Robin Zeng Yuqun (born 1968) is a Chinese billionaire businessman. He is the founder and chairman of the battery manufacturer CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology), and a vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce.[1]

As of 2026, Zeng is among wealthiest people in the world with an estimated networth of US$63.0 Billion according to Forbes[2] and the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.[3]

Early life

Zeng is from Fujian Province. He earned a marine engineering degree from Shanghai Jiaotong University, an MSc in electronics and information engineering from South China University of Technology in 2001, and a PhD in physics from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2006.[4]

Career

Zeng worked at a state-owned shipbuilding company in Fujian Province early in his career. He later joined an electronic parts factory after graduation where he worked for 10 years. He then co-founded Amperex Technology Limited (ATL) in 1999 with two former colleagues. The company produced lithium polymer batteries for digital gadgets, including iPhones, according to a Financial Times report in 2018. In 2005, ATL was acquired by Japan's TDK, but Zeng continued as a manager for ATL.

In 2012, Zeng and vice-chairman Huang Shilin spun-off the electric vehicle battery operations of ATL into a new company CATL, which manufactures lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, and became a world leader in the following years.[5] In 2017, CATL went public on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.[2] In 2024, CATL ventured into renewable energy, power grids and electrical energy storage systems.[6]
