It is difficult for one person to lift a heavy object, but easy for many to move it together - A letter from the chairman of Korun to colleagues in the flow battery industry!

Distinguished leaders, experts, Professor Zhang, Secretary General Guo, distinguished guests, good morning:

It is a great honor that the Standardization Committee has given Krun this opportunity. In this warm spring for vanadium flow batteries, and at a critical moment in the industry's development, we gather in Nanping, Fujian, known for its beautiful scenery. Here, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to all the experts and colleagues who have come from afar. Everyone, "Thank you for your hard work and journey! "

Krun has three major bases: Suzhou, Huai'an, and Nanping. Among them, the Nanping resin base, as the group's "strategic core," is our "crucial facility" in the field of perfluorinated ion membranes. Choosing Nanping as the venue for this conference is not only because of its beautiful scenery and culture, but also because the Nanping municipal government has created a favorable business environment for enterprises. It is on this fertile ground that Fujian Krun has created the "Krun speed" in the fluorochemical industry. We are willing to act as a local enterprise, building a bridge between the vanadium flow battery industry and the development of Nanping, allowing the roots of technology to take deep root in northern Fujian and the industry to flourish.

Looking back on the industry's journey, I have been involved in the vanadium flow battery industry for 17 years since graduating. From humble beginnings to a certain scale, from more than 20 companies in the early days to hundreds competing today, we have witnessed every leap in the industry. Nine years ago, when Krun first hosted the Standardization Committee event in Nanjing, the industry was still in its infancy; today's grand event is a testament to the rapid development of the industry.

We are deeply aware that the vigorous development of the industry is inseparable from the Standardization Committee's persistent efforts. As the only official national industry standard organization, the Standardization Committee has provided support to the industry during difficult times. As a material supplier, Krun is also grateful for the trust of our customers. It is because of this support that we were able to fulfill our promise made at the 2019 Suzhou annual meeting—to achieve the domestic production of the entire perfluorinated ion membrane industry chain. Today, Fujian Krun has built the world's largest actual production base for sulfonic acid resin, becoming the only enterprise in the industry with an annual supply capacity of over one million square meters. This is both a milestone for Krun and a testament to the collective efforts of the industry chain. The Standardization Committee is the leading and coordinating organization for vanadium flow battery standards. The guests and experts present include our customers and our peers. We believe that cooperation and competition are essential for the industry to grow, resulting in greater success for all.

Those present today are either our partners or mentors in the industry. However, only through the coexistence of competition and cooperation can we achieve industry success. At this time of standard setting, I sincerely hope that all experts will embrace an open mind, be rigorous and inclusive, understand and support each other, and jointly promote the standardization, scaling, and industrialization of vanadium flow batteries, so that the name of every participant is engraved on the monument of industry development.

Finally, as the host, we would like to once again thank the Nanping municipal government for its strong support, and thank the Standardization Committee and all experts for attending. We hope the charm of Nanping leaves you with an unforgettable memory.
