Most of the entries have been applied in the later production. Groups of young employees have emerged from the youth innovation competition platform and grown into innovative technology backbones, laying a solid foundation for Chery to establish an efficient technological innovation system.
Some people in the industry believe that Chery’s ability to maintain a trend of rising despite the complex and changeable external environment and the overall pressure on the Chinese auto market is due to its “savvy” for innovation and technology, and its adherence to the original intention and system capacity building. And Chery’s innovation lies not only in investing large sums of money in technological R&D and innovation every year, but also in building a global R&D system and activating innovation in laboratories or engineers, but also in inspiring the innovation of every Chery employee through the innovation culture rooted in the grassroots. Fighting spirit, let every grassroots employee, especially young employees, become an innovation “igniter” and can light up the “micro-spark” of innovation. It is precisely because of the “micro-sparks” that the prairie fires have formed industry-leading technologies, and more and more Chinese brands like Chery have been able to open up a broad market and burst out with strong creativity.
