Over ¥3.2 Billion Donated for SJTU’s 130th Anniversary




n April 8, 2026, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) held its 130th anniversary celebration at the Huo Yingdong Sports Center on the Minhang Campus. As the university marks this milestone, it has received multiple nine‑figure donations from alumni and enterprises, providing strong support for its pursuit of becoming a world‑class university.
Since late 2025, many distinguished alumni and companies have donated cash or shares to SJTU. Every donation is directed to specific schools, laboratories, or award programmes, focusing on cutting‑edge fields such as artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, naval architecture and ocean engineering, and medical‑engineering integration, as well as talent development. Among them, Xiamen Ruitui Investment (holding company of CATL, founded by alumnus Robin Zeng) donated 5 million shares of CATL, valued at approximately RMB 2 billion – the largest single donation during the anniversary period.
