I am deeply honored to have been invited by the Cartier Women’s Initiative to share my entrepreneurial journey. This year, Cartier has selected 30 remarkable women entrepreneurs from China, each representing diverse industries and addressing 17 critical areas identified by the UN, such as affordable renewable energy, poverty alleviation, recycling, plant protection, clean water, and more.

It has been profoundly moving to meet so many inspiring women entrepreneurs and hear their incredible stories. To my delight, many of the new participants expressed interest in purchasing our Alily solar backpacks after my presentation. It was an incredibly joyful and exciting day!

I am immensely grateful to Cartier for this wonderful opportunity to share my story and for the overwhelming encouragement and warmth I received from these powerful and inspiring women. Thank you!
