Wang Pu Zhong said that technology as a driver is the fundamental solution to building a greener and more sustainable future. For scientific and technological achievements that may be transformed into landing demonstration projects that drive industrial progress, Meituan is willing to provide long-term support in various ways.

Provide "relay" long-term support for frontier exploration of scientific and technological innovation

The outstanding feature of the Tsingshan Science and Technology Award, "long-term incentive", is the support that young scientists long for.

"I am very happy to see more and more companies like Meituan are willing to invest in supporting scientific research, and this kind of relay support will help us a lot." A lot of things from the initial theory to the formation of a prototype,

and then to the formation of application patents can be transformed, it is the support of many forces to achieve." Said Yang Peng, a professor at Shaanxi Normal University and the winner.

Yang Peng's research is to cleverly design protein materials through protein amyloid aggregation, so that it can harmlessly adhere to the plant epidermis or the surface of synthetic materials, so as to play the role of adsorption, oil resistance,

antibacterial and so on. In the future, Yang Peng's research plan is to further apply protein materials to food preservation, green packaging, biomedicine and other industries. For example, the antibacterial and oil-resistant properties of the material are used to give yogurt boxes,

fruit and vegetable boxes, takeout lunch boxes and other packaging fresh-keeping, easy cleaning, and non-greasy functions. The material can also be used to make oil-resistant clothing and multifunctional coatings on the surface of biological medical instruments.

Zhao Yixin, another winner, is one of the earliest pioneers of perovskite photovoltaic research in China. He set up a perovskite photovoltaic research team in China to study the key chemical creation methods of perovskite photovoltaic material device manufacturing to achieve green,

controllable and stable manufacturing of perovskite photovoltaic. At the same time, Zhao Yixin's team is studying the preparation of all-perovskite photovoltaic modules with a larger area and higher efficiency, in order to break through the upper limit of photovoltaic efficiency of a single category and promote the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements.

The research direction of the laureates is a long-term plan for the future, which needs long-term sustained support. This is the original intention of the Aoyama Science and Technology Awards. "Meituan has the patience for long-term commitment and is willing to be a 'paving stone' for scientific research."

Wang Pu Zhong said that innovation will not be achieved overnight, and it needs long-term investment and patient cultivation. There is an old saying called "long-term patience",

Meituan will support Qingshan Science and Technology Award for a long time, support outstanding young scientists, so that they can devote themselves to scientific research without hesitation, and give play to greater innovation potential.

As early as 2017, Meituan launched the "Green Mountain Plan" to explore the key nodes of the green transformation of the industry, hoping to form an effective model covering the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and driving the co-governance of participants.

After the "carbon peak, carbon neutrality" and "3060 goal" were proposed, accelerating green and low-carbon transformation innovation has become a broad consensus.

At the beginning of 2021, Meituan invested 500 million yuan to set up the public welfare Qingshan Science and Technology Fund to fund the "Qingshan Science and Technology Award" and the "Environmental science and Technology Innovation Demonstration Project" to provide long-term support for scientific research and innovation in the green and low-carbon field.Top scientists gathered, Nobel Prize level project landed in Shanghai Minhang Big Zero Bay

On May 25, the two-day "2024 Green Ecological Innovation Conference" opened in Shanghai's Big Zero Bay Kechuang Building. More than 500 Chinese and foreign scientists and experts and scholars in the field of industry, university and research, including Nobel Prize winners and academicians, gathered together to seek green ecological innovation and development.

The conference was guided by the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission, the Municipal Science and Technology Association and the Minhang District Government, and co-sponsored by the Management Committee of the Big Zero Bay Science and Technology Innovation Policy Source Functional Area,

the World's Top Scientists Association (WLA, Chinese abbreviation "Top Science Association") and the Green Catalysis expert think tank, to "Ecological innovation: With the theme of "New Quality, Productivity and New Momentum",

academicians and experts of the two Chinese academies led the planning of six special conferences in three sub-forums of green carbon science, ecological environment science and biomedical science,

gathering the world's top green science and technology brains to contribute Chinese wisdom to promoting global ecological environment governance and green sustainable development.

At the opening ceremony, the signing ceremony of the first projects of the Green Catalysis expert think tank Science and Technology Innovation Base of the world's top Scientists Association was held in the "Big Zero Bay".
