Huangpu Materials Institute

Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Huangpu Materials Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as "Huangpu Materials Institute") was established in February 2020. It is a provincial-level public institution in Guangdong Province, a new-type R&D institution in Guangdong, and a high-level innovation research institute in Guangdong. The institute is located in Huangpu District, Guangzhou, at the heart of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Yang Xiaoniu, the director of the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, serves as the first director of the institute. Huangpu Materials Institute is rooted in the major national strategic needs and the national strategy for the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. With the development purpose of "innovating science and technology, strengthening the country, and enriching the people," it focuses on the national "bottleneck" core technology needs and the urgent demand for key new materials in the innovation and development of the Greater Bay Area. It explores and practices the "1+1+X" dual-engine-driven, multi-platform parallel development model, striving to build a chain-based R&D ecosystem of "large scientific device or platform - product development - industrial development," and is committed to becoming a strategic scientific and technological force for new materials representing the national level and reflecting national will. Huangpu Materials Institute focuses on the needs of the country and the Greater Bay Area for key new materials, with the core of enhancing the independent innovation capability of advanced materials. It emphasizes applied basic research and applied development research, breaking through the core key technologies urgently needed for major projects and the cultivation of emerging industries.
