Integrating Wisdom and Innovation, Uniting Academia and Industry to Magnetize the Future – Large Permanent Magnet Motor Technology Seminar & Inauguration Ceremony of the Joint R&D Center between Hengda Jianghai and Anhui University Successfully Held

On November 29, the "Large Permanent Magnet Motor Technology Seminar & Inauguration Ceremony of the Joint R&D Center between Hefei Hengda Jianghai Pump Industry Co., Ltd. and Anhui University" was grandly held at the venue of Anhui Hengda Auto-control Group—a national manufacturing champion enterprise. The event brought together distinguished attendees including Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Yuan Liang and Wu Aixiang, Anhui University Party Secretary Yu Baodao, former Deputy Party Secretary Wang Qunjing, and Zhu Qinglong, Chairman of Hefei Hengda Jianghai Pump Industry Co., Ltd., along with other leaders, experts, and industry peers. Together, they engaged in discussions on technological innovation and opened a new chapter in university-enterprise collaboration.

As a core power equipment in the manufacturing sector, large permanent magnet motors play an irreplaceable role in critical fields such as energy, water conservancy, and industry. Technological breakthroughs in this area are directly linked to the upgrading of related industries and the enhancement of national core competitiveness. This landmark event adopted an innovative trinity format of "technical seminars + university-enterprise collaboration + achievement appraisal," injecting strong momentum into the development of the industry.

Zhu Qinglong reviewed the laboratory's series of achievements in the field of submersible pumps and equipment over the past three years, including multiple internationally leading, gap-filling, or globally pioneering products and technological breakthroughs. Leveraging the Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory of Large Submersible Pumps and Equipment, the lab has successfully organized six large-scale academic conferences, cumulatively inviting over 30 academicians, thousands of experts, and more than 500 research institutions for exchanges. Since the laboratory's establishment in 2012, it has pioneered three developmental pathways: integrating industry-academia-research-application to achieve industrialization, fostering collaborative talent cultivation between universities and enterprises (including the training of outstanding engineers), and promoting synergistic development between key disciplines and jointly built university-enterprise platforms. Through these accumulated developments, it has truly realized the vision of "converging global resources to create the world's premier pumps."
