WUHAN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 September 2026 – On September 13, the inauguration ceremony of the Optics Valley International Communication Alliance was held. Representatives of 13 founding member companies — including FiberHome, China Construction Third Engineering Bureau, HGTECH, YHKT Entertainment, Huakang Clean and Shenglong Electric — and of more than 100 other Optics Valley enterprises attended the event.

The ceremony was held under the theme "Chasing the Light, Connecting the World." In recent years, Optics Valley's innovations have been reaching the world at an accelerating pace. The overseas social media matrix of "Optics Valley of China" has continued to attract attention, and "made in Optics Valley" products such as the Optics Valley Photon sky rail and driverless minibuses have been repeatedly applauded by spokespersons of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, becoming a "calling card for China" in the eyes of overseas netizens. To help companies move from "product export" to "brand export," Optics Valley has worked with the News & Information Service Center of Xinhua News Agency and other partners to establish the Optics Valley International Communication Alliance, opening international communication resources to Optics Valley companies and providing them with one-stop services such as overseas public opinion response and multilingual content production, so as to serve as a "navigator" for companies going global. As the national news agency of China, Xinhua News Agency has 184 overseas branches and has established cooperative links with more than 2,000 media outlets around the world.
Speaking as a representative of the founding members, Li Lei, vice president of FiberHome, said that FiberHome's business now covers more than 100 countries and regions, with wholly owned subsidiaries in 36 countries and three overseas optical cable plants in Ecuador, Thailand and Hungary; at its Philippine subsidiary, locally hired employees account for more than 95 percent of the workforce. "We will stay committed to high-quality global expansion and to deepening localized operations, and, with the platform of the Optics Valley International Communication Alliance, we will not only export China's advanced communication technologies and solutions, but also serve as a bridge for industrial cooperation and people-to-people connectivity between China and the rest of the world," he said.
Huakang Clean, also a founding member, is a leading enterprise in China's cleanroom industry. It has made going global a core strategy for the 15th Five-Year Plan period, completed its market layout in Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, South America and Africa, and exported mature cleanroom technology solutions. It looks forward to deepening cross-border collaboration and strengthening brand building through the alliance platform.
At the ceremony, a think tank report was released — "Going Global, Competing Worldwide: How 'Optics Valley of China' Polishes Its International Calling Card in Service of Building a Strong Nation in Science and Technology — Practices and Insights," written by Reference News Press · Reference Think Tank. According to the report, leading enterprises represented by the "Seven Stars of Optics Valley" have seen average annual growth in overseas revenue of more than 30 percent. The report sums up Optics Valley's global communication path as "one strategic direction and ten keywords": Optics Valley takes serving the building of a strong nation in science and technology as its strategic direction, and adheres to central-local coordination, AI empowerment, going global as a team, and tailored measures for different markets.
The report states that Optics Valley has witnessed and written the confidence and determination of a brand of a strong nation in science and technology going global, and that when the light of "Optics Valley of China" illuminates the global industrial landscape, it conveys the narrative of the times in which China takes part in global competition through technological self-reliance and self-strengthening and shares its opportunities with the world. The report suggests that, for Optics Valley to keep polishing its international calling card in service of building a strong nation in science and technology, three things need to be fully considered: first, elevating the Optics Valley story from "corporate behavior" to a "national narrative"; second, making full use of AI, a global knowledge-service infrastructure, to carry out global communication; and third, moving from "communication empowering industry" to "communication as an industrial capability."
A training session on overseas communication capacity building was held alongside the inauguration ceremony, with David Wei, founder of Vision Knight Capital, and Cao Yang, deputy director of the International Communication Department of the News & Information Service Center of Xinhua News Agency, invited to give lectures.
