en.Wedoany.com Reported - China Information and Communication Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CICT Group") and Wuhan University officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Wuhan on May 17. Centering on major national strategic needs, the two parties will build a full-chain collaborative system of "basic research - technological breakthrough - industrial application - talent support," focusing on cutting-edge key areas such as 5G/6G communications, next-generation optical networks, integrated circuits, and cybersecurity. They will jointly establish high-level scientific research platforms and collaborate on core technology breakthroughs.
According to the agreement, the cooperation will cover three major areas: scientific research innovation, talent cultivation, and resource sharing. At the scientific research innovation level, the two parties will jointly build high-level scientific research platforms, collaborate on key core technology breakthroughs, strive to solve bottleneck problems in industrial development, and promote the deep integration of the innovation chain and the industrial chain. At the talent cultivation level, the two parties will promote the two-way flow of high-level talents, deepen joint master's and doctoral training, and commit to building a team of outstanding engineers that meet industrial demands. At the resource sharing level, the two parties will open up scientific research facilities and information resources, accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements from the laboratory to the industrial end.
At the signing ceremony, He Shuping, Party Secretary and Chairman of CICT Group, reviewed the deep foundation of cooperation between the two sides in technical collaboration, talent cultivation, and achievement transformation. He pointed out that the next phase of cooperation will focus on three aspects: first, jointly building innovation platforms and collaboratively conducting research on frontier technologies and key technologies; second, jointly cultivating first-class talents, deepening the integration of industry and education and the school-enterprise co-education model, and creating a direct pathway for talent development; third, jointly promoting achievement transformation, improving the collaborative innovation mechanism for industry, academia, research, and application, and bridging the "last mile" in the transformation of scientific research achievements.
Zhu Kongjun, Party Secretary of Wuhan University, stated that Wuhan University and CICT Group have long maintained close cooperation with fruitful results. As both are located in the same city and have highly compatible disciplinary directions and industrial layouts, the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement is a strategic choice to seize the opportunities of the times and seek common development. In future cooperation, he expressed the hope that both sides will strengthen strategic alignment, enhance research on generic technologies, jointly build innovation platforms, deepen foreign-related cooperation, and co-cultivate outstanding talents, writing a new chapter of mutual pursuit and win-win cooperation between a prestigious university and a renowned enterprise.
CICT Group, headquartered in Wuhan, Hubei Province, is the birthplace of China's optical communications and one of the main proponents of international standards for mobile communications with core intellectual property rights. Its industries cover six major directions: optical communications, mobile communications, optoelectronics and integrated circuits, cybersecurity and special communications, intelligent applications, and computing power and data. Its products and technologies cover more than 100 countries and regions worldwide. Wuhan University possesses the most comprehensive "Big Information" discipline system in China, covering advantageous disciplines such as computer science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and surveying, mapping, and remote sensing. The geographical advantage of being in the same city and the highly compatible disciplinary and industrial layouts provide a solid foundation for this cooperation.
Previously, CICT Group and Wuhan University had joined hands on multiple occasions. In October 2025, the two parties, together with provincial universities and upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, jointly launched the "6G Technology and Industrial Innovation Action Initiative." Recently, the School of Electronic Information at Wuhan University also signed a cooperation agreement with CICT Mobile for the preparation and establishment of a 6G joint laboratory. The signing of this strategic cooperation agreement further upgrades the cooperative relationship between the two parties to a comprehensive and systematic strategic synergy. Representatives from multiple university departments, including the Graduate School, the Institute of Science and Technology Development, the Human Resources Department, the School of Electronic Information, the National School of Cybersecurity, and the State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping, and Remote Sensing, attended the signing event.
