The Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th Weifang Municipal Party Committee emphasized that it is necessary to promote the "quality improvement" of traditional industries and the "accelerated fission" of emerging industries. This year, Weifang firmly grasped the core internal drive of high-quality development of scientific and technological innovation, made an excellent platform, cultivated excellent subjects, cultivated excellent talents, accelerated the formation of new quality productivity, and created hard core power for the construction of a better Weifang.
In the first-class R&D laboratory of Fuyoute (Shandong) New Material Technology, Guo Xiaohui, the leader of the enterprise laboratory and a doctor from Changchun University of Technology, is developing new polyimide membranes and polyimide monomer experiments. Just over a year after joining the company, the team led by her has achieved breakthroughs in this field. "(Originally) there were certain difficulties in its technical route, and after a period of testing in our laboratory, we have overcome this difficulty, and have been able to achieve the purity of the product to reach 99%, which is the first enterprise (in the industry) to invest in the development of this monomer. Guo Xiaohui told reporters.
In order to allow more scientific and technological talents and teams like Guo Xiaohui to stay in Weifang, since the beginning of this year, Weifang City has insisted on cultivating talents with scientific and technological projects, gathering talents with innovation platforms, and encouraging talents with scientific and technological policies.
Li Changtao, chief staff member of the Science and Technology Talent and Intelligence Introduction Service Section of Weifang Science and Technology Bureau: "This year, around the 'introduction, education and retention' of talents, in advanced manufacturing, modern agriculture and other advantageous fields, our city has 8 people selected for the national key talent project, 43 people have been selected for the Taishan series of talent projects, and 6 provincial outstanding youth science projects (overseas) have been approved to achieve 'zero breakthrough'."
While policy empowerment, service strengthening, and greater efforts to cultivate the soft power of scientific and technological talents, Weifang also actively guides small and medium-sized technology-based enterprises to build R&D platforms with universities and institutes, and continuously improves the independent innovation ability of enterprises with higher-level platform advantages.
Shandong University of Technology has issued a lot of policies, that is, for example, one person can have two posts, one person can be in Shandong University of Technology, and the other post can be extended to enterprises to serve, such as the establishment of research institutes. Zhang Tiezhu, former president of Shandong University of Technology and vice chairman of China Battery Industry Association, said.
In Weifang Juneng Battery, school-enterprise cooperation and communication like this have become the norm. As a high-tech enterprise specializing in R&D and production in the field of energy storage and power lithium-ion batteries, it is precisely by relying on the empowerment of the joint construction of a high-level R&D platform that the company has developed rapidly in recent years, realized the continuous transformation of new achievements, and continuously improved its independent innovation capabilities. At present, 31 patents in the field of lithium-ion batteries have been obtained, and a number of technologies have filled the gap in the industry.
Du Jilei, general manager of Weifang Juneng Battery: "We hope to seize the opportunity of market development, grow rapidly, take lithium iron phosphate batteries as the main direction, and at the same time keep up with the development trend of sodium-ion batteries, and strive to use three to five years to become a relatively large-scale enterprise." “
Since the beginning of this year, Weifang has successively won 3 platform funds at or above the provincial level300 million yuan, 2 provincial-level international science and technology cooperation bases have been approved, and 38 R&D platforms have been jointly built by enterprises and universities and institutes. The two high-tech zones of Zhucheng and Fangzi have been successfully established as provincial-level high-tech zones, and the number of provincial-level high-tech zones ranks first in the province, forming a "1+3" pattern of national and provincial high-tech zones.
