On September 17th, at the 2025 World Energy Storage Conference, Zeng Yuqun, founder and chairman of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), addressed challenges facing the energy storage industry, stating: "Technological homogenization has become apparent in the energy storage sector. Driven by capital, many companies choose to take shortcuts, preferring to copy and imitate rather than pursue independent research and development. Innovation requires significant investment, but the question is: if everyone wants to take shortcuts, who will drive innovation?"
