    At the Shanghai Automotive Fastener Exhibition held in June, a cold heading machine capable of producing 250 nuts and bolts per minute attracted significant attention from customers. This is currently the fastest cold heading machine in China, developed by a certain machinery company in Ningbo with the support of Shanghai University, and included in the 2012 National Major Technological Equipment Independent Innovation Special Project. By the end of June this year, the Ningbo R&D Park has gathered 13 technology transfer centers from prestigious universities such as Zhejiang University and Fudan University, as well as 5 academician studios, effectively compensating for the "shortcomings" of our city's research institutions and establishing "green" technology channels directly to university laboratories.
      "The R&D Park is the core area of independent innovation in Ningbo. In the recently concluded first round of three-year policy support, the high-tech zone's finance invested a total of 14.8 million yuan, leveraging 1,095 technical cooperation projects between technology transfer centers, academician studios, and Ningbo enterprises, with a contract amount of 436 million yuan, serving a total of 1,910 enterprises," said Lv Xiyun, director of the Ningbo R&D Park Management Service Center.
The co-construction of R&D institutions has made the cooperation between industry, academia, and research more solid and normalized. Shanghai Jiao Tong University, leveraging its technological advantages in the field of polymer materials in China, has co-established a research and development center with Ningbo Pioneer New Materials Co., Ltd. (300163, stock bar), developing new types of fabrics that are environmentally friendly, energy-saving, UV-resistant, antibacterial, flame-retardant, and thermal insulation, filling domestic gaps. The project "Preparation Technology of PVC Composite Materials and Development of Its Series Products," jointly declared by both parties, won the second prize for scientific and technological progress in Ningbo. According to statistics, the number of R&D institutions co-established by technology transfer centers and academician studios from prestigious universities with Ningbo enterprises has reached 35.
Technology transfer centers and academician studios are also the most reliable "external brains" for Ningbo enterprises. The academician studio led by Academician Tan Jianrong from the Chinese Academy of Engineering is dedicated to technological research and development in the mechanical industry, and has established long-term strategic partnerships with Ningbo Jifeng Automotive, Zhejiang Dafeng Sports, Risheng Group, Ningbo Weike Optoelectronics, and other enterprises, solving R&D design management difficulties for these companies. By June of this year, the studio has conducted over 60 cooperation projects with enterprises, involving more than 30 million yuan.
