Reliance New Energy caps off a landmark year with a significant achievement: designation as a Jiangsu Provincial High-Tech Enterprise. This recognition adds to a series of recent honors, including the National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition second prize, provincial “Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative” enterprise status, and an Outstanding Award in the National Unicorn Enterprise Finals. The certification, based on the company’s robust innovation capabilities, leading core technologies, and efficient commercialization system, marks its official entry into the national high-tech enterprise ranks and provides a powerful conclusion to 2025. Behind every piece of good news lies the inevitable result of Reliance’s deep commitment to innovation and long-term accumulation. This certification not only marks Reliance’s official entry into the ranks of national high-tech enterprises and authoritative recognition of its innovation and development level but also adds a significant highlight to the list of achievements this fruitful month, making 2025 a perfect and remarkable conclusion to the year.
The High-Tech Enterprise certification is a stringent, comprehensive assessment of a company’s scientific and technological prowess, evaluating criteria including proprietary IP, R&D investment intensity, innovation team quality, and ability to commercialize technological achievements. Since its establishment in Changzhou at the end of 2022, Reliance has consistently prioritized technological breakthroughs as its core driving force, precisely meeting the requirements of high-tech enterprise evaluation and forging a path of deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application.
In terms of core technologies and intellectual property, Reliance focuses on the field of high-rate, high-energy-density, tabless large cylindrical batteries, building a “high-quality IP moat.” To date, it has applied for over 300 patents, with 17 invention patents and 33 utility model patents authorized, covering key technologies such as dual-network binders, high-performance separators, and ultra-high-nickel cathode materials. This has formed a completely independent intellectual property system, continuously strengthening the technological barriers.
R&D teams and investment are the core pillars of innovation. Reliance has established a top-tier R&D team led by nine Ph.D. graduates from leading domestic and international institutions, collaborating with engineering experts from top Japanese enterprises to build a full-process R&D system from conceptual design to mass production. At the same time, Reliance continues to increase R&D investment, delving into cutting-edge fields, and achieving breakthroughs in product performance such as ultra-high rates, super-fast charging, ultra-high energy density, ultra-wide temperature ranges, and ultra-long cycle life, with related technical parameters reaching international top levels.
In the field of achievements transformation, Reliance has already made headlines: in March 2025, it announced the world’s first mass production of the tabless RS50 battery cell at the China International Hardware Expo in Shanghai; in May 2025, it globally launched the tabless RS60/RH60 battery cells at the China International Battery Technology Exhibition (CIBF2025) in Shenzhen, successfully establishing strategic partnerships with industry-leading companies such as Dayi Technology and Hikvision Robotics, efficiently achieving rapid transformation from technological R&D to industrial application.
The successful certification as a high-tech enterprise not only serves as authoritative recognition of Reliance’s past innovative achievements but also amplifies the recent series of good news, injecting strong momentum into Reliance’s development. In the future, Reliance will seize this opportunity to continue deepening its efforts in the new energy field, empowering industrial upgrading with stronger innovation momentum and contributing more to the development of green energy.
