April 24: The 9th "All Things Grow" Conference was held in Hangzhou, where the *2025 Hangzhou Unicorn & Future Unicorn List* was officially released. Dangbei was once again named a "Future Unicorn" for its outstanding technological innovation and market performance. This official recognition not only serves as a strong endorsement of Dangbei’s industry contributions but also solidifies its position as a next-gen tech leader in Hangzhou.
The "All Things Grow" Conference is a premier annual event in China’s innovation and entrepreneurship scene, attracting global tech leaders, academics, startups, and investors. The "Unicorn & Future Unicorn" list is widely regarded as a benchmark for excellence in China’s startup ecosystem, spotlighting top-performing companies in their respective fields—Dangbei being a prime example.
Building a Smart Ecosystem: Software + Hardware + OS + AI
Since its founding in 2013, Dangbei has focused on the smart big-screen sector, creating an integrated ecosystem spanning "software, hardware, OS, and AI."
- Software: Dangbei Market, China’s leading smart TV app store, serves over 200 million households. The company also developed 10+ apps like Haqu TV and Dangbei Music, forming an "app matrix" for entertainment, education, and health.
- Hardware: Dangbei dominates the laser projector market with a 50%+ share—meaning 1 in every 2 laser projectors sold in China is a Dangbei. Its product lineup, including Dangbei TV boxes, PadGO smart displays, and smart aquariums, leads multiple categories.
- OS: The self-developed Dangbei OS redefines big-screen interaction with features like far-field voice control and customizable interfaces. Dubbed the "iOS of Big Screens," it powers not only Dangbei’s devices but also partners like Sony, Samsung, and LG.
- AI: In February 2025, Dangbei launched its multi-device AI platform, Dangbei AI, which surpassed 1 million users in under two months—making it one of China’s fastest-growing AI tools. The company also integrated DeepSeek’s AI model into its projectors, pioneering "context-aware" smart projection.
Going Global: From "Made in China" to "World-Class Brand"
Dangbei’s overseas expansion exemplifies Chinese tech brands’ global rise:
- Japan: The Dangbei Mars Pro2 won *Best Buy* from *Kaden Hyōhō* and is sold in high-end retailers like Tokyo’s Tsutaya.
- Europe: Localized designs and distribution fueled rapid growth, challenging entrenched Western brands.
- Taiwan (China): Strong sales in major chains like Fayaque and Tsann Kuen boosted market share.
The brand has also earned global accolades, including Red Dot, iF Design, and Japan’s VGP Award, cementing its reputation for innovation.
Industry Leadership & Recognition
- Chair of the China Video Industry Association’s Big-Screen Software Division, setting 3 industry standards.
- Named to multiple elite lists: *2022/2024 Hangzhou Future Unicorns*, *2022 China Future Unicorn TOP100*.
- Honored as a "National Specialized & Innovative ‘Little Giant’" and a pre-IPO company.
- Co-founder Lei Qi listed in *Hurun 30×30 Young Entrepreneurs*.
From a Hangzhou startup to a global big-screen leader, Dangbei’s 12-year journey reflects China’s shift from "product exports" to "ecosystem expansion." This latest accolade reaffirms its role in driving the industry from the "display era" to the "age of intelligence."
