On September 9, the All‑China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) released two lists — the Top 500 Private Enterprises by R&D Investment and the Top 500 Private Enterprises by Invention Patents — at the 2026 Conference on Innovative Development of Private Economy. Huayou Holdings Group has made the lists once again, ranking 121st on the R&D Investment List and 290th on the Invention Patent List.

Science and technology innovation is the primary driving force for development. Guided by its science‑and‑technology strategy of “Underpinning Industries, Shaping the Future”, Huayou Holdings Group has consistently consolidated its role as the main innovation‑driving entity. It keeps scaling up R&D investment and building a full‑chain R&D system covering basic research, technological development, achievement transformation and industrial application. The Group strives for rapid commercialisation of innovation outcomes, fast build‑up of industrial capacity and steady expansion of market reach.

A host of high‑level national‑level innovation platforms have been put into operation, including the National Enterprise Technology Center, National Post‑doctoral Research Workstation, National Demonstration Enterprise for Technological Innovation and National Green Factory. Huayou has been awarded the State Scientific and Technological Progress Award and China Patent Excellence Award. It has led multiple national‑level projects and the formulation of international standards. Its research capacity and R&D intensity have long kept it among the industry’s first tier.

    Looking ahead to the 15th Five‑Year Plan period, the Company will fully align itself with the national strategy for building a strong energy country and the innovation‑driven development strategy.
