Hytera signed a constructive Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Blue Sky Rescue (BSR), China's largest non-profit civil rescue organization at BSR’s 10th Anniversary Ceremony

BSR’s 10th Anniversary Ceremony was held at Yanqi International Convention Center in Beijing on December 14th. The BSR has granted Hytera volunteers with the “BSR Corporate Services Team” status, as Hytera plans to support its employees from over 50 branches around the world to sign up to the cause.

The celebration brought together government officials, NGO leaders and representatives, and the world’s most influential emergency response experts with more than 3000 BSR volunteers to review and celebrate the growth of BSR over the past decade, and call for collaborations across various boundaries to address the common challenge of emergency response and rescue facing human kind.

On December 15th, nearly 100 government and social organization leaders from China and abroad, including emergency rescue experts, academics and business representatives, focused on security and rescue, attended the International Forum sponsored by the BSR. They jointly explored the challenges and opportunities faced by social organizations in international humanitarian action, stressing the importance of strengthening the coordination between different countries which include the national non-governmental forces, social organizations and enterprises along with the government emergency rescue response. The assembled leaders and experts worked together to address the world's increasingly serious and complex security and disaster challenges. The forum had a lively discussion on several topics such as “standardized construction in crisis management", "the role and responsibility of enterprises in humanitarian action", and “combining the expertise and experience of social organization development and humanitarian action".

The nature of Hytera business defines our corporate character, and we share the same spirit with BSR of ‘being mission-driven, highly professional and accountable’. We started our cooperation in 2015, by supporting BSR with our PMR equipment in their critical rescue efforts in disasters like the Nepal earthquake, Shenzhen Guangming landslide, Myanmar Flood and Jiu Zhaigou earthquake. Hytera also provides training for BSR volunteers to enable them with the necessary skills of using Hytera PMR equipment in various emergency scenarios. Just like BSR, Hytera is also at a new stage of global development. Hytera started its global journey in 2004, over the past few decades, Hytera has grown into a world leading PMR solution provider through technology innovation and dedication to customer values in the markets where we operate. It is said that with great power comes great responsibility, with nearly 1000 experienced local professionals in Europe we are the largest PMR solution provider for public safety and emergency response and our customers trust us to deliver critical communications.We should all take more responsibility to assist the governments, agencies, NGOs and the local communities to tackle the security challenges facing Europe and many other parts of the world. Partnering with BSR, we will actively participate in the international security and rescue efforts, contributing to local communities. We will leverage our technology leadership and a global team of talents to become a valuable asset to society, and a global corporate citizen, fulfilling our social responsibilities,” said Guo Tao, Vice President, Global Brand, Marketing and Public Affairs, Hytera Group.
