Focusing on Cutting-Edge Development, Exploring Development Opportunities
The first stop of the visit was the Henan Innovative Biotechnology Research Institute, where President Bai Zhonghu and his delegation conducted on-site research on the platform's cutting-edge technology layout in the field of cell applications and its practical experience in transnational cooperation. They then visited the "Digital Henan Talent" project base in the Central Plains Science and Technology City Digital Talent Industrial Park to gain a deeper understanding of the project's operation model, scientific and technological innovation implementation, and the achievements in building a digital talent cultivation system. At the Microsoft "Cloud and Mobile Technology Incubation Program" Central Plains Longzihu Digital Economy Innovation and Entrepreneurship Incubation Center, the delegation experienced digital innovation applications such as mixed reality technology and intelligent office systems.
Ren Xiang, Chairman of the CNUKTIP, stated that the platform, by introducing top international resources, is committed to providing local industries with technological empowerment and global development opportunities. The platform's practical explorations in international resource integration and scientific research achievement transformation resonate deeply with Zhengzhou University of Engineering and Technology's application-oriented and internationalized educational philosophy. The two sides engaged in heated discussions on collaborative technological paths in cutting-edge fields such as biomedicine and artificial intelligence, as well as practical experiences in industry-education integration innovation models.
Deepening School-Enterprise Dialogue, Jointly Planning a New Chapter of Development
Li Hui, Vice President of the Zhengzhou Alumni Association of Zhengzhou University of Engineering and Technology, Vice Chairman of the CNUKTIP, and Director of the Henan Innovation Biotechnology Research Institute, chaired the symposium. At the symposium, Li Ben, member of the Party Committee and Minister of the Organization Department of Zhengzhou University of Engineering and Technology, systematically introduced the school's history, educational positioning, and development plan. Vice President Wu Jiong highlighted the progress of the Levitt Institute for Interdisciplinary Research in Life Sciences and Digital Technology, proposing a vision to deepen university-industry collaboration in cutting-edge fields such as cell therapy and artificial intelligence. Platform Chairman Ren Xiang elaborated on the platform's industrial layout in biomedicine, digital economy, and cultural creativity, expressing his expectation to explore new paths for industry-education integration by combining the research advantages of universities. Both sides engaged in constructive discussions on topics such as technology transfer, joint talent cultivation, and international cooperation.
President Bai Zhonghu emphasized during the exchange that the college has always adhered to leveraging collaborative educational resources and looks forward to jointly solving practical challenges in technology transfer and talent cultivation through complementary university and enterprise resources. Chairman Ren Xiang proposed that the platform will fully utilize its international resource integration capabilities to provide support for university research projects in industry matching, model innovation, and market validation. Both sides agreed on the potential for cooperation in the fields of biomedicine and digital economy, and agreed to establish a regular communication mechanism to jointly promote the feasibility study of specific cooperation plans.
Building Consensus on Development and Envisioning Future Collaboration
This visit laid an important foundation for both parties to establish a collaborative relationship between industry, academia, and research. In the future, the CNUKTIP and Zhengzhou University of Engineering and Technology will uphold the principles of openness, sharing, and collaborative innovation, actively explore cooperative models that leverage the complementary strengths of universities and enterprises, fully utilize the research advantages of universities and the platform's international resource integration capabilities, and create a high ground for technology transfer and a benchmark for talent cultivation in fields such as biomedicine and the digital economy. Together, they will contribute wisdom and strength to the implementation of Henan Province's science and technology innovation and industrial upgrading strategy, and to the high-quality development of Henan.
