On June 13, when the "100-day countdown to Hangzhou Asian Games" is about to 
come, Yili Group and the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee (HAGOC) held 
a press conference themed "Ride the Wave Passionately" on the bank of the 
Qiantang River, announcing that Yili became the exclusive supplier of official 
dairy products for the Hangzhou Asian Games. Yu Xuekun, head of the Legal 
Affairs Department of the Asian Games Organizing Committee, Ye Hong, deputy 
director of the Market Development Department, Zhang Jianqiu, senior executive 
president of Yili Group, Zhong Qixin, head coach of the speed team of China 
Climbing Team, and two athlete representatives were invited to the event to 
witness Yili's collaboration with the Hangzhou Asian Games.

The 19th Asian Games will open in Hangzhou in September, another international 
sports event after Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. With the positioning of 
"China's New Era, Hangzhou's New Asian Games", the Hangzhou Asian Games has 
drawn nationwide attention and will fully unleash the charm of sports, build up 
the friendship between the people of Asian countries, and further expand the 
influence of Asian sports.

Zhang Jianqiu said: "By becoming the exclusive supplier of official dairy 
products for the Hangzhou Asian Games, Yili has taken a firm step in the big 
sports strategy. During the Asian Games, Yili will provide comprehensive 
nutritional support and do our best for its success, demonstrating China to the 
world." 

As a brand trusted and supported by Chinese people, Yili has long been 
recognized by major international sports events. From the Beijing Summer 
Olympics, the Shanghai World Expo, the G20 Hangzhou Summit, the Wuhan Military 
Games, the Beijing Winter Olympics, to the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games, Yili 
is never absent. 

At the press conference, many new-generation Chinese athletes joined the newly 
formed "Yili Dream Team", which embodies Yili's profound understanding of the 
Asian Games and infinite enthusiasm for nutrition and health. They will embark 
on a new journey for new glory at the Asian Games.

As the host city of the 19th Asian Games, Hangzhou has its unique charm, with 
strong classical cultural heritage and cutting-edge technologies. Based on a 
profound insight into Hangzhou's millennium culture and advanced technologies, 
as well as the long history of the Asian Games, Yili announced a pure milk 
package customized for the Games. This customized product uses AIGC technology 
to assist the packaging design, making the traditional beauty fully collide 
with cutting-edge technology, not only bringing a new visual experience to 
consumers, but also leading the innovative development of China's food industry 
into the AI era. 

What's more, Yili also launched new customized products for the Asian Games, 
including Satine, Gemice, Xinhuo and Shuhua. Yili's customized pure milk for 
the Asian Games will be available first in East China and on the Taobao/Tmall 
platform. The Satine and Shuhua products packaged with kraft paper in line with 
the concept of green Asian Games will be exclusively available at Tmall 
Supermarket.

By joining hands with the Asian Games, Yili has injected new momentum into the 
development of China's sports industry through actions, opening a new chapter 
in the integrated development of sports and health in China. At the same time, 
guided by the goal of "New Vision for Value Creation", Yili will continue to 
practice loving action, provide health products, convey health concepts, and 
drive the dream of "World Integrally Sharing Health" into reality.
