On April 25–26, the 25th LiuGong Technology Innovation Conference, themed "Pursuing Newness and Quality, Striving to Build Dreams," was held at the LiuGong Global R&D Center. The conference reviewed LiuGong's product and technology innovation achievements over the past year and, focusing on high-end, intelligent, and green development, discussed new paths and new futures for the high-quality development of the construction machinery industry.

During the expert report session held on the 25th, several university professors and industry experts shared cutting-edge research results, further enhancing industry-university-research exchange and cooperation and providing valuable ideas for LiuGong's transformation and upgrading. Among them, Zhang Bin, a professor at Zhejiang University, introduced key technologies for intelligent and electrified construction machinery, including electro-hydraulic drive components, energy management, general-purpose and specialized integrated large models, intelligent operation and maintenance, and fault diagnosis; Yang Xiaoguang, a professor at Beijing Institute of Technology, elaborated on the challenges and solutions facing the engineering application of power batteries; and Yao Jianyong, a professor at Nanjing University of Science and Technology, provided an in-depth analysis of key control technologies for the robotization of construction machinery and offered professional recommendations for industry applications.

At the conference on the 26th, Zhu Binqiang, Vice President of LiuGong Stock, delivered a work report on LiuGong's product and technology innovation to the attendees. He stated that the improvement of LiuGong's product competitiveness must rely on all-round innovation driven by products, technology, and management. In terms of products, LiuGong's product portfolio is developing toward larger models and has formed a comprehensive open-pit mining solution featuring product combinations as an advantage, capable of meeting 95% of working conditions worldwide. In terms of technology, LiuGong has carried out more than 110 technology research projects over the past three years, covering nine major fields including electric, ICT, unmanned driving, and smart operations, and has built a highly intelligent digital construction system. In terms of management, LiuGong has built a four-in-one global R&D system that coordinates societies, leads talent, integrates information, and standardizes parts, forming a long-term management model.

Zeng Guang'an, Party Secretary, Chairman, and CEO of LiuGong Stock, delivered a keynote speech titled "Building a Global High-Value Brand" on site. He pointed out that the global construction machinery industry landscape is changing rapidly and market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, but LiuGong's path toward global development remains unwavering, and its goal of building a high-quality, high-value brand will never waver. In the face of industry cycles, LiuGong has continued to achieve profit growth, scale growth, and capability growth through reform and innovation. Zeng Guang'an emphasized: "We must leverage the competitive advantages of LiuGong's 'Three Alls and One Integration' strategy and the 'Four Unifications' and 'Four Highs' R&D system, and keep in mind the three 'always adhere tos,' namely always adhering to Party leadership, always adhering to customer-oriented technological innovation, and always adhering to building an excellent workforce, so as to keep LiuGong's destiny firmly in the hands of LiuGong people!"

At present, the wave of artificial intelligence is sweeping the globe, and LiuGong is actively seizing opportunities and taking initiative. The conference officially released the "LiuGong Brain—LiuGong Large Model Application Platform." Based on LiuGong's deep accumulation and fine-tuned training with 194TB of connected vehicle data, "LiuGong Brain" creates a super-intelligent "innovation incubation base" capable of rapidly spawning various vertical-domain large model applications, providing all-round support for product innovation, production management, customer service, and other links, and building an intelligent ecosystem.

The conference also commended 55 outstanding knowledge achievements, 39 outstanding innovation projects, 275 individuals including outstanding technical talent, project managers, and R&D directors, as well as other outstanding innovation achievements.
