Statement of Purpose to Join the Forum (max. 200 words)

As the founder of Thero, a Shenzhen-based startup dedicated to phase-change material (PCM) innovation, I am driven by a mission to transform thermal energy management in global logistics and cold chain systems. Over three years, our team has developed scalable PCM solutions that reduce energy consumption in refrigerated transport by 30% and cut operational costs for cold storage facilities, addressing both economic inefficiencies and environmental impacts.

I seek to participate in the 2025 Hong Kong Laureate Forum to bridge scientific research and industrial application. By engaging with world-leading scientists and innovators, I aim to deepen my understanding of advanced material science and sustainable engineering practices, while sharing our on-ground insights from pilot projects across Asia’s logistics hubs. The forum’s interdisciplinary focus aligns with Thero’s vision: integrating cutting-edge science into practical, climate-positive technologies.

This platform will catalyze collaborations to accelerate PCM adoption in emerging markets, ultimately contributing to global carbon neutrality goals. I am eager to learn, exchange ideas, and explore partnerships that amplify the role of material innovation in building a resilient, energy-efficient future.
