Dr. Liu Jiren, Chairman & CEO of Neusoft Corporation, was recognized as both the technology category winner and the country winner of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of The Year 2010 China awards. Meanwhile, as the country winner, Dr. Liu won the opportunity to compete for the Ernst & Young Global Entrepreneur of the Year awards in the coming year.

Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® is the world's most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs. The unique award makes a difference through the way it encourages entrepreneurial activity among those with potential, and recognizes the contribution of people who inspire others with their vision, leadership and achievement.

In his award speech, Dr. Liu said, "it is a great honor to be recognized as the technology category winner and the country winner. It is not only a recognition for Neusoft, but also an expression of confidence in the future potential of China's IT industry. China has a huge talent pool, a strong manufacturing industry, and a vast market. Also, China is now rising as an important part of the global innovation network. All of these pose outstanding opportunities for China's IT and service industry. We are truly lucky to be living in this time of exploding opportunities."

The theme for this year's Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of The Year China awards program is "Discovering new horizons", a reflection of the need for entrepreneurs to go beyond normal boundaries in order to develop new products and explore new markets in the post-global financial crisis environment, where competition has been becoming increasingly fierce. The 13 category winners this year are from a broad range of industries, including cleantech, consumer and industrial products, health science, media and entertainment, services, telecom and technology.
