In 2024, the macro environment is becoming more complex, domestic competition is fierce, and the path to going global is fraught with more challenges. The road ahead is rugged, but there are no boundaries for the entrepreneurial journey. “Crossing the Alps—No Boundaries for the Traveler.” The 2024 China Entrepreneur 100 Future Unicorn Conference and China Entrepreneur Annual Meeting pay tribute to entrepreneurs who forge ahead in the snowstorm, as scheduled.

Since 2009, the China Entrepreneur 100 Future Unicorn Conference has been held continuously for 15 years. Outstanding listed companies, unicorn companies, future unicorns, investment institutions, government representatives, and academic figures gather at the end of the year to support and move forward together. In this era where opportunities and challenges are intertwined, like Hannibal and Napoleon, one must cross the Alps to achieve subsequent victories!

At the conference, we will solemnly reveal and present the following awards: “Entrepreneur of the Year 2024,” “Newly-Minted Unicorn List & Unicorn Mentor 2024,” “China Entrepreneur 100 Future Unicorn List 2024,” and “Top 50 Hard Tech Innovators to Watch in 2024.” In today's primary market, where the growth rate is slowing and unicorn companies are becoming increasingly rare, we look forward to uncovering the growth stories of newly-minted unicorns, honoring the institutions that have nurtured unicorns, and working together with future unicorns and hard tech innovators to forge ahead.

Among them, the "China Entrepreneur 100 Future Unicorn List" has been selected continuously for 15 years, covering a total of 1,174 companies (after de-duplication). For the companies on the list in 2023: the average years since establishment is 5.8 years, with an average valuation of 2.798 billion yuan and a total valuation of 279.77 billion yuan; the top three industry tracks are smart manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and automotive transportation; the average employee growth rate over the past three years is 72.5%, with 40 companies achieving revenue growth of over 100%; the latest financing rounds are mainly concentrated in Series A and Series B, with an average total historical financing of 510 million yuan, and 66 companies obtained new financing in the same year.

The conference will be held on December 19-20 in Chengdu (Fairmont Hotel at Palm Springs). We have invited guests from venture capital, industry, research, and government to share experiences, discuss, and connect for collaboration. The list of speakers is being revealed gradually.
