企业的品牌和市场营销工作中，媒体和自媒体是必须使用的传播桥梁。媒体和自媒体是不同的媒介，具有各自的属性。根据不同的传播目的，企业必须建立自己的媒体名单和媒体关系，企业必须长期有计划的维护媒体关系。善用媒体是企业公关的长期必修课。除了有采编权的媒体，企业传播中经常与自媒体合作。而自媒体少了约束和管理，乱象丛生，企业宛如陷入了黑森林，既要前行，又要防范。认识媒体特性，了解媒体风格，进而判断媒体和自媒体的真正价值，从而精选出适合企业目标的合作媒体。这绝非易事。

In corporate branding and marketing practice, the media and self-media are the communication bridges that should be used. Media and self-media are different and have their own attributes. According to different communication purposes, companies must establish their own media lists and media relations, and companies must maintain media relations in an organized way for a long term. How to leverage media well is a long-term compulsory course for companies. In addition to media with editing rights, corporate communications often cooperate with self-media. However, self-media lacks restraint and management, which causes chaos. In this case, the enterprise seems to be trapped in the black forest when it must move forward and meanwhile safeguard business against risks. It’s not easy to understand the different characteristics and styles of media, judge the true value of media and self-media, so as to select cooperative media suitable for corporate goals.

As one of the indicators for green economy and sustainable development, carbon neutrality has been a constant pursuit for China in recent years. With this in mind, the rise of new energy vehicles (NEV) has depicted a promising future for achieving carbon neutrality and thus a sustainably developing society. Sales of electric, plug-in hybrid and hydrogen-powered vehicles in China, the world’s biggest auto market, are forecast to rise to 20% of overall new car sales by 2025 from just 5% at the end of 2020, according to the State Council of China. NEV-related industries such as charging stations have also been developing fast in recent years.

As opportunities, news, and policies are quickly evolving around sustainable development and its outlook, this event aims to shed light on the current state of NEV and its related industries.
Experts will share their view on current policies and perspectives on what is to come for this industry.
