The morning of December 29 witnessed contract signing and unveiling ceremony of Suzhou Industrial Technology Research Institute Nano Application Technology Research Institute in Chinese Academy of Sciences Suzhou Nano Institute, attended by Lu Chunyun, Vice Mayor of Suzhou City, Zhang Dongchi, Director of Suzhou Science and Technology Bureau, Lin Xiaoming, Deputy Director of Suzhou Industrial Park Management Committee, Ni Qian, Deputy Director of Suzhou Industrial Park Management Committee, Yang Hui, Director of Chinese Academy of Sciences Suzhou Nano Institute, Liu Qing, President of Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute, and Feng Xiang, President of Suzhou Industrial Technology Research Institute.

 

Derived from restructuring of Chinese Academy of Sciences Suzhou Nano Institute, Nano Application Technology Research Institute highlights scientific research institution and mechanism innovation, witnessing the clear demonstration role and leading significance. Scientific research institutes have their scientific research support methods, personnel evaluation and professional title evaluation mechanism, technology research and development carried out by traditional scientific research institutes or colleges and universities, focus on the frontier domains,  different from actual market demands. The former is oriented to publishing papers and applying for patents, focusing on scientific and technological creativity, without considering specific issues of cost and production, while enterprise goals are to meet market demands, focusing on mass production, stable performance and low cost.

 

Therefore, the positioning deviation between the two is subject to making scientific researchers "value R&D and despise production, value indicators and despise costs." It can be said that the most important reason for industrialization of high original results is lack of a platform for transformation from science to products. This is an important reason why research results of domestic and foreign scientific research institutes, colleges and universities cannot be effectively industrialized.

As a bold innovation, Nano Application Technology Research Institute restructuring model stimulates vitality of technology transformation to industry. Establishing a market-oriented professional research institute outside the system can share strong scientific research strength and first-class scientific talents of scientific research institutes, getting rid of constraints of the traditional system, establishing a convenient and efficient channel between technology and industry. This model can complete engineering and commercialization of high original scientific research results at low cost and in a short time, shortening cycles of scientific research products, grasping the best market window period of scientific research results, accelerating product listing, and finally realizing technology industrialization.

 

Nano Application Technology Research Institute is the first settled technology institute project after operation of Suzhou Industrial Technology Research Institute. Its development adheres to the principles of "multi-party co-construction, multi-input, mixed ownership, and team-oriented", combination of investment and appropriation, team holding large shares, fully motivating the team.

 

As one of the first co-construction projects of the provincial and municipal institutes, the signing of Nano Application Technology Research Institute marks a sound start of cooperation between Suzhou Industrial Technology Research Institute and Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute. As one of the co-constructors, Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute played an active guiding role in the development of Nano Application Technology Research Institute, laying a solid foundation for multi-party co-construction. Since establishment, Suzhou Industrial Technology Research Institute, has received vigorous help from Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute, it will further refer to outstanding practice and experience, strengthening linkage with Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute, steadily promoting cooperation.

 

Nano Application Technology Research Institute innovation model has received extensive attention from the province and city mainstream media.
