"China News Weekly" honors these individuals by highlighting their exceptional performances over the past year and their contributions to advancing social progress.
The "Industry Leader of the Year" award is a prestigious recognition within the "Influential Figures of the Year" framework, celebrating pioneers and dedicated individuals in various industries. As one of the early practitioners in China's vehicle networking industry, Shen Ziyu possesses forward-looking industry insights and the ability to strategically position the business across the industry. He is recognized as a pioneer and authority in the field of vehicle networking in China. Since founding his first company in 2016, he has focused on integrating the upstream and downstream of the smart mobility industry by establishing companies such as ChipKing Technology, Ecotrons Technology, and Xingji Meizu Group. His efforts have contributed to creating a unified ecosystem of intelligent connected hardware and software, continuously promoting the deep integration of China's consumer electronics and automotive industries.
In the era of the Internet of Everything, cross-industry collaboration shapes higher commercial value. Shen Ziyu is committed to the cross-industry integration of consumer electronics and the automotive industry. He was among the first in the industry to propose the concept of the "Mobile Area," which empowers the automotive industry through consumer electronics.
The "Mobile Area" represents the "sixth Area" that transcends the traditional five Areas of automobiles (power Area, chassis Area, body Area, cockpit Area, and autonomous driving Area), allowing mobile phones to truly integrate and become a part of vehicles. Building on the "Mobile Area" concept, he has keenly observed that the automotive industry has entered its 3.0 era, where intelligence and ecology are the key themes. The integration of the consumer electronics industry with the automotive sector is an inevitable trend.
As stated in the award speech, Shen Ziyu has accurately identified the cutting-edge trends of deep integration between the automotive and consumer electronics industries. He is dedicated to bridging key areas of core technology, empowering a group of innovative "pioneers" in the Chinese automotive sector. He has profoundly foreseen that smartphones and cars are the two main intelligent terminal gateways of this era. Their deep integration will not only provide consumers with new experiences but also create exponentially growing industrial opportunities. The company he leads has already become a shining star in China's automotive 3.0 era.
The title of "Industry Leader of the Year" is not only a recognition of Shen Ziyu's abilities but also an affirmation of the concept of "deep integration of consumer electronics and the automotive industry," which is actively advocated by the Xingji Meizu Group. In the future, Xingji Meizu Group will continue to focus on the deep integration and super synergy of consumer electronics and the automotive industry around the theme of "mobile + XR + smart vehicles," providing users with multi-terminal, all-scenario, and immersive integrated experiences, and building a global intelligent travel technology ecosystem.
