New York, July 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On July 18, Fortune business media published its annual "Top 40 Under 40 Business Elites in China" for 2023, which included Miss Wang Yang, the founder and CEO of NaaS (NASDAQ: NAAS). Miss Wang was the sole representative from the renewable energy service sector to make it to the list.

Wang Yang shares her perspective on the critical role of the energy sector, "The energy industry underpins every sector of the economy, from transportation and logistics to everyday travel. Reducing emissions from fossil energy reserves and augmenting them with new energy sources is an inevitable path towards carbon neutrality in China's transportation energy. This has always been a core tenet and ongoing practice at NaaS."

In March 2023, NaaS placed a strong emphasis on technological innovation by introducing independently developed automatic charging robots that equipped with unique robotic arm, vision algorithms and on-board system protocol integration.

Moreover, through flexible management of photovoltaic energy storage and charging, intelligent scheduling, and energy control, NaaS's solutions respond to grid scheduling needs and participate in power market transactions, thereby helping charging stations reduce energy costs.
