Donated 3 billion yuan to the Education Charity Fund to support China's science and education strategy

At the launching ceremony, Wang Chuanfu said that without the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, there would be no BYD today, nor would there be China's new energy vehicles today. BYD is grateful to the national strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, and to the universities for cultivating outstanding talents. BYD donated 3 billion to focus on education charity, which will be used for university scholarships and popularization of new energy technology, to promote the vigorous development of China's science and education.

BYD will work with more than 100 universities across the country to set up scholarships to reward the best and help the country cultivate more outstanding talents. At the press conference, the first batch of 35 universities have officially started the scholarship cooperation.

In addition, BYD will donate new energy vehicle technology popular science exhibits to major science and technology museums, museums and some schools across the country to promote the enlightenment and popularization of new energy vehicle technology and help cultivate the next generation of engineers. The first batch of 28 science and technology museums and museums will reach cooperation with BYD.

At the scene, Li Jiancheng, president of Central South University, Wang Chuanfu's alma mater and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that BYD's donation of 3 billion yuan to establish an education charity fund is a righteous act of BYD to serve the construction of a strong country with practical actions. It fully demonstrates the company's social responsibility and deeply interprets the sincere heart and patriotism of alumnus Wang Chuanfu. It will surely inject new warmth into the development of China's higher education and gather the power of love.

Qiao Xiaopeng, director of the Beijing Automobile Museum, said in his speech that BYD donated new energy vehicle dissection vehicles to domestic museums and science and technology museums as popular science exhibits for popular science education, which will surely inspire young people's interest in automotive technology and industrial manufacturing and help cultivate more outstanding engineers!

Talent is BYD's most valuable asset

BYD dares to employ, reuse and train fresh graduates. From 1997 to now, BYD has never stopped recruiting fresh graduates for 28 years. In the past two or three years, BYD has recruited more than 50,000 fresh graduates, of which nearly 70% are masters and doctors, and nearly 80% are R&D talents. BYD has achieved "education relay" from school to society through a complete talent training system. At present, more than half of BYD's senior executives and technical backbones are trained from fresh graduates.

In 2017, BYD established a postdoctoral innovation and practice base to start postdoctoral talent training and advance the "education relay" into a new chapter. In the past seven years, BYD has gradually formed a postdoctoral training pattern of "three stations and four bases" in Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Xi'an. It has joined forces with 15 first-class universities and 35 first-level disciplines across the country, invited more than 1,000 first-class mentors including 3 academicians and more than 10 Yangtze River Scholars, and trained nearly 1,600 postdoctoral fellows in total. Currently, BYD has nearly 1,400 postdoctoral fellows in the station, ranking first in the country, and the retention rate after leaving the station is as high as 100%. This provides BYD with a strong talent pool for climbing to the peak of new energy technology.

BYD also provides talents with care and concern in life, and provides R&D apartments for young employees. It builds a welfare community "Yadi Village" for married employees, which employees can buy at a very low price. In terms of the education of employees' children, BYD has invested in the construction of a nine-year "Yadi School" entrusted to Shenzhen Middle School for management. It is one of the junior high schools with the best education quality in Shenzhen, and once created a miracle of three top scorers in five years. BYD values ​​talents, cares about talents, and tries every means to solve the worries of talents.

Donating to promote education and boosting the development of China's automobile industry

my country is a country with a large population. After the reform and opening up, relying on the demographic dividend, China has become the world's factory. Now, after decades of development of Chinese education, my country has developed from a country with a large population to a country with strong talent. With such a talent dividend, we are moving from a manufacturing power to a smart manufacturing power. In the automotive field, my country has also mastered the core technology and industrial chain of new energy through the development of new energy and the technological innovation of generations of engineers, realizing the leap from a large automobile country to a powerful automobile country.

BYD donated 3 billion yuan to the Education Charity Fund to help the development of China's science and education, cultivate more outstanding talents for China's automobile industry, promote innovation and development in science and technology fields such as new energy vehicles, build momentum for the country to develop new quality automobile productivity, and lay a solid foundation for becoming a strong automobile country.
