General Secretary has just been here | Bravely climbed the peak of technological self-reliance and self-improvement | Optoelectronics | Products | General Secretary

In June, by the side of Jinji Lake, the wind is pleasant, the trees are shaded, and the roads are clean. As we step into the Suzhou Industrial Park Exhibition Center, modern technological elements come rushing towards us, including biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, equipment manufacturing, electronic information... A set of data showcases the brilliant achievements of Suzhou Industrial Park in the past thirty years; Each achievement represents a solid foundation for technological self-reliance and self-improvement; Each photo vividly illustrates the beautiful vision of Suzhou Industrial Park, where "one blueprint is drawn to the end" is reflected in reality.

We will continue to expand international cooperation and strive to build a world-class high-tech park that is open and innovative.

Over the course of thirty years, sharpen a sword and stick to a blueprint to the end. On one wall of the exhibition center, there are three giant images of the industrial park, representing the three stages of the park in 1994, 2012, and 2022, showcasing the development and changes of Suzhou Industrial Park. Although the time span is thirty years, the planning has not changed, and the gradually towering buildings have not affected the reasonable layout of the park, truly achieving the perfect integration of people, nature, and the city.

In 1994, Suzhou Industrial Park was established with the approval of the State Council. It is an important cooperation project between the governments of China and Singapore. The fish ponds and paddy fields outside the city have been transformed into a modern park in China. When Suzhou Industrial Park opened up to the outside world, it brainstormed and accumulated "service rules" that are in line with China's national conditions and have independent characteristics. The economic and social operation mechanism of rule consciousness as the first criterion has been used to this day.

Technological innovation requires persistent investment and the determination to sit on the bench. For thirty years, industrial parks have always regarded technological self-reliance and self-improvement as the goal of entrepreneurship, and have utilized institutional advantages to bring countless patents to fruition. In 2022, the proportion of R&D investment in the entire society of the park to GDP increased to 5.01%, and the output value of the three emerging industries of biopharmaceuticals, nanotechnology applications, and artificial intelligence exceeded 360 billion yuan, with a growth rate maintained at around 20%.

"The earnest instructions from General Secretary have strengthened our determination to increase investment in scientific and technological research and development," said Zhang Qiao, Deputy Mayor of Suzhou, excitedly. "We are immensely honored to receive this encouragement. According to General Secretary's guidance, Suzhou will further fully play the role of enterprise entities, continuously climb towards the high-end of the industrial chain value chain, and promote the transformation of economic development mode from resource driven to innovation driven, not to disappoint General Secretary's care and love."

Subsequently, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Suzhou Huaxing Yuanchuang Technology Co., Ltd. for an inspection. He walked into the exhibition hall, R & D workshop, and photoelectric laboratory to inspect the product development, production, and testing processes, and asked about the performance, use, and market of the company's equipment products.

Suzhou Huaxing Yuanchuang Technology Co., Ltd., headquartered in Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu Province, is an internationally leading provider of industrial testing equipment and systems. The company continues to grow and expand in the fields of flat panel displays, semiconductors, and automotive electronics, following market development. It provides customers with automated testing equipment from upstream chips, midstream modules, and downstream whole machine manufacturing process nodes. At present, there are 2200 personnel, with R&D personnel accounting for 43%. In the past four years since its listing, the proportion of R&D investment has exceeded 15%, making it one of the largest global manufacturers of touch detection devices for flat panel displays and one of the most competitive semiconductor testing equipment providers in China.

"I introduced the testing instruments for our tablet equipment to the General Secretary, who occasionally asked me about the equipment's performance and research and development progress." Chen Wenyuan, Chairman of Suzhou Huaxing Yuanchuang Technology Co., Ltd., recalled the scene when the General Secretary came, which is still vivid in his mind.

"A thin LCD screen as thin as a cicada's wings can complete various performance tests in milliseconds..." The content introduced is precisely the scientific research achievements of the company's internal so-called "Everest team". In the past, the testing business in this field was monopolized by foreign enterprises. After 7 years of hard work and hardships, Huaxing Yuanchuang filled the gap in domestic expertise in this field and took solid steps on the road to climbing Everest.

"The motherland provides a broad stage for young people, and we are born at the right time, not to waste our youth," said Xiong Xing.

He said that the modernization construction of the country has provided a broad stage for young people. At the right time, everyone should seize historical opportunities, showcase their skills, and bravely climb the heights of technology. In the future, you will definitely be proud of your contributions to national rejuvenation.

The words of General Secretary echoed in the R&D workshop, giving young people stronger motivation! Everyone rolled up their sleeves, ready to sow the sweat of youth in this song of struggle. "In the future, we will always regard technological self-reliance and self-improvement as our mission, fully utilize the advantages of Jiangsu's industrial chain and talent, accelerate the research and development of the latest products and technologies, and transform achievements." Chen Wenyuan said, "We will also continue to attach importance to the research and development capabilities of young talents, accelerate the attraction of various high-end talents at home and abroad, target key links in the company's industrial chain, always grasp key core technologies in our hands, and make the greatest efforts for further technological innovation and self-reliance."
