On September 4, 2026, the inaugural meeting of the Young Entrepreneurs Branch of the Ningbo Science and Technology Innovation Association, themed “New Opportunities for Going Global · New Strength in Succession,” was officially held at Ningbo AOKE Office Equipment Co., Ltd.

At a time when the global industrial landscape is undergoing profound transformation, a new generation of young entrepreneurs is rapidly stepping onto center stage. With broader global perspectives and a strong focus on technological innovation, digital transformation, and global responsiveness, they are driving business succession and industrial evolution with new ways of thinking.

Globalization 2.0: From “Product Export” to “Systematic Global Services”

Overseas investment and manufacturing, localized operations, supply chain resilience, compliance and risk management, and global service capabilities have become unavoidable priorities for companies pursuing international growth.

Addressing the differentiated needs of various regional markets, Wang Gang, Marketing and Sales Director of Yande International Group and an expert in overseas investment and manufacturing in Southeast Asia, engaged in face-to-face discussions with young entrepreneurs, sharing practical insights into compliant global expansion and strategic market development in Southeast Asia.

Building Global Reach on Strong Foundations: Manufacturing Strength as the Core Foundation of Brand Globalization

As a high-tech enterprise specializing in ergonomic solutions, AOKE focuses on intelligent height-adjustable solutions with linear motion technology at its core. Its product portfolio covers electric height-adjustable desks, lifting columns, smart study desks, and full-process manufacturing services across the industry chain.

From AOKE's perspective, product competitiveness is ultimately rooted in the depth of technological capabilities and manufacturing strength.

· Intelligent Manufacturing Foundation: Across a modern manufacturing base covering approximately 70,000 square meters, robotic welding, laser cutting, and automated powder coating lines enable standardized production processes from raw material processing to complete desk assembly.

· Global Network Collaboration: To enhance global responsiveness, the company has established six business and service hubs in Ningbo, Foshan, the Netherlands, Thailand, Malaysia, and Dubai, completing a strategic transition from “single-point export” to a coordinated global service network.

New Thinking from the Next Generation: AI, Global Expansion, and Ecosystem Collaboration

As a young entrepreneur who graduated from the University of Southern California and previously worked for leading global technology companies, AOKE's next-generation leader, Sam Ruan, has integrated international product thinking, rigorous quality standards, and advanced management concepts deeply into the real economy.

During the sharing session, he presented three key perspectives on how a new generation of manufacturing enterprises can achieve breakthroughs:

1. Embrace Technology: Make AI a Productivity Tool for Industry

AOKE has established a digital R&D laboratory and an innovation incubation department, encouraging the application of AI tools across every process and empowering every employee to integrate AI into their work.

2. GoGlobal: Replace Internal Competition with Quality

The advantages of a new generation of industry leaders lie in their international communication capabilities, broader global perspectives, and deeper understanding of overseas markets.

When facing the global marketplace, companies should move beyond traditional assumptions that international markets are difficult to enter. They should have both the confidence and capability to demonstrate their competitiveness on the global stage.

Compared with price-driven competition in the domestic market, upgrading product quality and enhancing brand value represent the inevitable path for “Ningbo Intelligent Manufacturing” to achieve a higher level of global development.

3. Ecosystem Sharing: Building Bridges Between Local Industry and Global Innovation

Actively collaborate with universities and research institutions to advance joint research on key technologies, regularly share experiences in digital transformation, and build bridges connecting cutting-edge overseas technology resources with local enterprises.

Ecosystem Connection: A New Generation Driving Industrial Transformation

From experience-driven development to technology-driven innovation, and from a local perspective to a global vision, a new generation of young entrepreneurs is becoming a key force in driving traditional manufacturing toward intelligent manufacturing.

They need to inherit the resilience and pragmatism accumulated by previous generations while also finding their own paths for breakthrough amid a new wave of globalization.

Through this visit to AOKE, young entrepreneurs exchanged ideas, shared resources, and explored new possibilities surrounding technology integration, business model innovation, and global development.

Rooted in Ningbo, Connected to the World.

Standing at the beginning of a new industrial cycle, AOKE will continue to deepen its expertise in ergonomics and linear motion technology. Supported by a solid foundation in intelligent manufacturing and systematic global service capabilities, the company will continue exploring the limitless possibilities of smart office solutions and healthy workspaces.

At the same time, AOKE looks forward to working alongside more outstanding enterprises and young entrepreneurs to embrace new opportunities in globalization and jointly create a new future for industrial development.
