On the morning of March 26, 2026, a delegation led by Director Shu Guangmei from Guangzhou College of Commerce visited SMART CREATION VALLEY for exchanges on industry-university-research cooperation. Zhang Yanqin, General Manager of SMART CREATION VALLEY, warmly received the guests and presided over the exchange forum. Both sides conducted in-depth discussions on cooperation details, kicking off in-depth industry-university-research collaboration.


Working Together for Common Goals
At the beginning of the meeting, General Manager Zhang Yanqin extended a warm welcome to the delegation and gave a detailed introduction to the development of SMART CREATION VALLEY. As an innovation hub focusing on emerging industries such as intelligent manufacturing and digital economy, the park gathers high-quality enterprise resources and a comprehensive innovation service system, striving to drive regional industrial upgrading. The talent pool and technological strengths of universities serve as core driving forces for the park’s development.



Director Shu Guangmei spoke highly of the innovative achievements of SMART CREATION VALLEY, and then introduced the disciplinary characteristics, scientific research capabilities and talent training orientation of Guangzhou College of Commerce. Adhering to the philosophy of "integrating education with industry and strengthening university-enterprise cooperation", the university is committed to cultivating application-oriented talents. Both parties expect to accurately align talent training with industrial demands and realize mutual empowerment between university education and enterprise development.



Two Key Cooperation Directions Confirmed
During the forum, the two sides fully exchanged ideas on industry-university-research cooperation and reached two preliminary consensus:
1. Jointly Build Talent Training Bases
The two parties plan to build internship and practical training bases together and launch order-based talent training programs. Curriculums will be optimized according to job requirements of enterprises in the park to deliver high-quality application-oriented talents and solve the talent shortage of enterprises.
2. Accelerate the Commercialization of Scientific and Technological Achievements
A docking platform will be built to connect university research achievements with enterprise demands. Both sides will focus on tackling key industrial technologies, and promote the transformation of laboratory research into actual production lines, forming a virtuous cycle where universities yield research outcomes, enterprises achieve technological breakthroughs and industries realize sound development.
The meeting was held in a cordial and active atmosphere. Both sides agreed to advance cooperation with an open mindset, shifting from one-way connection to in-depth integration to ensure tangible cooperation results.

Embark on a New Chapter of Cooperation
This exchange marks a crucial step for Guangzhou College of Commerce and SMART CREATION VALLEY to build an industry-university-research cooperation platform and has laid a solid foundation for future collaboration. Going forward, a special working group will be set up immediately to refine cooperation plans, clarify timetables, and accelerate the construction of internship bases and joint project applications, so as to deliver the first batch of cooperation achievements at an early date.
In-depth industry-university-research integration is a core engine for innovation and development. The partnership between the university and the industrial park not only builds a communication bridge between academia and industry, but also injects new vitality into regional industrial upgrading and talent cultivation. It is believed that with deepening cooperation, the two sides will blaze a distinctive path for coordinated development and make important contributions to the high-quality growth of the regional economy.
