In creative workshops, young designers are reshaping traditional printing with digital technology; by experimental fields, agricultural experts are nurturing wheat with scientific prowess; in R&D centers, research teams are breaking foreign monopolies through innovation... From July 1 to July 4, the 2025 first-phase "Youth Leading the Charge in Pioneering New Frontiers" media tour, themed "Youth Power Fueling New Momentum in the Private Economy," was organized by the Provincial Youth League Committee. A delegation of over 40 members—including journalists from central, provincial, and municipal mainstream media, young online influencers, and writers—visited Jinan, Binzhou, and Dongying to deeply explore, document, and showcase stories of young people driving industrial transformation and advancement, as well as scaling up and breaking barriers in sectors like next-generation information technology, high-end equipment, and new energy materials.
Breaking New Ground: From "Traditional Foundations" to "New Momentum"
At the Jinan Shijikaiyuan Cultural and Creative Industrial Park, a dazzling array of personalized custom products captures the eye: from anime merchandise beloved by young consumers to creative campus-themed items, brand-exclusive poker sets, and stylish, practical custom tote bags—all reflecting the consumption trends of today's youth.
In this vibrant creative space, a team of designers with an average age of just 28 is injecting new energy and possibilities into the traditional printing industry with their imaginative ideas, transforming the business from a neighborhood photo shop into a leading "industrial internet" printing enterprise. Today, Shijikaiyuan Zhiyin Internet Technology Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Shijikaiyuan") handles over 50,000 design orders daily, with annual order deliveries exceeding 10 million.
Since its founding in 2003, Binzhou Zhongyu Food Co., Ltd. has established several scientific research platforms, including the National Key Laboratory of Wheat Processing, and brought in world-class research teams to build the longest and most comprehensive wheat industry chain in the country. Among them, Li Hengzhao led the breeding of the "Yutianmai 126," with key indicators such as protein content and dough stability time surpassing those of imported varieties.
"Breeding is a race against time. As the starting point of this circular industrial chain, we are crucial to the supply of subsequent wheat processing and must devote ourselves fully. Young talent brings innovative vitality to the enterprise, leveraging their professional knowledge and rich imagination to refine industrial development and maximize the value of wheat," said Li Hengzhao.
Upgrading equipment, modernizing production lines, and making manufacturing smarter and more efficient—with the infusion of youthful energy, young people are driving the transformation of traditional private industries toward new growth.
Technological Innovation: From "Following" to "Leading"
At Shandong Linuo Ritter New Energy Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Linuo Ritter"), rows of robotic arms connected by black cables operate seamlessly on fully automated production lines, executing complex processes with precision, while AGVs shuttle effortlessly to deliver materials accurately.
"This is our 'lights-out factory,' the first in the industry to adopt AI self-learning detection systems for panel cores, glass installation, and overall appearance, capable of identifying defects as small as 0.01mm with a yield rate of 99.95%. It significantly enhances production efficiency and product quality while reducing costs and labor demands," explained Zhang Chunjie, General Manager of Linuo Ritter.
