On December 19, 2024, the 16th Entrepreneur's Summit, hosted by Dark Horse, was held in Beijing, where the list of "2024 Entrepreneur of the Year" was unveiled. Mr. Gangle Zhang, founder and chairman of Wuxi Holyview Microelectronics Co., Ltd., was honored as one of the "Top 10 Entrepreneurs of 2024" for his outstanding contributions to the safe, efficient, and intelligent development of China's civilian explosives industry. 

The Entrepreneur's Conference is one of the most influential entrepreneurial events in China, which has been successfully held for 16 years and attracted the participation of many entrepreneurial representatives, investment institutions, and industry leaders. Since 2012, Dark Horse has been selecting "Entrepreneur of the Year" every year, and the "Entrepreneur of the Year" is one of the most highly anticipated lists in the entrepreneurial field, which excels in discovering outstanding innovative enterprises and industry leaders, and guiding the direction of industry development. Zhang Yiming, founder of ByteDance, Wang Xing, founder of Meituan, and Huang Zheng, founder of Pinduoduo, among other entrepreneurs, have received this honor. 

The theme of this year's Dark Horse Conference is "AI New Era: Breaking Through to the Future." At the event, HOLYVIEW's founder and chairman, Gangle Zhang, delivered an opening speech titled "Creating 'China Chips' for the Civil Explosives Industry." 

Surrounding the development history and splendid growth of China's civil explosives industry electronic detonator and the growth history of HOLYVIEW, Gangle Zhang said in his speech:

The civil explosives industry is a very special industry, and the detonator is called the foundation of the foundation industry and the energy industry. In 2006, the Three Gorges Dam cofferdam blasting project used the advanced foreign electronic detonator ignition technology for the first time in China, which shocked the domestic civil explosives industry. At that time, the news media called it "the first blast in China."

This shocking news also made Gangle Zhang realize that his opportunity had come. At that time, he quickly clarified his research and development position: the civil explosives industry is the most proficient in chip technology, and the chip industry is the most proficient in blasting. He set a goal to make China have world-class, safe, reliable, and intelligent electronic detonator products.

At the beginning of the business, Gangle Zhang and HOLYVIEW chose a particularly difficult path of developing autonomous civil explosives chips based on the domestic industrial conditions. However, it was exactly this path that laid a solid foundation for Shengjingwei to become the leading enterprise in the domestic civil explosives industry for electronic detonator core control module. Today, HOLYVIEW has sold more than 500 million electronic detonator core control modules. 

The founder and chairman of HOLYVIEW, Gangle Zhang, particularly mentioned: "Our industry is an industry of conscience. Even a normal safety accident in production can involve the lives of others. Therefore, every product we produce involves the lives and family happiness of others. We must strive to be safer, smarter, and more economical."

After more than a decade of ups and downs, HOLYVIEW, together with many industry peers, has made remarkable achievements in the field of electronic detonator chips for the civilian explosives industry under the help and policy support of the state. Its role in promoting social and economic development has been significant! Safer, smarter, and more economical products have been launched and continuously upgraded, with industrial electronic detonators having been fully replaced by non-electronic detonators in China.

Now, HOLYVIEW has complete intellectual property rights for its core control module and detonation system for electronic detonators, and has successfully launched its global strategic layout in overseas markets. 

Looking ahead, HOLYVIEW will continue to develop more secure, reliable, and intelligent products, leveraging its core technologies to continuously explore the full industrial chain life cycle traceability, wireless technology, intelligent mining, and geological exploration, empowering industry beneficial progress and promoting the prosperity of the country and society.
