Success of the 1st Global Unicorn Fair Heralds Global Acceleration by ToJoy
ToJoy has also brought an opportunity for entrepreneurs across the world -- the 1st Global Unicorn Fair, introducing overseas enterprises into ToJoy's global enterprise empowerment platform while sharing China's quality unicorns or unicorns-to-be with overseas business circles.
Pursuing the mission of "empowering business and sharing happiness", ToJoy, according to its Global CEO Ge Jun, expressed that the 1st Global Unicorn Fair (GUF) aims to break down barriers to communication and cooperation between unicorns and unicorns-to-be in China and the rest of the world. This would result in sharing global resources, experience, and connections for shared prosperity and win-win cooperation between global businesses.
During the 1st GUF, star projects from China including Hanbond, Zhuge Academy, Orich Medical, and Chateau Daymore, staged their debuts to global business circles and were enthusiastically received by entrepreneurs and investors at the event. Meanwhile, blockbusters from overseas such as IFLY, ANVIO VR, Fun Academy, and Texible hit the road into the Chinese market.
For years, ToJoy has been dedicated to building a platform for communication, cooperation, and empowerment of global unicorns, hosting over 300 sessions of the China Unicorn Fair under the banner of co-creation, sharing, and win-win opportunities. This means integrating business opportunities, experience, and connections leading to joint development and shared victory by collective strength, raising funds for promising projects and presenting high-quality projects to investors.
By going global and expanding its business map with the launch of ToJoy EMEA East, and hosting the 1st Global Unicorn Fair, ToJoy has implemented its Great Sharing philosophy with concrete actions, echoing the essence of the Global Alliance of Sharing Economy (GLASE).
The strategic vision of a "double 50% reduction", i.e. reduction of resource consumption and labor needed by 50% respectively, was stated for the 1st time at the launching conference of GLASE. ToJoy is among the first practitioners of this concept. For example, since 2016, ToJoy has implemented a"4*6" working hours schedule. This means ToJoy employees work 4 days per week and 6 hours per day, which has significantly enhanced the working efficiency and business performance of the company while saving time for its employees.
From the launch of ToJoy EMEA East and the 1st Global Unicorn Fair to the sponsorship for the establishment of GLASE and in-depth implementation of "great sharing" philosophy, ToJoy is heralding the Age of Great Sharing Economy with concrete actions in the context of globalization, providing benefits that will last for generations to come.
