Chips are the cornerstone of accelerating innovation in the smart electric vehicle industry and a key force supporting modern economic and social development. To actively promote the practical application of automotive chips, foster upstream and downstream "car-chip" collaboration, and promote the coordinated development of the industry chain, the 2023 "Core to Yizhuang" Automotive Chip Competition was successfully held in Beijing. Guided by the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, it was hosted by the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee, organized by Gasgoo, and supported by the National New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Center.

This competition recognized outstanding innovative technology companies and industry leaders. Avnet China President Dong Hua was named "2023 Automotive Chip Industry Influential Person," and Avnet China received the "2023 Best Partner" award. These dual honors are a recognition not only of Dong Hua's personal achievements, but also of Avnet China's outstanding contributions to the automotive chip industry ecosystem.

Avnet China won the "2023 Best Partner" award

Avnet is a leading global technology distributor and solutions provider with a century-long history. Avnet holds a pivotal position in the automotive industry chain. According to Gartner's 2022 Automotive Electronics Distributor Rankings, Avnet ranks among the top global automotive chip distributors. Furthermore, Avnet counts NXP, Infineon, Renesas, STMicroelectronics, and other leading global chip companies as key partners in the automotive industry.

In the Chinese market, under the leadership and drive of Dong Hua, President of Avnet China, Avnet has successfully transformed and upgraded itself from a technology distributor to a technology and supply chain value provider for the Chinese automotive industry. This has reshaped Avnet's business model in China, establishing a dedicated automotive business unit encompassing sales, technical support, supplier management, and solution design. At the same time, the company has accurately grasped the trends in vehicle electrification and intelligence, focusing on popular applications such as smart cockpits, assisted driving, and battery management, providing customers with diverse solutions. Thanks to the combined efforts of Dong Hua and her team, the automotive business has become a major revenue driver for Avnet China.

Avnet's steady growth in China is inseparable from its global presence, local decision-making, and leading technology. As a globally advanced integrated solutions provider, Avnet has deeply understood market demand and launched a wide range of intelligent driving technology solutions, encompassing vehicle connectivity, digital control, sensors, algorithms, and system integration. Furthermore, Avnet strongly supports local chip manufacturers and, through the establishment of a rich ecosystem of partners, reaches all levels of the automotive industry, connecting and empowering upstream and downstream sectors of the supply chain to jointly promote the electrification and intelligent development of vehicles.

Dong Hua stated , "The automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation unseen in a century. The trend toward electrification and intelligentization is irreversible. Avnet anticipated this trend early on, implementing forward-looking industry strategies, maintaining strategic focus, and adhering to a long-term approach, enabling it to achieve significant growth in the Chinese market. At the same time, Avnet firmly believes in the hard-working spirit and technological and market strength of Chinese automotive professionals. Going forward, Avnet will continue to unwaveringly fulfill its role as a technology and supply chain value provider, working with industry partners to promote technological and application innovation, leverage each other's strengths, and jointly drive the development of China's automotive industry. "

In fact, in the era of electric and smart cars, the traditional simple supply and demand relationship between cars and chips has been broken. The industry's original OEM+Tier1+Tier2 pyramid supply chain structure is being reconstructed. Simple chip supply can no longer better meet customer needs, so the "platform + ecology" model that is more in line with industrial development has become mainstream. This requires chips to not only integrate with end-cloud data, but also to be more integrated with software and different links in the industrial chain.

Against this backdrop, Avnet has actively collaborated with Chinese automakers, intervening early in the development of new vehicles. Through systematic thinking and design, in-depth R&D, and supply chain integration, Avnet serves the needs of the Chinese market and even introduces more applications for Chinese-made automotive chips, helping them enter overseas markets. These efforts have become the "engine" driving Avnet's growth in China. This award further affirms Avnet China's successful practices.
