en.Wedoany.com Reported - From May 7 to 9, 2026, the "AI Empowerment · Channel Soul Building Industry — New Generation Youth Innovation Breakthrough Camp for the Coated Abrasives Industry," hosted by the Coated Abrasives Branch of the China Machine Tool & Tool Builders' Association, was held in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Nearly 50 young backbone employees, new-generation executives, and entrepreneurial elites from upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry participated in the three-day learning and exchange event.
At the opening ceremony on the morning of May 7, Li Yonggang, Chairman of the Coated Abrasives Branch; Lei Tianli, Secretary-General; Chen Yuandong, Executive Deputy Secretary-General; and Wang Mingyuan, former Senior Advisor, attended. In his address, Wang Mingyuan encouraged young campers to keep pace with the digital development trend of artificial intelligence, deepen their core business, learn from each other, and leverage innovation vitality to drive enterprise management upgrades and facilitate industry transformation.
On the first day, icebreaker games brought campers closer together. Each group conceived team names and slogans such as "Spark Team," "Grinding Innovation Group," "Grinding the World," and "Lingyun Smart Grinding Team." The training closely revolved around the core theme of AI empowering management improvement in small and medium-sized enterprises, adopting a practical teaching approach. Campers learned techniques for writing AI prompt words on-site, combined with enterprise production scenarios, using intelligent tools to create equipment inspection checklists, write 8D quality improvement reports, identify on-site safety hazards, and formulate rectification plans.
The course on May 8 focused on cultivating managerial capabilities, centering on decision-making and execution. A "10-second extreme applause" competition allowed campers to experience breaking self-imposed limits. Combined with critical discussions on typical workplace cases, it guided campers to step out of thinking traps and shift from focusing on external environments to concentrating on self-improvement. During the practical discussion session, campers used the 5Whys analysis method to explore solutions to real industry problems, such as material delivery errors, operational safety accidents, equipment installation delays, and difficulties in training new employees. At the end of the course, each group formed a "531 Learning Plan," clarifying learning gains and actionable steps.
During the study period, a "Youth Innovation Starlight Night" welcome banquet was arranged, featuring cultural activities and AI-themed interactive games. Throughout the event, all campers jointly signed the "Coated Abrasives Industry New Generation Entrepreneur Alliance Initiation Convention." The alliance aims to pass on the industry's legacy, drive industry upgrades, and jointly build Chinese brands. It provides a communication platform for young elites under 45 in the industry, sharing policy, technology, and market information through a dedicated community. On-site, campers were awarded completion certificates, and honorary certificates were presented to outstanding groups.
On the morning of May 9, all campers traveled to Linzhou City, Anyang, Henan Province, to conduct red study activities at the Red Flag Canal Memorial Hall and the Youth Cave. In his concluding remarks, Secretary-General Lei Tianli expressed hope that young practitioners would combine cutting-edge digital technology, modern management concepts, and the practical spirit of the Red Flag Canal to diligently grow and strengthen their respective enterprises.
