On October 13, 2025, Zhou Hongsheng, President of the China Forest Products Industry Association, Liu Dong, Deputy Secretary-General, Ji Baowei, Committee Member and Deputy General Manager of Heze Tongsheng Group, and Ma Yuntao, Project Manager of Shandong Tongsheng Data Technology Co., Ltd., visited the IBI Digital Economy Headquarters for an inspection and exchange. IBI Founder, CEO/President Qian Xiaojun, IBI Vice President, BDD CEO Zhao Yan, and BDD Vice President He Zhengli warmly received the visiting guests. Both parties engaged in in-depth discussions on core topics such as the digital transformation of the forest products industry, supply chain collaborative upgrades, and industry ecosystem construction.

The visiting group first toured the IBI Digital Economy Exhibition Hall to gain an in-depth understanding of the innovative practices and achievements of IBI and the Duoduo platform in the operation of the industrial digital economy.

President Zhou Hongsheng recognized IBI's deep accumulation in the field of industrial internet, noting that the association is actively promoting the standardization and digital upgrading of the forest products industry. He pointed out that Guolian's technological practices provide an important reference for industry transformation. Combined with the current industry development situation, he highlighted that the forest products industry is facing the dual tasks of green transformation and efficiency improvement. The association is committed to building a bridge for government-enterprise cooperation to promote the application of digital technology in subfields such as engineered wood and flooring. He emphasized that IBI's industrial internet model aligns closely with the needs of the forest products industry, and he looks forward to deepening cooperation in areas such as standard formulation and technology promotion to jointly create a digitalization benchmark for the industry.

IBI's founder, CEO/President Qian Xiaojun comprehensively introduced IBI's historical evolution, main business, and strategic planning during the conversation. He pointed out: Based on the rapid development of overall business and continuous iteration and updating of upstream and downstream user needs in the industry chain, IBI has constructed three growth curves: industrial e-commerce, industrial digitalization, and industrial cross-border outreach. Persisting in the path of data element practice, fully exploring the value of industrial data, and facilitating the deep integration and innovative development of data chains, industry chains, supply chains, and financial chains. As a highly influential association in the field of forest products industry, the China Forest Products Industry Association plays a key role in linking enterprise resources and expanding transaction channels. We look forward to working hand in hand with the association, relying on the advantages of both parties to jointly expand new spaces for industrial digitalization and cross-border overseas cooperation.

IBI Vice President and BDD CEO Zhao Yan engaged in discussions on specific cooperation scenarios, focusing on topics such as the digital upgrade of forestry enterprises and the construction of a supply chain collaboration platform. This analysis was aimed at firmly promoting the "integration of digital and real economies" and driving the linkage between the innovation chain, industrial chain, and supply chain. By leveraging IBI's technological foundation and Tongsheng Group's industry resources, a digital pilot project was launched in the Heze forestry industrial zone, aiming to reduce enterprise costs through services like collective procurement and intelligent logistics, thereby aiding regional industrial upgrading.

This exchange has built an important bridge for resource connection among multiple parties. It is hoped that through this exchange, the China National Forest Products Industry Association, Heze Tongsheng Group, and IBI can establish a regular communication mechanism, carry out substantive cooperation in areas such as industrial digital transformation and cross-border resource connection, and jointly promote the high-quality development of the forest products industry.
