On the afternoon of April 25, 2017, the Ernst & Young – Fudan 2017 Most Promising Chinese Enterprises Selection was officially launched at the School. Associate Dean of our School and Professor Changjiang LV, Professor Ruoshan LI, Professor Jianqiao HONG, Associate Professor Zhihan XU and Associate Professor Yuanpeng LI from the Department of Accounting, Greater China Managing Partner of Ernst & Young Mr. Philip Leung, Mr. Lawrence Lau, etc. attended the launch ceremony.

The Ernst & Young – Fudan Most Promising Chinese Enterprises Selection is intended to discover future leaders of China’s strategic industries in the early period of enterprise development. In the past few years, it successfully helped a number of new leading enterprises to make new progress. Seven years has passed since this activity was held for the first time. After 2011, the activity exerted extensive influence in the academic and industrial circles. Among the 104 enterprises that won awards in the past six years, 24 companies have been listed successfully and several enterprises are still in the IPO process.

Associate Dean Changjiang LV pointed out in his speech that under the current economic recession, enterprises should enhance their competitiveness and carry out innovation in technologies and business models. The School of Management began to carry out reform of undergraduate, master and Ph.D. programs in 2008, and supplied a lot of talents to enterprises and the state. “This time we continue to cooperate with Ernst & Young to look for the most promising Chinese enterprises and help these enterprises enhance their competitiveness.”

In the following forum, Professor Ruoshan LI and representatives of the enterprises that won awards in previous years carried out in-depth discussion on the issue of smart cities and enterprises’ development.

At the end of the project launch ceremony, all members of the project team for the Ernst & Young – Fudan 2017 Most Promising Chinese Enterprises Selection wished this activity a complete success.
