en.Wedoany.com Reported - The CRRC Group's National Science and Technology Innovation Platform Collaborative Innovation Consortium was officially established on June 25, 2026, in Qingdao, Shandong Province, accelerating the advancement of a "open, collaborative, new quality, integrated, globally oriented, and independently controllable" large-scale innovation system. Leaders and experts from the National Railway Administration, Shandong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, Qingdao Municipal Government, CRRC, and universities such as Tongji University attended the meeting.
CRRC Group (abbreviated as "CRRC") is the world's leading manufacturer of rail transit equipment, headquartered in Beijing, with products exported to over 110 countries and regions worldwide. Sun Yongcai, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of CRRC Group, pointed out in his speech that the current global technological competition is rapidly shifting towards basic frontier fields, and rail transit equipment is moving towards high-speed, intelligent, and green development. The reserve of underlying original technologies directly determines the upper limit of industrial competition. Establishing the Collaborative Innovation Consortium aims to strengthen technological source generation capabilities, bridge the gap between basic research and engineering validation, build a systematic platform covering the entire innovation cycle, and aggregate domestic and international advantageous resources with a broader vision.
Currently, CRRC possesses 12 national science and technology innovation platforms, including 3 national key laboratories, 1 national technology innovation center, 5 national industrial technology engineering centers, 1 national manufacturing innovation center, and 2 "Belt and Road" joint laboratories. The innovation consortium will advance the main entity cultivation project, strengthen the enterprise's role as the main body of scientific and technological innovation, establish a multi-party collaborative decision-making platform for "industry-academia-research-application," and collaborate with universities, research institutes, and upstream and downstream industry chain organizations to undertake major scientific research cluster projects.
Upon the establishment of the consortium, CRRC has endowed the National Technology Innovation Center for High-Speed Trains with a new strategic positioning: to aggregate domestic and international innovation and industrial resources, conduct frontier basic common technology research and technology foresight, lead research on new train architecture technologies, organize original technology source generation, build an innovation ecosystem platform, promote technology transfer and capability building; drive cross-field, cross-disciplinary, and cross-professional collaboration, and form innovation alliances; establish platforms for concept validation, pilot testing, and application demonstration; and organize and implement the National Natural Science Foundation of China CRRC Joint Fund projects.
The Collaborative Innovation Consortium will focus on strengthening overall management and resource allocation, promoting platform system synergy and overall empowerment, enhancing capabilities in organizing major tasks, key technology collaborative research, and achievement transformation and application, fostering task expansion, resource sharing, and complementary advantages, cultivating major achievements and high-level talent, and continuously improving the quality, efficiency, and industry influence of platform construction and operation. The establishment of this Collaborative Innovation Consortium will help CRRC better achieve dual-track and dual-cluster industrial compatibility, multi-dimensional system integration, full lifecycle connectivity, and efficient digital and intelligent empowerment, elevating CRRC's R&D system construction and technological innovation practices to a new level.
