On February 24th, the 2nd Yangtze River Delta Superconducting Industry Development Summit Forum was held in Shanghai. Dong Yunhu, Chairman of Shanghai CPPCC, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech. Zhang Wei, Vice Mayor of Shanghai Municipal Government, presented certificates to representatives of Academic Committee members of Shanghai Superconducting Manufacturing Innovation Center. Shou Ziqi, Vice Chairman of Shanghai CPPCC and Chairman of Shanghai Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce, delivered a speech at the opening ceremony. Chen Mingbo, Deputy Secretary-General of Shanghai Municipal Government presided over the event, and leaders of Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission and Baoshan District attended.
Mr. Dong pointed out that the new material industry is a strategic and fundamental industry and a key field of high-tech competition. According to the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, Shanghai is taking new materials as one of the six key industries promoted by the city's layout, making overall plans to drive the high-end development of advanced basic materials, the serialization of key strategic materials, the large-scale development of characteristic materials, and the industrial application of cutting-edge new materials, so as to accelerate the cultivation of advanced materials industrial clusters. It is hoped that the Yangtze River Delta region will jointly carry out key core technology research, jointly promote the layout of superconducting industry, and jointly build the economic highland, industrial talent highland, technology source highland and technology application highland of superconducting industry. Efforts should be made to strengthen the source of innovation strategies, deepen the cooperation and docking of superconducting industry alliances in the Yangtze River Delta, strengthen the industrial chain coordination in innovation chain, and build an innovation community with cross-border integration and deep integration. Efforts should be made to strengthen the transformation of achievements, continuously expand superconducting applications in key areas, and open up the "last mile" of superconducting technology from R&D to application and commercialization, so as to form a good development trend of intensive efforts and accelerated breakthroughs. Efforts should also be made to strengthen policy supply, focus on the superconducting industrial system, further promote platform construction, policy supply and pilot demonstration, and create an industrial cluster ecology with accurate service and strong guarantee. With a strong sense of responsibility and mission, we should deepen cooperation, work together, overcome difficulties, seize the commanding heights of the development of global superconducting industry, and make new and greater contributions to building China into a world power in science and technology, and strengthening the source of scientific and technological innovation and the leading function of high-end industries in the Yangtze River Delta.
