Zhejiang Deep Sea Engineering New Materials and Equipment Industry and Technology Innovation Alliance was established

China News Service, Hangzhou, November 7 (Bao Mengni) On November 7, the special event of the 8th World Zhejiang Entrepreneurs Conference - "Chasing the Deep Blue Dream, Zhejiang Creating the Future" deep-sea engineering and deep-sea new materials and new equipment industry technology docking and exchange activities was held in Hangzhou. At the scene, the Zhejiang Deep Sea Engineering New Materials and Equipment Industry and Technology Innovation Alliance was formally established.

It is reported that the alliance is guided by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Marine Economic Development, led by the Ningbo Institute of Materials, Chinese Academy of Sciences (National Key Laboratory of Marine Key Materials), and co-initiated with 9 provincial advantageous units in the field. The first batch of 38 member units will be absorbed, covering the entire industry chain of scientific research institutes, materials companies, equipment manufacturing, and engineering applications.

The alliance is committed to opening up the complete chain of "materials research and development - component manufacturing - equipment integration - test verification - scenario application", playing the role of bridge and link, focusing on core technology research, collaborative cultivation of industrial chains, and government-enterprise service docking, breaking through the blockade in the transformation of achievements in the deep sea field, building a collaborative industrial ecology of industry, academia, research and application, and providing platform support for the high-quality development of Zhejiang's deep sea industry.

Zhang Lijun, member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Marine Economic Development, pointed out in his speech that Zhejiang has outstanding advantages in location, scientific research, and industry in developing deep-sea industries. It has gathered national-level scientific research forces such as the Second Institute of Oceanology, the Ningbo Institute of Materials, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the 715th Institute of CSSC, and has deployed multiple national key laboratories and deep-sea test platforms. It has built a relatively complete industrial chain from core devices, key materials to intelligent equipment. Currently, we are working hard to implement major scientific and technological projects for deep-sea intelligent equipment, focusing on breakthroughs in key technologies, and striving to achieve a total scale of deep-sea and related industries exceeding 500 billion yuan in 2030. In the next step, Zhejiang will strengthen innovative research, smooth transformation channels, optimize industrial ecology, and accelerate the construction of a national deep-sea industrial highland.

It is reported that the event focuses on the release of key technology research directions, technology and product supply and demand lists for new materials and new equipment in deep-sea engineering, and provides an in-depth introduction to the progress of China's deep-sea mining technology and equipment and the development status and trends of deep-sea oil and gas equipment technology. It aims to provide clear targets for industry-university-research collaborative research and promote accurate matching between supply and demand.
