On the afternoon of November 2, 2025, the 2025 Annual Conference of the Ship & Marine Equipment Design Selection VR Encyclopedia Promotion Association (referred to as the "Promotion Association") was successfully held at the Shanghai Yuanxiang Lake—Qiaoshan Health & Culture Center. The conference was hosted by Tianhai Integration of Defense Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Tianhai Defense"), co-organized by the Tianhai Defense Science, Innovation & Technology Center and Haigongren, and supported by the Shanghai Society of Naval Architects & Marine Engineers (SSNAME).
The annual conference was presided over by Chen Xunwei, Deputy Secretary-General of the Promotion Association and Founder of Haigongren. In his opening remarks, he pointed out that the ship and marine equipment industry in 2025 faces both external challenges such as the "China-US Trade War and Tariff Disputes" and strong empowerment from national policies. The 20th Central Committee's Fourth Plenary Session explicitly stated in the "15th Five-Year" development plan the need to "optimize and upgrade traditional industries, promote the quality improvement and upgrading of industries such as shipbuilding, and advance the digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing." This has injected confidence and momentum for the industry to break through bottlenecks and achieve high-quality development, making the future prospects of the industry promising.
Chu Renqian, Chairman of Shanghai Yonzoe Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., delivered a speech and shared practical experiences as a member representative, discussing the company's technological application achievements and cooperation experiences in the shipbuilding sector. Through resource connections facilitated by the Promotion Association platform, the company successfully supplied radar equipment for the "nation's first 18,000-ton inland river methanol-electric hybrid multi-purpose vessel"—the Jiangxi Jiujiang project. "Finding the right organization, doing the right things, and getting things done" are key to achieving breakthroughs in industry competition. Under the guidance and services of the Promotion Association, companies gain access to broader resource channels and enjoy higher efficiency in connecting for cooperation. The company expressed full confidence in its future development and looks forward to deepening cooperation and achieving mutual success with the Promotion Association and other member units.
The Promotion Association serves not only as a bridge for industry information exchange but also as a significant catalyst for driving innovation and development in the ship and marine equipment industry. It provides solid support for building a multi-win development landscape among enterprises. It is believed that under the leadership of the Promotion Association and through the joint efforts of its member units, new breakthroughs will be brought to the development of the ship and marine equipment industry, helping it reach new heights.
