In the quest to overcome the "Valley of Death," Guangdong drives the tangible realization of technological achievements. The Foshan Industrial Technology Research Institute of the Guangdong Academy of Sciences plays a crucial role in this effort, amalgamating innovative resources to address Foshan's industrial demands.
Focusing on intelligent manufacturing, electronic information, new materials, and bio-health sectors, the institute propels the conversion and implementation of scientific advancements in Foshan. Liang Daming, Deputy Director of the Foshan Science and Technology Bureau, highlights efforts to nurture small and medium-sized enterprises into high-tech entities.
Since its inception in 2018, the institute has incubated numerous technological breakthroughs. Zhang Guanwen, CEO of Guangdong DITEE Scientific & Technical, underscores the challenge of translating scientific innovation into market-ready products, presenting the concept of the "Valley of Death." Overcoming this requires policy breakthroughs and support mechanisms like pilot testing platforms, which are especially beneficial for small enterprises.
Today, many tech enterprises nurtured by the Foshan Industrial Technology Research Institute have become pioneers of new productivity in Foshan and the Greater Bay Area. Ding Minglei, researcher of Chinese Academy of Science and Technology for Development reflects on the manufacturing industry's shift towards high-end, intelligent processes, and the emerging trend of industry integration, posing new challenges and opportunities for talent development and guiding future industrial direction.
