With an open and inclusive attitude, it deeply assists the local economic and social construction, and enhances cooperation and win-win results.

The Adama Phase II wind power project located in Ethiopia is the first foreign wind power project to adopt Chinese standards and technologies. It is also an important measure taken by the Ethiopian government to protect the ecological environment and meet economic and social development. The total installed capacity of the project is 153MW, with an average annual power generation of about 500 million kilowatts. The project is completed using Sany equipment from wind turbine hoisting to wind farm construction. The project meets about 30% of the electricity demand in the capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, injecting new impetus into the economic development of Ethiopia and receiving high praise from the local government and the international community.

In 2017, Saudi Arabia announced the establishment of an unprecedented "future city" called NEOM. As the core project of the Saudi Vision 2030, NEOM covers an area of 26500 square kilometers and is a large-scale comprehensive urban construction project that involves a large amount of infrastructure and construction projects. Since the second half of 2021, more than 1600 Sany equipment, including cranes, excavators, loaders, dump trucks, concrete pump trucks, and other construction machinery, have been deployed on the construction site of NEOM New City. Currently, these equipment, along with more than 50 local engineers in Sany, are wielding iron arms and sweat, fully promoting the rise of a giant future city.

In May 2018, Sany Institute of Technology signed a cooperative education agreement with Somya University in Mumbai, India, to closely cooperate in areas such as credit exchange for exchange courses, targeted class training, student summer internships overseas, and teacher visits. Sany Group became the first Chinese enterprise to establish educational cooperation projects with Indian higher education institutions. At the end of 2018, the first batch of Somaya students went to Sany Institute of Technology for an exchange study for one month. Since 2018, nearly 150 Somaya teachers and students have visited Sany India for exchange and learning. The deep cooperation between industry, academia, and research has brought China and India closer to each other through cross disciplinary cooperation.

Those who share the same aspiration do not take mountains and seas as the distance. In August 2023, the 15th BRICS Leaders' Meeting announced the invitation to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Iran, and Ethiopia to officially become members of the BRICS family. Walking together on the great road, we aim for the future together. The cooperation between BRICS countries has broad prospects and promising future development. Sany will firmly seize historical opportunities and share resources, wisdom, and opportunities through the BRICS Innovation Base Industry Innovation Alliance, making Sany contributions to turning the cooperation vision of the BRICS countries' "Second Golden Decade" into reality!
