Dean Fu delivered a keynote lecture entitled "Driving Innovative Transformation with Industry Funds". He summed up the current situation of the global economy and talked about the significance of the establishment of industry funds by China Resources and their future development directions. He pointed out that setting up the industry funds is an important move by the Group to drive transformation and innovation and that by adding capital to the industry, the industry funds acted as the Group's double engines during the period of the 13th FYP. Their forward-looking and cross-industry capabilities matched China Resources' requirement to beat the competition through transformation. China Resources' industrial edge, management strength and excellent reputation mean it will be in a good position to establish industry funds. That also means that China Resources is ahead in the "fund-raising, investment, management and exit" cycle of industry funds. Dean Fu emphasized that the development of China Resources' fund business is a process of bringing in intelligence, system innovation and incentives and constraints, and that support is needed for talent and intellect. The key focus is to cultivate investment managers who have potential into investment managers of industry funds through China Resources University' innovation-focused education. He believes China Resources' industry funds are set to grow stronger and bigger. They will expand alongside the Group's industrial development and promote its long-term growth.

When talking about the innovation competition held by China Resources University, Dean Fu said the participation of China Resources managers' in the innovation competition and actively getting involved in the innovation process under the guidance of an open venture capital fund platform is a good model for China Resources’ employees to practice the principle of "Plenty of entrepreneurs, and even more innovators". By setting up the platform, China Resources can help cultivate an innovative spirit, accumulate experience in innovating, and improve China Resources managers' courage in and enthusiasm for innovation.
