On December 4th, the national finals of the new energy, electrical vehicles, and energy-saving and environmental protection categories of the 14th China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition concluded successfully in Changsha. This national competition featured 169 shortlisted companies, all of whom were “top performers” selected from enterprises across 36 regional competitions nationwide. After intense competition through the semi-finals and finals, Mr. Wang Chitang, co-founder and Product Director of Reliance, led the company to stand out at the national finals. This achievement was powered by its leading technological prowess and deep talent pool.
The Jiangsu delegation at the national competition comprised top projects selected from the 13th “Venture Jiangsu” Technology Entrepreneurship Competition. Starting in May, the provincial contest attracted 5,905 participating teams and enterprises. Following rigorous screenings across 13 regional rounds, 526 projects advanced to the provincial industry finals, where 60 finalists competed for the top honors. At the provincial finals, the company, with its leading comprehensive strength, continued to earn high recognition from the on-site judging experts, ultimately securing second prize with the second-highest overall score and advancing to the national industry competition held in Changsha on December 3–4.
From early summer to deep winter, this year’s 13th “Venture Jiangsu” Technology Entrepreneurship Competition and the 14th China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition brought together innovative forces and outstanding projects from all over the country, with each round of competition being exceptionally fierce. Reliance’s ultimate achievement of this honor in a national high-level competition fully demonstrates the company’s solid accumulation and significant advantages in various aspects, including new energy technology R&D, talent resources, product innovation, and market applications.
The rapid development of Reliance stems from its choice of a technological path centered on underlying structural innovation. The company’s focus on tabless large cylindrical batteries involves systematically enhancing performance by reconstructing the internal physical structure of the battery. The key technological breakthrough lies in significantly increasing current conduction area and efficiency by eliminating traditional tabs. This fundamental change has led to simultaneous optimization of charging speed, cycle life, and safety, resulting in product characteristics that balance high energy density with high reliability. It is precisely this balanced performance matrix that extends its application scenarios to emerging fields such as humanoid robots, eVTOL, and heavy engineering machinery.
Reliance is committed to becoming a leader in driving industry progress through underlying structural innovation. We will continue to deepen the tabless technology platform, expand our product matrix, and provide customized energy solutions for broader scenarios. By building a global R&D, manufacturing, and service system, we aim to jointly define the power standards for next-generation high-end equipment with our partners, empowering the intelligent and green transformation of global industries with more efficient and reliable energy. On this path, we will move forward with unwavering focus and excellence.
