On April 27, 2024, a delegation of provincial, municipal, and district leaders—including representatives from the Provincial Productivity Promotion Center, the Changzhou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, and the Zhonglou District Government—visited Longye Technology. They conducted an inspection and research visit to assess Longye Technology, which has been recognized as a Potential Unicorn Enterprise in Jiangsu Province, and provided guidance on related initiatives. 。

Longye Technology is a high-tech enterprise specializing in energy-saving and environmental protection, with proprietary intellectual property rights and focusing primarily on waste heat recovery and utilization technologies for coke oven raw gas. In 2023, the company was recognized as a Jiangsu Potential Unicorn Enterprise. In 2020, our technology—“a coke oven riser heat recovery system featuring nano‑self‑cleaning coated heat exchange equipment”—was evaluated by an expert panel led by Academician Yin Ruiyu and organized by the Chinese Society for Metals, achieving an “internationally leading” level of performance. Since 2015, we have successively established strategic partnerships and industry–university–research collaboration bases with MCC Jiaonai Engineering Technology Co., Ltd., Southeast University, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Jiangsu University of Technology, and the Changzhou Industrial Technology Research Institute of Zhejiang University. Drawing on the experience gained through long-term research collaborations with these universities and research institutes, we are currently in the process of setting up a joint-stock research institute. At present, the company holds 17 authorized invention patents and 47 utility model patents.

Zhao Zhiqiang, Director of the Provincial Productivity Promotion Center, visited the production workshop of Jiangsu Longye Energy‑Saving Technology Co., Ltd. to gain first-hand insights, thoroughly inquiring about the company’s production technologies and equipment. Chairman Meng Xiaodong provided a detailed briefing to the research team on the company’s core products, its current development status, R&D capabilities, R&D management system, as well as its needs for scientific and technological expertise and talent. Zhao Zhiqiang emphasized that prioritizing the cultivation of unicorn enterprises is a critical response to the pressing need to accelerate the establishment of a modern industrial system. He urged science and technology authorities at all levels to strengthen the development of innovative enterprises, refine the tiered nurturing framework for unicorn companies, explore new fields and avenues for growth, and continuously foster new drivers and competitive advantages, thereby making fresh and greater contributions to speeding up high‑level scientific and technological self‑reliance and the building of a province strong in science and technology.
