"Winning the second prize in the 9th China Nanning Overseas Talent Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition in 2026 allowed me to see the opportunity for the project to be implemented in Nanning." Taiwanese businessman Chen Shengkuan said in an interview with reporters recently.
This competition attracted a total of 824 project registrations. After competition at 6 preliminary sites including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Paris, Singapore, and Bangkok, 50 high-quality projects finally advanced to the finals to be held in Nanning in late September this year.
Chen Shengkuan is the head of technology research and development at Carbon Intelligence (Suzhou) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. He has been deeply involved in the field of wireless charging of electric bicycles for six years. In order to start a business in the mainland, he used his real estate in Taiwan to borrow money and went to the mainland to conduct various scenario experiments and product technology development, with a total investment of more than 5 million yuan.
Chen Shengkuan said that he was able to start a business in mainland China only because of the support of Shu Zhonghe, the head of Carbon Intelligence (Suzhou) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Shu Zhonghe and Chen Shengkuan are alumni of National Taiwan University. In 2024, when Chen Shengkuan could no longer hold on, Shu Zhonghe gave him great financial support.
Chen Shengkuan introduced that the wireless charging solution for electric bicycles he presented in the competition has obtained three invention patents. Since there are no plug-in or pull-out connectors and no exposed wires, wireless charging has no sparks and has insulation properties. Once an abnormality occurs, it can immediately alarm and be directly connected to the battery for continuous monitoring. For urban management, this is not only a change in charging methods, but also a benefit for fire safety.
I chose Nanning because of the market. Chen Shengkuan said that there are 5.3 million electric two-wheelers in Nanning, and one family has nearly two. Charging electric bicycles has become a problem in urban governance. His idea is to install wireless charging facilities in public areas such as sidewalks so that vehicles can be charged without entering the community, and at the same time revitalize urban investment assets.
Chen Shengkuan said that he hopes to empower local state-owned enterprises with technology. The state-owned enterprises will be responsible for operation and maintenance, and he will set up a technical support company.
Chen Shengkuan also has another identity - the leader of the Taiwan Science and Technology Innovation Energy Technology Group. Taiwan Science and Technology Innovation originated from the Shanghai Taiwan Association Science and Technology Innovation Working Committee and is committed to serving the development of science and technology industries on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. He said that a group of Taiwan's technology and innovation partners are looking forward to attending the Guangxi-Taiwan Economic, Trade and Cultural Cooperation Forum to be held in Nanning on the 19th of this month, and he intends to take this opportunity to promote the implementation of projects in Nanning.
Chen Shengkuan said that the electric bicycle wireless charging project he promoted, by installing a wireless charging receiver on the electric bicycle and building a Beidou module, the platform can grasp the carbon emission reduction generated by riding an electric bicycle and convert it into carbon emission reduction points. According to estimates, an electric bicycle can reduce carbon emissions by about 0.6 tons a year. The platform obtains carbon emission reduction data, and the owner can get free charging. The platform ultimately benefits from selling carbon emission reduction data.
In Chen Shengkuan's view, this model can not only be replicated in mainland Chinese cities, but is also suitable for the ASEAN market. Most electric bicycles in Vietnam and other ASEAN countries use lead-acid batteries, and the battery replacement model is difficult to cover ordinary users. However, wireless charging is low-cost, flexible in installation, and has the conditions for promotion. The "AI Empowering Thousands of Industries" Super League held in Guangxi also provides the possibility for the project to move to ASEAN.
At present, Chen Shengkuan has contacted local state-owned enterprises in Nanning. He said that the other party is willing to operate locally and connect existing charging socket operators to the wireless charging platform. If the project is implemented, every citizen will have access to safe wireless charging technology.
