en.Wedoany.com Reported - In recent years, the advanced dairy manufacturing cluster in Hohhot, China, has effectively promoted industrial upgrading through innovation-driven development and the leadership of major enterprises. Relying on the National Dairy Technology Innovation Center, the cluster implements models such as "unveiling the list and appointing the leader" and "horse racing system" to bridge the conversion channel from laboratory to production line. The center has cumulatively carried out 239 scientific research projects, applied for 119 patents, and released 17 standards, establishing a comprehensive innovation network.
The cluster has built a collaborative innovation pattern of "global talent attraction + domestic synergy," promoting cooperation between enterprises like Yili and Mengniu with international institutions such as Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands and Massey University in New Zealand. It also collaborates with domestic research forces including China Agricultural University and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, focusing on milk source optimization and product innovation. The results of Yili's cooperation with Wageningen University have been applied to high-end liquid milk products. The probiotic strains independently developed by Mengniu are used in its Youyi C product. The Brucella attenuated vaccine developed by Jinyu Baoling is being promoted in multiple provinces and regions.
The cluster supports Yili and Mengniu in extending towards the high end of the global industrial chain, while simultaneously cultivating specialized, sophisticated, distinctive, and innovative SMEs, forming a tiered development pattern.
