On the other hand, it can also provide a good demonstration for other enterprises in the industry.

This year, the China MIKE Award has established the Yano Innovation Award, which has also received affirmation and support from Professor Yano Ikujiro himself. We hope that more and more enterprises will benefit from the selection results of the MIKE Award, allowing knowledge management to continue empowering the sustainable development of our country's enterprises.
