As a college student in China, Jing had never left her home country. Back then, traveling abroad was a major expense. However, after attending college in China for two years, curiosity and ambition led Jing and a group of students to Germany in 2004 to continue their education as part of joint program between two universities.
While attending school in Germany, Jing discovered her passion for renewable energy, especially solar. She completed her studies while focusing on solar technology research, earning a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Fachhochschule Hannover and an MBA from the University of Würzburg.
“The world is behind schedule in slowing climate change,
I believe we’re all obligated to protect the environment and I take that responsibility very seriously. My generation needs to recognize the urgency of climate change and make renewable energy a top priority.”
Jing Yu - CEO of Fortress Power
