In response to the provincial and municipal guidelines on strengthening industry-university-research collaborative innovation and promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, on January 8, a delegation led by Yang Xiaoguang, General Manager of the Technology Innovation Department of Guangzhou Industrial Investment Holding Group (GIIHG); Yan Li, Party Branch Secretary and Chairman of Guangzhou Chemical Exchange Center Co., Ltd. (GCEC); Associate Professor and Doctoral Supervisor Zhou Jian of Sun Yat-sen University; and Guo Xihong, Chairman of Huizheng Zhilian (ibuychem), visited the Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center University Regional Technology Transfer and Transformation Center for Intelligent Mobility (hereinafter referred to as the “Intelligent Mobility Sub-center”). Focusing on the integrated construction of the “talent-industry-technology” ecosystem, the delegation explored cooperation paths for driving industrial upgrading through scenario-based demands and empowering industrial growth through technological innovation. Dai Qingyun, Executive Director of the Intelligent Mobility Sub-center, and heads of relevant departments of the center participated in the docking.

At the meeting, all parties discussed core issues including cooperation foundation, guarantee system and project advancement, and clarified their respective positioning and action directions in industry-university-research collaborative innovation. General Manager Yang Xiaoguang introduced the basic situation of GIIHG from the aspects of the group’s development status, industrial layout and future cooperation directions, and stated that GIIHG will fulfill the responsibilities of a state-owned enterprise, make good use of the group’s existing scientific and technological innovation funds, and deeply participate in the incubation and landing of high-quality projects of the center. Chairman Yan Li proposed to further integrate the underlying technologies of the enterprise, focus on smart emergency scenarios, release technical demands, and build a four-element development system of “policy-technology-talent-scenario”. Chairman Guo Xihong introduced ibuychem’s 30 years of accumulated resources in the upstream and downstream application ends of the advanced manufacturing industry and practical industry-university-research transformation cases. Associate Professor Zhou Jian systematically introduced the progress and effectiveness of his projects, as well as the cooperation progress with GCEC and ibuychem, and clarified that he will vertically explore scenario-based demands in the field of intelligent mobility, drive technological innovation through market demands, and take the lead in project landing.

In her concluding speech, Director Dai Qingyun pointed out that Guangzhou is fully committed to building a strong city of scientific and technological innovation, which urgently requires state-owned enterprises, scientific research institutes and universities to work in the same direction. With policies as the guide and projects as the starting point, it is necessary to open up the entire chain of “technology R&D-achievement transformation-industrial application”. She hoped that ibuychem will deeply participate in the whole-process guidance and landing of industrialization screening, marketing and production links of the university transformation projects of the center. All parties should focus on the field of intelligent mobility, strengthen resource integration and collaborative research, transform cooperation consensus into development results, and contribute more to Guangzhou’s construction of a modern industrial system.

Next, all parties will continue to deepen cooperation, focusing on two key points: activating the innovation vitality in the field of intelligent mobility, and accelerating the gathering of high-quality resources and the transformation of technological achievements. This will help Guangzhou consolidate the foundation of strategic emerging industries such as intelligent mobility, and promote the formation of a sound development ecosystem of “policy guidance, industry-university-research-application collaboration, and healthy industrial cycle”.
