Many people say that Changsha's construction of a global R&D center city is a city's self-transcendence. So, to build a global R&D center city, how does Changsha turn the blueprint into a "real picture"? Changsha relies not only on the "human fireworks" of an Internet celebrity city, but also on the confidence to achieve long-term popularity.
This confidence comes from Changsha’s endless supply of talent. Under the shade of Yuelu Academy, a millennium institution, Central South University, Hunan University and other universities have trained generations of outstanding graduates. These university alumni have now become the backbone of the world.
However, graduation is not the end of the story. The spring growth of the bamboo forest in the academy, the maple leaves on the mountain in Yuelu, and the first snowfall in the Red Building are all deeply engraved in the memory of every college alumni. The alma mater complex has become a powerful adhesive, closely linking talents with Changsha, and building a global R&D center city has become a continuation of their affection for their alma mater.
Using university "alumni circles" to connect industrial and ecological chains and boost urban economic development has become an important way for Changsha to add new forces and gather new momentum. In addition to attaching great importance to the alumni resources of local universities in Hunan, Changsha also uses the alumni associations of nationally renowned universities as a link to gather alumni resources from universities inside and outside the province, and uses the Science and Technology Innovation Industrial Park as a starting point to promote the innovation and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, with remarkable results.
Feeding back the sentiments of the alma mater, Changsha gathers talents to promote development
On June 19 this year, a symposium on the return of Hunan university alumni and Hunan businessmen was held in Changsha. 28 projects were signed on-site, with a total investment of 32.36 billion yuan. Many of the company founders have studied in Changsha universities. Behind the return of tens of billions of funds to Hunan is also a reflection of the sentiments of the alma mater.
In fact, in the past two years, Changsha, through its alumni and local chambers of commerce, has taken advantage of the familiarity between the two places and introduced more than 150 Hunan businessmen back to the company, with nearly 90 billion yuan in funds. Newly registered Hunan companies from January to April this year There are 57 commercial enterprises with 30 billion yuan of capital in place.
Take Central South University as an example. Currently, Central South University has nearly 1,000 enterprises in Hunan, involving engineering machinery, medical care, new energy and other fields, with annual revenue exceeding 300 billion yuan. Wang Chuanfu, who is known as the "best alumni" in Central China, has been with Changsha for 40 years since he studied at Central South University of Mining and Metallurgy in 1983 until the output value of BYD's Changsha segment exceeded 100 billion in 2022. It can be said that university alumni talents are becoming a valuable resource for promoting the high-quality development of Changsha.
As a city with three 985 universities, second only to Beijing and Shanghai, Changsha has also been leveraging its scientific research advantages to build its own advantageous industries, and has formed an industry represented by new energy vehicles, lithium battery energy storage, mechanical engineering, and biomedicine. Industrial business card. It is foreseeable that, with universities as the support and Hunan businessmen as the link, more production factors such as technology, talent, and capital will return in the future, providing strong talent dividends and intellectual support for Changsha's high-quality development.
Changsha gathers university alumni resources to build a global R&D center city
The government's use and expansion of university alumni talents reflects its urban governance capabilities and wisdom. Alumni groups are strategic resources and valuable assets shared by cities and universities. More and more universities and cities are beginning to pay attention to this "development-boosting force" that cannot be ignored.
On June 19 this year, Shen Xiaoming, Secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, announced at the 2023 Internet Yuelu Summit that “We are planning to build Changsha into a global R&D center city and make it the fourth landmark project of Hunan’s current innovation-driven development. ". Looking at the country and even the world, "global R&D center city" is a new concept, but Changsha is indeed ambitious in building a global R&D center city relying on its rich scientific and educational resources in universities.
In this context, on July 13, at the sincere invitation of the Yuelushan University Science and Technology City Management Committee, Yu Wenwu, Director of the Alumni Affairs Office of Central South University, Li Jinsong, Director of the Alumni Affairs Office of Hunan University, and Huang Liping, Secretary-General of the Hunan Normal University Alumni Association , Zhang Hong, Director of the Alumni Affairs Office of Hunan Technology and Business University, and other heads of alumni associations from key universities gathered at the China Construction Smart Valley Science and Technology Innovation Industrial Park to discuss how to leverage the linking role of alumni associations, link and aggregate alumni corporate resources and scientific research academic talents, and accelerate the development of research and development institutions and The implementation of scientific and technological innovation projects and the transformation of high-tech achievements will help Changsha become a global R&D center city.
On July 20, the Yuelushan University Science and Technology City Management Committee invited some heads of Hunan Alumni Associations from prestigious universities outside the province to gather at the China Construction Smart Valley Science and Technology Innovation Industrial Park to jointly solve problems in industrial innovation and development. On that day, those invited to attend included the heads of Hunan Alumni Associations of famous universities outside the province, Deng Yingru, president of Peking University Hunan Alumni Association, Liu Jian, president of Sun Yat-sen University Hunan Alumni Association, Liu Jia, executive vice president of Wuhan University Hunan Alumni Association, Harbin Institute of Technology Lei Fangming, vice president and secretary-general of the Hunan Alumni Association, Liu Yali, executive president of the Hunan Alumni Association of South China University of Technology, Wu Yongfeng, secretary-general of the Hunan Alumni Association of Southeast University, and others. At the seminar, alumni leaders from various universities actively made suggestions and proposed relevant measures to gather scientific and technological innovation resources from the dominant disciplines of major universities.
From August 17th to 18th, Wang Li, Chairman of China Real Estate Industry Innovation Alliance and Dean of China Real Estate Business School, and Xu Xiaoxia, Executive Dean of Guangdong Private Entrepreneur College and Deputy Secretary-General of South China University of Technology Alumni Association, were invited to lead the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Nearly 20 representatives of science and technology enterprises and university alumni associations from the district science and innovation inspection team came to the China Construction Smart Valley Science and Technology Innovation Industrial Park for investigation. Both parties will actively explore the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements from universities in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao in Changsha, and hope to build a joint venture between the two places. A long-term mechanism for exchanges and cooperation to strengthen resource sharing, joint construction and win-win results.
With the collaboration of multiple resources, several gatherings and countless discussions have built an innovative highland in China Construction Smart Valley, which has also made China Construction Smart Valley a gathering place for alumni resources and talent resources from universities inside and outside the province. Among them, a number of alumni companies, including Sun Yat-sen University and South China University of Technology, have made it clear that they will promote the implementation of some projects in China Construction Smart Valley in the future, and through the linkage of university alumni associations, they will further strengthen the resource docking between the two parties and promote more Alumni enterprises are located in Changsha.
It can be seen that Changsha is building an "alumni circle" in the new era with its spirit of "dare to be the first". First, it has evolved from a single university as the center to a diversified integration of government, alumni, alumni associations and alumni enterprises; second, from the local university alumni resources as the main body, it has evolved to gather the resources of university alumni associations inside and outside the province for group development; third, from the initial The model of university-run enterprises and alumni donations to feed back the alma mater has evolved into a grand category of "double recruitment, double introduction, double entrepreneurship, and double investment" to promote urban development. It is a platform-style "production, investment, research, learning, and application" ".
In Changsha, relying on university alumni circles to attract investment has become a new business format, new platform and new engine. It is no coincidence that heads of alumni associations from colleges and universities inside and outside the province have gathered in China Construction Wisdom Valley several times. Among them, it places deep expectations on the Management Committee of Hunan Xiangjiang New District and Yuelushan Dakecheng. It is also a vivid portrayal of China Construction Smart Valley attracting and gathering all kinds of high-end talents.
