Speech by Cao Chaowei, the executive director

Cao Chaowei, the executive director of Jiangsu Liyuan 3D Co., Ltd., first extended a warm welcome to Dean Du and his party. He introduced the company as a high-tech enterprise dedicated to the research and development, production, sales and technical services of sand mold 3D printing equipment and its raw materials, as well as the basic situation of the company. He pointed out that no matter how powerful an enterprise is, its own energy is limited, and the company needs to absorb external forces. Zhongyuan University of Technology is one of the earliest universities in Henan Province to enter the research field of additive manufacturing, and has a good research foundation. Today, the two sides signed a 2.1 million yuan industry university research cooperation agreement. At the same time, Jiangsu Liyuan 3D, as the postgraduate education innovation training base of Zhongyuan University of Technology, will help Jiangsu Liyuan 3D rapid development. Its wings will become harder and its flying speed will become faster.

President Yu Wanxiang, on behalf of Taicang Henan Chamber of Commerce, welcomed the arrival of our school. At present, Taicang Henan Chamber of Commerce has nearly 300 member enterprises, covering machinery manufacturing, medical equipment, automobile parts, aviation technology, robot intelligent equipment, intelligence and Internet, etc. President Yu hoped that Taicang Henan Chamber of Commerce can play a role in building a bridge between Henan Universities and Henan enterprises to carry out industry university research cooperation in Taicang. Taking this cooperation as an opportunity, we can seize the opportunity, develop together and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

Dean Du introduced the situation of the University and the school in detail, and pointed out that the signing of Zhongyuan University of Technology and Jiangsu Liyuan 3D industry university research project and the establishment of "Postgraduate Education Innovation Training Base" marked the beginning of deep cooperation between the two sides. She hoped that both sides could continue to strengthen cooperation, jointly solve technical problems, and give full play to the advantages of universities and enterprises in academic team, technical projects, scientific research platform and other aspects, and continuously improve the postgraduate training level of our school. We believe that today's establishment can make a better step forward for postgraduate training and scientific research cooperation in the future.

Director Zhang Ronghai congratulated Zhongyuan University of Technology on signing the contract with Jiangsu Liyuan 3D industry university research project and the establishment of "Postgraduate Education Innovation Training Base". At the same time, he introduced the basic situation of Taicang High-tech Development Zone in Jiangsu Province. Taicang City ranks seventh in comprehensive strength, second in innovation ability and second in green development among the top 100 counties in China，and has 210 high-tech enterprises. It has formed a regional innovation ecology with an open entrepreneurial environment and a strong atmosphere of international cooperation and innovation. He pointed out that the development of high-tech enterprises can not be separated from the support of colleges and universities. The cooperation between Jiangsu Liyuan 3D and Zhongyuan University of Technology is a good start. We believe that the cooperation between the university and the enterprise will become more and more prosperous!
