On the ceremony, Dean QIAN Yingyi called the signing of MoU "the start of a significant cooperation." "In recent years, the rapid growth of China's automobile industry brought about significant challenges in the fields of energy, environment, traffic commute and others. Solving these issues requires technological innovation, and innovation requires human talents. As leader in the automobile industry, Volkswagen has a reputation for nurturing talents, providing rich opportunities as a base for their growth. I believe this is the key for Volkswagen's success. Likewise, our school has a great responsibility of cultivating talents. This is the reason that brings us together here today…This cooperation between Volkswagen and Tsinghua opens a door for excellent students to achieve their career goals."
