Join us on March 11 for a special Executive Forum on Opportunities and Challenges for Chinese Automotive Brands: The NIO Way with Mr. Lihong Qin, co-founder and President of NIO.

About this event

Amidst a new wave of technological revolution and industrial transformation, smart electric vehicles have become a global development trend, bringing huge opportunities for China to establish a leading role in the global automotive industry. On the other hand, competition in the Chinese automotive market has significantly intensified, from Auto Shanghai 2023 - which attracted global attention - to continuous model releases and price reductions by different brands throughout the year, with numerous contenders vying to be among the ultimate winners.

Mr. Lihong Qin, co-founder and president of NIO, will share how the company has understood these opportunities and established a successful premium EV brand from scratch. He will also offer insight into NIO’s strategic practices as a smart EV company on the cusp of reaching its tenth anniversary and explain how NIO builds its systematic competitiveness through full stack development and multi-dimensional innovation, bringing users a full-lifecycle experience that exceeds their expectations while actively responding to rapidly developing market challenges.
