of the China-Australia new energy industry, targeting startup founders, young entrepreneurs, and early innovators interested in cross-border cooperation and growth opportunities. Through various formats such as special lectures, roundtable discussions, and project roadshows, the event will facilitate in-depth exchanges between Chinese and Australian participants, connecting them with industry experts to establish substantive relationships. Field visits to leading Chinese new energy enterprises will be arranged to deepen understanding of actual industry operations. Additionally, as this event coincides with the 18th International Solar Photovoltaic and Smart Energy (Shanghai) Conference and Exhibition (SNEC), participants are encouraged to visit the exhibition to learn about global cutting-edge trends and industry developments in new energy technologies.
