On December 9, the inauguration ceremony of Foshan Taoyuan Advanced Manufacturing Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as the "Research Institute") was held in Foshan High-tech Zone. It will promote the industrial application of surface coating technology for modern materials and create innovations in the production and research of advanced coatings for high-end equipment. Demonstration platform to promote the transformation and upgrading of Foshan's high-end equipment industry.

With the approval of the Foshan Municipal People's Government, the institute is jointly constructed by the Foshan High-tech Zone Management Committee, the Nanhai Park Administration of Foshan High-tech Zone, and the Institute of New Materials of the Guangdong Academy of Sciences. Zhou Kesong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, served as the honorary chairman of the Academy, and Dai Mingjiang, the director of the Institute of New Materials of the Guangdong Academy of Sciences, served as the chairman.

The Research Institute will focus on the needs of major national projects and key industries to carry out the transformation of relevant scientific and technological achievements of the Guangdong New Materials Research Institute, as well as the research and development of modern material surface coating technology, achievement docking, transfer and incubation, project (enterprise) introduction, and provide technical support, Project development, information, consultation, publicity, cooperation and exchange, and personnel training services.

At the unveiling ceremony, Chen Jingcai, chairman of Guangdong Yizumi Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., is looking forward to the future cooperation with the institute. At present, the company has applied the technology of the institute for small batch production of some parts and components, and the effect is very good. 

"Foshan is building an advanced manufacturing innovation center with global influence with its profound innovation genes. Today, innovative and developed surface coating technologies are rooted in the fertile soil of Foshan manufacturing and have achieved the birth of Foshan Taoyuan Advanced Manufacturing Research Institute." Chinese Academy of Engineering Academician Zhou Kesong said.

Regarding the future development of the Institute, Zhou Kesong suggested that one is concept innovation. The most important thing for innovation is to emancipate the mind, and use new concepts, new methods and new measures to guide the new practice of the Institute; the other is planning and guidance, the Institute The top-level design must be done well; the third is to use a scientific, democratic, and efficient organization and operation mechanism to protect the health of young people; the fourth is to strengthen the foundation of talents, and talents to develop careers. We must do a good job in the construction of the talent team, hoping to inherit and develop the province. The New Materials Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences has the team spirit and good style of seeking truth and being pragmatic, persevering, pioneering and innovative.

Gong Guoping, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, pointed out that Foshan is a big manufacturing city and a hot spot for innovation and entrepreneurship. It is full of innovative genes. The Taoyuan Advanced Manufacturing Research Institute established by the strong alliance can promote the development of Foshan’s manufacturing industry. Technological advancement and promotion provide better services.

Cai Jiahua, member of the Standing Committee of the Foshan Municipal Party Committee, Executive Deputy Mayor, and Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Foshan High-tech Zone, said that Foshan Taoyuan Advanced Manufacturing Research Institute is committed to creating a demonstration platform for production and research innovation of advanced coatings for high-end equipment, and launching key core technologies and common technologies for modern materials. Research can use cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements in the field of new materials to empower Foshan's manufacturing, which will help Foshan seize the commanding heights and development initiative of the new round of industrial competition, and promote Foshan's manufacturing to accelerate the transformation of Foshan's smart manufacturing.

"Next, the Foshan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government will fully support the construction of Taoyuan Advanced Manufacturing Research Institute, and conscientiously provide personal services in various aspects such as strengthening infrastructure facilities and improving the efficiency of government services. Foshan High-tech Zone and Nanhai District must take the initiative. With a high sense of responsibility and mission, it provides a reliable guarantee for the construction and development of the Institute." Cai Jiahua said.

"The New Materials Research Institute of Guangdong Academy of Sciences is leading the country in terms of thermal spraying, vacuum coating, laser manufacturing, surface analysis and testing. The implementation of the system technology of the academician Zhou Kesong team will greatly help and promote the development of the entire industry in Foshan. "Said Pan Dongsheng, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Foshan High-tech Zone.

After the unveiling ceremony, Academician Zhou Kesong and his entourage visited the exhibition hall of Foshan High-tech Zone and learned about the development of the high-tech zone's overall plan, characteristic industries and social undertakings. Visitors have expressed that the high-tech zone has achieved remarkable development results and achieved remarkable results, and it is a high-speed and high-quality place for Foshan's economic development.
