Nowadays, going global has gradually shifted from a business-oriented approach to an investment-oriented approach, which is also an important transformation for EVE in the process of globalization. Regarding future development strategies, he mentioned three stages of development, namely exploration and responsibility, energy conservation and carbon reduction, technological innovation and resource recovery, which are strategic indicators for these three stages.

The development of new energy has entered a period of accelerated adjustment. Where should new energy enterprises focus their efforts in the future? Dr. He Wei summarized in three concise sentences: firstly, emphasizing innovation, building core competitiveness, forming differentiation, and avoiding homogenization; the second is light assets, focus on specialized and refined operation of segmented markets to avoid risks; Thirdly, overseas markets should understand cooperation and respect, attach great importance to communication skills, be customer-oriented, efficiently collaborate, and work together towards new.

Faced with new markets, opportunities, and challenges in the new energy industry, EVE has always adhered to its mission of " reliable and harmonious development", constructed a digital, intelligent, and globalized strategic layout, and has the ability to "manufacture globally, deliver globally, and serve globally". In the future, EVE will continue to lead by the "dual carbon" goal, firmly practice the concept of ecological priority and green development, collaborate with alumni from China and Europe, actively explore technological innovation, energy management, and make outstanding contributions to sustainable development.
