In 1999, the Hua Yuan Science and Technology Association (HYSTA) was founded in Silicon Valley during an era of passionate entrepreneurship, where countless Chinese international students with dreams gathered to ignite the torch of innovation. In 2005, the HYSTA Annual Conference brought together many top entrepreneurs from around the world. Industry giants like Sohu’s Zhang Chaoyang, NetEase’s Ding Lei, Baidu’s Robin Li, Lenovo’s Yang Yuanqing, UTStarcom’s Wu Ying, and BBK’s Duan Yongping gathered at the event. It was also during this time that the meeting between Jack Ma and Yahoo’s founder Jerry Yang became a pivotal moment that reshaped the destiny of both companies.
Fast forward to 2024, the wave of Generative AI continues to sweep the globe, leading to breakthroughs in countless world-changing innovations, as a new generation of entrepreneurs boldly pursues their dreams.
In the blink of an eye, 25 years have passed. HYSTA has not only been a platform supporting Asian entrepreneurs but has also grown into a core hub facilitating the interaction between technology and capital. It has influenced the destinies of many entrepreneurs and witnessed countless technological and business legends, leaving an indelible mark on the history of Chinese technology.
