On December 26th, 2018, the "Hard Technology" Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition of Sino-British Science and Technology Exchange will be held in Zhengzhou High-tech Zone Financial Plaza. The event was jointly sponsored by the High-tech Zone Management Committee and China-UK Science and Technology Innovation Platform. Zhengzhou High-tech Zone Financial Plaza and Zhengzhou High-tech Zone Listed Company Service Association. It is understood that the "Hard Science and Technology" Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition aims to promote the exchanges between China and Britain in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship, build a bridge for excellent enterprises in Henan Province to introduce overseas technology and acquire overseas projects, introduce excellent overseas innovation projects and innovative talents for Henan Province, and promote the development of scientific and technological innovation in Henan Province.
What is hard technology? According to the inquiry, hard technology is a high-tech represented by artificial intelligence, genetic technology, aerospace, new materials, etc. It is a high-tech with long-term R&D investment accumulation, which has a very high threshold and is difficult to be copied and imitated.
At present, Zheng Luoxin National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone has become an important and beautiful business card for Henan's development, with the ability to undertake the transfer and transformation of larger-scale and higher-level industries and technologies. Zheng Luoxin's self-created area is vigorously implementing the innovation-oriented industrial cluster project, and the demand for industrial innovation is strong. It has become a hot spot for investment and development with great potential and a place full of opportunities for entrepreneurs.
The guiding units of this activity include the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the UK and the UK branch of the Excellent Self-Award Association. The supporting units are Henan Development and Reform Commission, Henan Science and Technology Department, Henan Foreign Affairs Office, Overseas Liaison Committee of Henan Provincial Committee of Zhi Gong Dang and Zhengzhou Science and Technology Bureau.
The activities are divided into morning and afternoon sessions, mainly including Sino-British technology transfer and exchange symposium, roadshow of the final project and awards, etc. The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition collects "hard science and technology" projects for the whole UK. The project teams come from famous British universities such as Oxford University and Cambridge University, and the technology applications cover many fields such as energy conservation and environmental protection, biopharmaceuticals, aerospace, artificial intelligence, new materials and so on.
Seven projects are full of scientific and technological content, and the new material project of air pollution control of the University of Liverpool team has been approved by American patents and supported by the start-up fund of the British Engineering and Natural Science Research Council (EPSRC).
The breakthrough of key technologies of the team optical multi-axis high-precision torque sensor and AI intelligent sensing project of King's College London University will provide high-quality data sources for robotics, medical devices, biopharmaceuticals, aerospace, chip manufacturing, drones and other industries, which has important theoretical significance and practical value.
The new wireless charging equipment project of the University of Liverpool team can bring huge economic and social benefits in today's society with the increasingly serious aging of population, the increasing number of people living alone and the rapid popularization of portable devices.
The Oxford University team's project based on the application of the energy storage system of lithium manganese iron phosphate battery, the related technology has reached the international leading level. Through the health management of batteries, by monitoring the key parameters of batteries, the input and output of batteries can be balanced, and the life of batteries can be prolonged as much as possible while ensuring the smooth output of power, thus reducing the cost.
The Cambridge University Team Aviation Composite Project, as a lightweight and high-performance material applied to air vehicles and vehicles to directly reduce energy consumption and exhaust emissions, has developed into the main direction, important approach and main trend of global environmental protection.
Nottingham University team's new mercury removal adsorbent technology can be applied to the removal and purification of any air heavy metals and other toxic and carcinogenic pollutants, and different adsorbent technologies are designed based on different industry characteristics.
Manchester University team smart city current sensor project, the products mainly serve the power grid and high-speed rail operating companies, and are directly connected to the power grid system as detection equipment to help monitor and improve the detection speed and accuracy of current signals and deal with possible faults more quickly.
At present, the research and development of "hard technology" has been strongly supported by the government. Some experts in the industry pointed out that the trinity of R&D, production and application will form a "hard science and technology industry ecosystem". Now there is a consensus in the investment community that it is necessary to invest in technology, especially hard technology. In the next decade, there will be two key words in science and technology investment: hard science and technology and globalization. With the globalization of China's "hard technology" and the development of foreign technology enterprises using the Chinese market, there will be huge investment opportunities.
China UK Technology and Innovation Platform was established in the UK with the support of the United Front Work Department of Henan Provincial Committee, Henan Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, Henan Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, Hainan Office of Henan Provincial Committee of Zhi Gong Dang, Henan Branch of European and American Alumni Association, All-UK Henan Fellowship Association and All-UK Henan Chamber of Commerce. In conjunction with the National Technology Transfer Center of Henan Province, the platform integrates the resources of the British government, institutions and enterprises with the help of the Hailian Office of Henan Provincial Committee of Zhi Gong Dang, Henan Branch of the European and American Alumni Association and local British institutions, carries out the innovative development of bilateral high-tech projects, talents, intellectual property rights and capital between China and Britain, and actively promotes the construction of the "Returned Overseas Chinese to serve the country and shine in the Central Plains" project for outstanding overseas students and talents.
