The Taizhou bureau of science and technology recently issued a notice for the official recognition of municipal engineering technology research centers this year.
Two centers run by enterprises from the Taixing Huangqiao Economic Development Zone, located in Taixing city, administered by Taizhou, East China's Jiangsu province, were placed on the list.
They are the nickel preplating steel strip for power lithium battery engineering technology research center, operated by Jiangsu Dongfang Jiutian New Energy Materials, and the clean room purification engineering technology research center operated by Jiangsu Jieshun Electromechanical Equipment.
In recent years, the zone has focused on developing key industries such as bio-fermentation, new materials and intelligent manufacturing.
By integrating resources from universities, research institutions and enterprises, the zone has constructed a technology innovation system.
This combines industry, academia, research and applications, dedicated to promoting regional scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading.
At present, there are five provincial-level engineering technology research centers and eight municipal engineering technology research centers in the zone.
The establishment of an engineering technology research center provides a platform for an enterprise to boost its independent innovation capabilities and build a multi-level technological innovation system layout.
