"Duel for Gold 2025" is a program created by Hunan TV that focuses on contemporary college students' entrepreneurial endeavors. The program selects the most promising "golden seed" projects from six major entrepreneurial tracks: artificial intelligence, biomedicine, cultural technology, advanced manufacturing, aerospace and low-altitude economy, and energy conservation and environmental protection. It invites renowned entrepreneurs and financial investment institutions to jointly discover and select a group of college student entrepreneurs, promoting the implementation of high-quality projects.
In the program, Guo Yanrui, Chairman of SonnePower, leveraged his rich entrepreneurial experience and profound industry insights to provide in-depth analysis and guidance on the practical issues raised by the contestants. These issues addressed key points of entrepreneurship, helping the contestants better understand the strengths and weaknesses of their projects and guiding them to think about how to enhance their market competitiveness.
SonnePower was founded by Chairman Guo Yanrui in 2007 while he was a graduate student at Central South University. The company started as a "college student entrepreneurship" initiative, relying on the entrepreneurial support and policy incentives from Central South University. In its early days, the company received venue subsidies and 200,000 yuan in science and technology plan support from Changsha. Throughout its development, whether in policy consultation, market expansion, or technological innovation, the government has provided significant assistance to SonnePower. This support has allowed the company to focus on technological research and product innovation, enabling it to stand out in the fiercely competitive market.
After years of hard work and development, SonnePower has not only achieved remarkable success in technological innovation but has also earned numerous national and provincial honors, such as the "Changsha Enterprise Technology Center," "Hunan Provincial Enterprise Technology Center," and the title of "National Specialized, Sophisticated, and Innovative 'Little Giant' Enterprise." SonnePower is also the only engineering machinery-specific controller engineering technology research center officially recognized in Hunan Province. The company's output value has grown from a few hundred thousand yuan to over 100 million yuan, with mobile controllers, displays, and other products being exported to domestic and international markets.
As a professional manufacturer of engineering machinery controllers, displays, I/O modules, and CAN bus control panels, SonnePower is committed to providing global customers with high-quality, highly reliable electronic control system solutions. The company's products are widely used in engineering machinery, port machinery, mining machinery, firefighting vehicles, and other fields, earning the trust of customers both at home and abroad. SonnePower's controllers are renowned for their high protection rating, high integration, and fast response speed, while its displays feature high resolution, touch design, and intelligent diagnostic functions, offering customers a more convenient and efficient operating experience.
Talent revitalizes Hunan! Intelligence empowers Hunan! In recent years, with the joint efforts of the government and society, the vision of "sowing golden seeds, with talent blossoming across Hunan" is gradually becoming a reality. The growth story of SonnePower is a vivid example of this dream coming true. Chairman Guo Yanrui's participation in "Duel for Gold 2025" not only affirms his personal achievements but also serves as a positive response to the policies promoting college student innovation and entrepreneurship in Hunan Province and across the nation. Let us look forward to more "golden seeds" taking root and blooming into a colorful array of talent on the land of Hunan in the future!
