Over 1,000 Entrepreneurs Gather in Kunming for TOJOY 2026 "Jun's Circle" Fireside Chat

Spotlighting the AI Wave and Exploring Paths Forward for Private Enterprises

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 29 September 2026 - The second "Jun's Circle" Fireside Chat, initiated by Ge Jun, an Academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences and Chairman and CEO of TOJOY Shared Smart Enterprise Services Co., Ltd. ("TOJOY"), was recently held on the shores of Dianchi Lake in Kunming. The event was livestreamed simultaneously on Xinhuanet, TOJOY Boss Cloud and other platforms, drawing more than 3.1 million cumulative views online. Online and in-person audiences together took part in an in-depth exchange of ideas, creating an experience in which they were "surrounded by ideas."

In 2025, the inaugural "Jun's Circle" Fireside Chat debuted in Hangzhou. Its core proposition — "With vision, break the impasse and build a new landscape" — resonated widely across China's private sector. On 22 September, the 2026 event came to Kunming, a frontier hub for China's opening-up to South and Southeast Asia. It directly addressed the central concerns of private enterprises amid AI-driven technological change, the reconfiguration of the overseas expansion landscape and economic-cycle adjustments, helping entrepreneurs clarify their direction and strengthen confidence.

Blueprint for Private-Enterprise Transformation under AI Technological Disruption

Addressing business development amid the AI wave, Ge Jun systematically presented the "Five-Layer Tree Theory" for enterprise AI transformation. Covering the accumulation of data assets, upgrades in entrepreneurs' cognitive capabilities, workforce-wide capability building, forward-looking strategic planning and symbiosis across industry ecosystems, it provides private enterprises with a comprehensive implementation framework for AI transformation.

Drawing on Kunming's geographic advantages, the dialogue explored a long-term approach to expansion into ASEAN markets. Ge Jun proposed an "In ASEAN, With ASEAN, For ASEAN" development philosophy, stressing that sustainable overseas growth can only be achieved by establishing deeply rooted local operations, building symbiotic partnerships with local industries and creating social value for local communities. Manuel C. Menendez III, founder and CEO of MCM Group Holdings Ltd. and an expert on international economic and trade issues, drew on frontline experience to stress that managing compliance risk is a fundamental prerequisite for survival for companies expanding overseas. He noted that resource-constrained small and medium-sized private enterprises can leverage professional platforms to pool resources when expanding overseas, advance localization step by step and avoid the risks of going it alone.

The Critical Role of Entrepreneurship and Long-Termism

Turning to the question of how to navigate economic cycles, the dialogue returned to the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, exploring the underlying forces that enable businesses to weather volatility. Xue Jingxia, Chairwoman of the Henan-based investment and construction group, KONITA GROUP, and a deputy to the National People's Congress for four consecutive terms, said, drawing on four decades of hands-on business experience, that there are no shortcuts to navigating cycles: it takes the creativity to build something from nothing and the resolve to hold firmly to one's principles. Ge Jun added that entrepreneurs in the AI era need to strengthen their learning capabilities across four dimensions—questioning, command, staying power and transmission—to respond to a rapidly changing market environment, remain committed to doing what is difficult but right, and navigate cyclical ups and downs with a long-term mindset.

As one of the flagship programs in Ge Jun's four-part thought-leadership series for empowering private enterprises, this year's "Jun's Circle" Fireside Chat used a systematic framework of ideas to address the widespread concerns of today's private entrepreneurs.

TOKYO, JAPAN – EQS Newswire – 29 September 2026 – On September 28 2026, iMotion Technology (01274.HK) officially established its Japanese branch in Shinagawa, Tokyo. After the establishment of the Europe R＆D Center (Munich, Germany) and the Malaysia Manufacturing Plant, this marks another key step in iMotion's global expansion strategy and will help the company connect with and more deeply integrated into the global automotive supply chain.

iMotion Technology Establishes Japan Branch, systematically accelerating Overseas Expansion

Based on its established presence, iMotion's products and solutions have followed its customers and been deployed across regions and countries including Europe, Southeast Asia, South Korea and Japan. This has enabled iMotion to accumulate extensive on-the-ground experience in overseas applications and develop strong localized service capabilities.

In the first half of 2026, iMotion for the first time obtained nominated projects from a customer in the Taiwan region of China and an overseas direct-supply customer, marking significant breakthroughs in both customer coverage and overseas expansion. With the establishment in Tokyo, iMotion's Japanese Branch will serve as a bridge between Japan and iMotion in relevant business, expanding long-term business cooperation with Japanese OEM and strengthen iMotion's global brand presence.

From product expansion to system globalization, iMotion is rapidly building an end-to-end global delivery system. iMotion's joint venture in Malaysia has completed trial production and is currently undergoing the final customer audit process. It is expected to commence full-scale production and mass deliveries to customers in the third quarter of 2026.

Looking ahead, iMotion plans to continue strengthening its global sales and service network.
