To realize the vision of carbon neutrality, green manufacturing industries such as new materials will play an important role. Graphene, a new carbon material, has application potential in the main technical direction of carbon neutralization.

In recent years, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province has adhered to market-oriented, government-oriented, enterprises and talents as the main body, continued investment, activated the endogenous driving force of innovation and entrepreneurship, and cultivated an industry-leading graphene industrial ecology and cluster. Changzhou graphene industry has embarked on a unique and original development path of emerging industries with the main path of building a platform, introducing talents, incubating enterprises and cultivating industries.

Self reliance and self-improvement “Oriental carbon Valley” from “concept” to “practice”

In 2011, Changzhou municipal and district governments invested 50 million yuan to launch Jiangnan graphene Research Institute and build Changzhou graphene science and Technology Industrial Park, with a total investment of 2 billion yuan.

“When many people don’t know what graphene is, Changzhou bravely breaks through the no man’s land of innovation and walks out of a unique path of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology.” Feng Guanping, honorary president of Jiangnan graphene Research Institute, said that through the “innovative combination” of government Angel funds, industrial research institutes, entrepreneurial team incubation and park construction, Changzhou’s graphene industry has become the forefront.

More than 150 scientific and technological achievements have been transformed from “original graphene research” to “key market” and a large number of scientific and technological achievements have been created.

Mechanism innovation and building a new ecosystem of industry full cycle service

After more than ten years of development, Changzhou graphene industry has built an entrepreneurship incubation carrier system integrating “Research Institute – maker space – Incubator – accelerator – Industrial Park – characteristic town” with West Taihu Lake as the main position, and built a number of new R & D platforms such as Jiangsu graphene innovation center, carbon materials Research Institute of Changzhou University and West Taihu Industrial College of Nanjing University of technology, A public service system covering R & D and design, entrepreneurship incubation, inspection and testing, standard formulation, product certification, intellectual property rights, information and intelligence, market promotion, investment and financing has been formed.

The innovation chain and talent chain are integrated in two directions, and the “double recruitment and double introduction” Wujin mode driven by the two wheels of industrial chain and capital chain has accelerated.

With the introduction and introduction of advanced materials, the zone will play a “leading role” in the development of industrial clusters, and create a “good industrial chain” with the introduction and introduction of advanced materials.

It is understood that in the future, Wujin will build the advanced carbon material industry represented by graphene into the leading industry of Changzhou “two lakes Innovation Zone” and a landmark industry with distinct recognition, so as to make this “Oriental carbon Valley” contribute more Wujin strength.

There are more than 150 original graphene products with fruitful results

At the same time, Changzhou aims at key elements, key technologies and key markets to promote the high-end application of graphene.

Zhang Ming, President of Jiangnan graphene Research Institute, said that the innovation of system and mechanism has stimulated the vitality of innovation. In 2018, Changzhou integrated graphene Research Institute with West Taihu science and Technology Industrial Park, and established Jiangnan graphene Technology Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 500 million yuan, realizing a new model of seamless integration of Industrial Research Institute, industrial park platform and industrial fund.

Over the past decade, Changzhou graphene industry has actively explored the fields of raw materials and downstream applications, and created a number of influential technological achievements. Among them, the graphene cooling film for intelligent electronic products developed by Changzhou fullerene has realized industrialization. Up to now, Changzhou has formed more than 150 original graphene products, with 14 original achievements.

“In the next five years, we will introduce and cultivate 100 graphene teams and 300 graphene enterprises, strive to build a 100 billion level graphene industry, build a cluster demonstration area for the development of China’s graphene original emerging industries and a competitive high-tech industrialization highland of graphene new materials.” Dai Zhihua, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Changzhou West Taihu science and Technology Industrial Park, said.
