(hereinafter referred to as CIRI), at the HBIS R&D Center, aiming to deepen collaborative efforts between the industrial chain and the innovation chain, jointly support national strategies, and promote high-quality development of the steel industry.
Lin Zhangguo, Deputy General Manager of the Group, Lin Cunzeng, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of China Iron & Steel Research Institute, and Zhao Dongliang, Member of the Party Committee Standing Committee and Deputy General Manager of China Iron & Steel Research Institute, attended the symposium.
Liu Jian welcomed the visit of Gao Hongbin and his delegation, and provided an overview of the Group’s initiatives to pursue high-end, intelligent, and green development. He noted that over the years, HBIS Group has maintained a strong and cooperative relationship with China Iron & Steel Research Institute, advancing mutually beneficial development through pragmatic collaboration. The 15th Five-Year Plan period represents a pivotal phase for HBIS as it transitions from “scale leadership” to “value-driven leadership.” To this end, HBIS will steadfastly implement its innovation-driven development strategy, deeply integrate technological innovation with industrial innovation, and continuously enhance both its business performance and core competitiveness. China Iron & Steel Research Institute is the largest comprehensive research, development, and high-tech industrialization institution in China’s metallurgical sector. It is hoped that the two parties will further deepen their multi-dimensional innovation cooperation, fully leverage their respective strengths, promote joint research on technologies and shared utilization of research outcomes, and make greater contributions to serving national strategies and jointly driving the transformation, upgrading, and high-quality development of the steel industry.
Gao Hongbin outlined the development direction of China Iron & Steel Research Institute during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. He stated that CIRS has maintained close communication and collaboration with HBIS Group, and that the jointly advanced project on process optimization and intelligent operations at Tangsteel New Area has become a benchmark for smart manufacturing in the steel industry, leading the sector’s transformation toward intelligent production and high-quality development. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, CIRS will stay true to its core responsibilities and main business, leverage its strengths, strengthen synergy, and strive to deliver higher-quality scientific and technological services. In areas such as steel materials R&D, smart manufacturing, green and low-carbon technologies, and talent development, CIRS and HBIS Group have ample opportunities for collaborative efforts. In light of major national strategies and the evolving needs of the steel industry, it is hoped that the two parties will join forces to deepen systematic innovation cooperation, promote the industrial application and engineering implementation of innovative solutions, and share the technological achievements and economic value generated by future development.
During the visit, Gao Hongbin and his delegation toured the HBIS Materials Technology Exhibition Hall. The two sides then each presented updates on their respective innovation initiatives and engaged in in-depth exchanges to further strengthen practical cooperation.
