? ? ? ?As the LED industry engineering and technical personnel training base, Zhongda buddha institute strive to become a bridge and talent intermediary agencies of cooperation between the ?scientific research institutions and enterprises. Which had train more than 400 persons in the field of LE chip, encapsulation technology, product testing, technical standard and patent management . Moreover, it had trained about 30 talents for the enterprises and institutions.
? ? ? ?The framework agreement was signed by Joinmax, Guangzhou Yixin energy service co., LTD., etc in order to send senior professional personals to the industry. They established practice base, strengthen the training of scientific research quality and practical ability of graduate students, strengthen interaction between foshan city and graduate students, and cultivated graduate students keen sense of smell of industry development and the needs of customers in order to better service industries.
? ? ? ? Creating the quality and the standar by forming innovation alliance.
? ? ? ? Five years ago, the government of guangdong province and the ministry of education, ministry of science and technology, ministry of industry and information technology, Chinese academy of sciences, Chinese academy of engineering jointly carried out the far-reaching "provincial manufacture-learning-research”, and under this background, Zhongda Buddha institute founded a manufacture-learning-research innovation union “(hereinafter referred to as the "innovation union"), Guangdong provincial semiconductor lighting project”, which attracted many famous universities and enterprises to join in, Such as THU, Peking University, scientific research institutions and Guoxing photoelectric. Innovation alliance aimed at promoting manufacture-learning-research cooperation from short-term cooperation, loose cooperation, individual cooperation to a long-term cooperation, close cooperation, system cooperation, breakthrough restrict industry competitiveness of ascension.
? ? ? ? It played a major role to the technology breakthrough and standard construction for the innovation union. Among them, the product quality evaluation system is not perfect result from lacking of standard and lag, organizing by the innovation union, leading by the Zhongda Buddha and standardization institute of guangdong province, the quality inspection institute and other units to participate to implement the semiconductor lighting product evaluation benchmark system project in the nationwide, adopting the innovative way of thinking to build the "touchstone" of product quality.
? ? ? ? Innovation union launched the formulation of the technical standards according to the benchmark system research. Arounding the key generic technology industry research and development, patent and intellectual property rights, promoting and improving enterprise as the main body to make standard system, speed up the technologies, processes and products, all of which has a significant influence on the industrial development and formed a batch of competitive local standards in guangdong province.
????????In addition, innovation union also carried out the LED industry research led by the Zhondda buddha, and to be involved in programming of LED industry planning for six provinces and regions, made recommendations for industry development of national and local.
? ? ? ?Providing service and platform by building up a benchmarking center.
? ? ? ?During service for the industry, Zhongda buddha understood that it was not enough to promote the development of dustry only rely on some technical problems with the enterprise joint research, but need to integrate resources, play a role of service industry, and establish good industrial supporting service system. What the most imperative is to introduct the industrial technology, talents, projects, science and technology cooperation, talent training, patent pool building, standards making, etc., increasing capital investment, promoting the enterprise's innovation ability, improving industrial policy supporting, etc.
? ? ? ? Combined with industry characteristics, the industry public services built by Zhaongda buddha had carried out the technical exchanges and cooperation with more than hundreds of enterprises and institution, formed a good technology interactive system for the enterprise to launched the "short, adaptable and rapid” technical support, which means that the after pilot production then will transferrto the enterprise for mass produciton and form a fluent industrial chain for technology transfer. For example, the Zhongda buddha institute has the international leading level of high color rendering LED light source module technology (one of method is to had the several intergrated chip packed into a designed electric conductive and heat dissipation module ) transferred to the ZhongHao photoelectric company, and which had achieved mass production.
? ? ? ??Industry public service platform as an effective tool of resource integration, formed a broad channels and interfaces to the government, industry, universities, research institutions, intermediary agencies which through application technology research, technology research and? and talent training, shaped a set of engineering design, research and development, verification, testing, standards and market functions to service the system.
