On May 10th, the international scientific and technological project exchange meeting of Haizhi’s “Visiting School, Visiting Work and Visiting Window” and the 2024 China Tour of Overseas Scientific and Technological Talents-Ningbo Station were held in Zhenhai. Nearly 20 overseas scientific and technological talents from many countries, such as South Korea and Australia, held round-table exchanges with the functional departments of zhenhai district Science and Technology, Economics and Information, as well as the heads of government departments in Xiepu Town and representatives of intelligent manufacturing enterprises.
The event was hosted by Ningbo Academician and Overseas Intelligence Service Center, and undertaken by Ningbo Qidi Science Park Development Co., Ltd., aiming at inviting overseas innovative talents to visit Ningbo for exchanges and project docking around frontier strategic emerging industries such as artificial intelligence AI+, new materials and intelligent manufacturing, and introducing a group of high-end innovative and entrepreneurial talents and teams with core technologies and R&D capabilities to the local area through the bridge and link function of the event, so as to realize the gathering of overseas high-end intellectual resources.
“As a service platform for scientific and technological innovation, we will hold a number of high-level technical docking and exchange activities this year, face to face with talents at home and abroad, hand in hand, and jointly promote the seamless connection between talent think tanks, industrial demand terminals and business service terminals to improve the landing conversion rate of scientific and technological achievements.” Wang Nai, president of Zhejiang Qidi Kechuang Group and chairman of Ningbo Qidi Science and Technology Park, said.
As a traditional industrial town in Zhenhai, it is also the only town (street) unit among the organizers of this event. In recent years, Laipu Town has promoted the development of traditional industries such as equipment manufacturing from “intelligence” to “new”, increased the investment in high-tech industries, and guided the enterprises in the town to increase the investment in scientific and technological research and development through policy incentives, so as to increase the “new” content of industrial development. In the first quarter of this year, the town’s planned R&D expenses increased by 13% year-on-year, and a new overseas talent was introduced, and the town’s industrial added value increased by 10%.1%, ranking in the forefront of the region.
During the round-table exchange, Laipu Town introduced the general situation of local industries and resource endowments, as well as the future industrial planning ideas to overseas talents. Overseas talents, in combination with the research field, put forward suggestions on the continuous promotion of digitalization and all-round digital empowerment from the perspective of technology foresight and factor guarantee for the construction of “smart industry” and “digital factory” being promoted locally.
“With the construction of industrial blocks such as Lanwan Industrial Zone, the whole town will focus on the new qualitative development of the industry, and the help of high-energy talents is indispensable. This activity also provides an excellent platform for us to recruit talents and attract talents.” Chen Hengyang, the relevant person in charge of the Zhangpu Town Development Service Office, said.
On the same day, representatives of intellectual enterprises in Xiepu also participated in the activity. The forward-looking and overall technical advice of some talent experts has also benefited Zhenhai entrepreneurs a lot. Ruan Libin, the relevant person in charge of Ningbo Jialian Technology Co., Ltd. said: “At present, enterprises are taking the construction of the new factory area in Lanwan Block as an opportunity to create new production technologies, and the exchange of technical views has also inspired our innovative ideas, so we can try a new round of technical consultations.”
In the next step, the district and town levels will also deepen the results of this round-table exchange, and accurately match the landing elements for the supply side and demand side that collided in the exchange, thus promoting substantive progress.
