In his remarks, Mr. Tang congratulated on the recipients of scholarships and grants while briefing the audience on the present condition and outlook of Sennics. He stressed the vital role of technology and innovation in the development of an enterprise. "Sennics always places bolstering technological innovation and R&D capacities at a prominent position, which requires not only greater investment in R&D but also the pooling of talents from colleges and the society without bias." He added that Sennics will continue to focus on technological innovation and pursue collaboration with universities, thus practicing green and sustainable development strategy and cultivating high-quality graduates with a strong sense of responsibility for the chemical industry and the society.
