From January 28 to 29, 2026, Fox ESS hosted its Global Summit and Grand Gala at its headquarters in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, welcoming more than 300 partners from over 30 countries. Centred on the theme A Toast to Trust, the event focused on strengthening international relationships while exploring the future direction of clean energy. The summit marked a significant milestone for Fox ESS as the company continues to expand its global presence and reinforce long-term collaboration across key markets.
Leadership perspective on the clean energy transition
The summit opened with a keynote address from Fox ESS CEO Michael Zhu, who placed trust at the centre of sustainable growth in the renewable energy sector. He emphasised the role of strong partnerships and local engagement in supporting global expansion and long-term success.
“Trust is the cornerstone of our global partnerships. As we navigate the growing push for green energy, I’ve never been more confident in this industry’s future. Our dynamic team is our greatest asset; our frontline employees spend nearly half their time overseas, addressing local needs and creating tailored solutions.”
Zhu’s address reinforced Fox ESS’s commitment to localised support, highlighting the importance of understanding regional requirements rather than relying on standardised global approaches.
Showcasing manufacturing and R&D capability
A guided tour of the Fox ESS manufacturing facility formed a central part of the summit experience. International guests were given insight into the company’s intelligent production processes, advanced automation, and in-house research and development capabilities. The tour demonstrated Fox ESS’s focus on quality control, innovation, and scalable manufacturing, providing partners with confidence in the company’s ability to support long-term growth across diverse markets.
Strengthening relationships beyond the boardroom
Beyond technical discussions, the summit program was designed to encourage meaningful connection. Attendees participated in test-driving sessions, kart racing, and traditional Chinese cultural workshops, creating informal opportunities to build relationships. These shared experiences brought together technology, culture, and brand storytelling, reinforcing Fox ESS’s belief that strong partnerships extend well beyond commercial agreements.
Recognising global partners and installers
The Grand Gala celebrated installers, distributors, and strategic partners whose contributions have driven clean energy adoption in their local markets. Awards recognised excellence, commitment, and innovation, reflecting the essential role partners play in Fox ESS’s global strategy. This recognition reinforced the company’s partner-first approach and its appreciation for those delivering solutions on the ground.
Rapid global growth and market leadership
Since its establishment in Wenzhou, Fox ESS has grown to employ more than 4,000 people and now operates in over 70 countries. According to S&P Global’s latest report, the company achieved the top residential energy storage market share in Europe during the first half of 2025, with particularly strong performance in the United Kingdom and Poland. These results highlight both product reliability and the effectiveness of Fox ESS’s local market strategy.
A global presence with local focus
Over the past year, Fox ESS has participated in more than 40 international exhibitions and hosted over 200 customer events worldwide. This ongoing engagement allows the company to stay closely connected to installers and distributors, while dedicated local service teams ensure efficient response times and region-specific support. This approach reflects Fox ESS’s commitment to meeting the unique needs of each market it serves.
Building an integrated energy ecosystem
Fox ESS continues to invest heavily in research and development, with more than 400 professionals working within its R&D team. The company has refined its internal feedback mechanisms so that insights from global markets directly inform product development. By integrating research, manufacturing, sales, and service, Fox ESS has built a comprehensive energy ecosystem designed to deliver consistent performance at scale.
Looking ahead to a trusted energy future
As the global energy transition accelerates, expectations around reliability, transparency, and long-term support continue to rise. Through its Global Summit 2026, Fox ESS reaffirmed its commitment to trust-driven partnerships that support the widespread adoption of clean energy technologies. By investing in people, collaboration, and local expertise, Fox ESS aims to play a lasting role in shaping a more sustainable energy future.
