Dear Respected Ambassador Ronner Grubacic, Respected Vice-minister Lin Yi and representatives,

Good afternoon! My name is Liangyan, General Manager of Anhui Yuanchen Environmental Protection Science and Technology Company. It is my great honor to attend the side event as a representative of Chinese female entrepreneurs.

Eighteen years ago, I started a business with my husband, Mr. Xu Hui, We founded Yuanchen Technology  by our child’s name, We nurtured and took it as our second son, and got many awards like “Special new giant enterprise” issued by MIIT, National enterprise technology center and national postdoctoral research workstation. Yuanchen technology was successfully listed on the SSE star market of the Shanghai Stock Exchange at twenty -twenty one.（2021）

Climate change is a common challenge for human. The Chinese government pays high attention to climate change, always keeps high quality development. Chairman Xi Jinping emphasized many times for the concept of “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”, and committed to the international community on “carbon peak and carbon neutral” on the Seventy-fifth session of the UNGA. Since Yuanchen Technology was founded, I have been leading the team to comply with the development trends of the times and plan for development at the height of harmony between humans and nature.

Over the years of the development of Yuanchen, it has an important period of “China’s Economic Reform, open up and development”, Also, the state encouraged scientific and technological innovation to start the “Blue Sky Protection Campaign”. I remembered that in the year 2014, the requirement of ultra-clean emissions had been put forward in coal-fired power plant. We have insight into the huge demand for new technologies and products in the future market, which brings new opportunities for the development of our company.

So I ran in the front, and brought my team visit and researched the market many times, depth understanding of pain points and urgent needs from customers. After returning back to the company, I took the lead in research and development, production, testing, day and night. After a long time of hard work, we developed a new filter material which can reduce the dust emissions by less than 5 milligram. This new product has been promoted and applied in China's power industry very quickly and got good feedback from all customers. We rank the No.1 market share in coal-fire power plants in the next five years.

Through the challenges and successes experienced during the business's growth, I have come to understand the vital importance of unwavering self-motivation possessed by female entrepreneurs.

In recent years, AWE was founded, offering a platform for our women.In 2021, the four provinces of the Yangtze River Delta hosted an event specially for "Women's Science and Technology Innovation Week”.It was my honor as female  representative to share my experience in the event, we encourage more women to take the lead in innovation and entrepreneurship.

How to keep a balance on career, family and children is the main topic for us. In my opinion, same target and soul resonance with my partner, possess a grateful heart, feel grateful to parents, times, and nation.

Looking to the future, I will share hands and cooperate with all of you here, acting as a protective guardian for the ecological environment, fulfilling the concept of green development, promoting women's development in step with economic and social development, protecting the rights and interests of women and children. Making a contribution to the world's environmental friendliness and human health! We would like to invite friends from all over the world to visit beautiful China.

Thank you!
