Sci-tech 50, the first incu-bator camp organized by Jiading District’s Nanxi-ang Town and Kunshan

City’s Qiandeng Town, con-cluded on July 3 with fruitful outcomes that included a fund and many projects to boost sci-tech cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Established at the camp’s closing ceremony, the Nanxiang Qiandeng Innovation Fund will focus on smart manufacturing in the region where firms that joined the camp will be given prior consideration when there is an investment.

Several agreements were

signed at the venue. Professional incubators and

sci-tech industry operation institutions including SIMIC Inno Spring, TEEC Inno Spring and ICVIC will join with the Qiandeng, Yidi and Chengpeng industrial parks to build a “sci-tech innovation space and service platform.”

An exchange center for inno-vation and entrepreneurship was also unveiled.

At the ceremony, five proj-ects among 33 participants of the camp stood out in the end and won the chance of a roadshow.

Representat ives show-cased t he i r produc ts , technologies and commercial

modes accompanied by instruc-tors for projects such as a new technical platform that keeps data private and an automatic flight system for drones.

The remaining participants were given one-on-one startup consulting, visits from lead-ing companies in the industry and in-depth interviews by media during the 50-day camp session.

The camp was the first cross-region innovation and entrepreneurship program built by local governments to make the platform internation-al and professional as well as an active step that goes with the Yangtze River Delta inte-gration strategy.

ThE Jiading Converged Media Center has been unveiled, integrating the suburban district’s newspaper, radio and television station as well as other administrative new media units.

It is among Shanghai’s first batch of 10 district-level converged media centers to be established. The official “Shanghai Jiading” app went online at the same time.

The integrated center will break the barriers between traditional and modern media and restructure the business process.

After the update, multiple portals can release news items after editing the same materi-al, which is far more efficient than the previous approach of separate but repetitive work in different media branches and can maximize the broadcast-ing effect.

It will tap into the mode to combine media with Party, administrative affairs and service, with converged media

service stations set up in 12 sub-districts to pool and share resources.

The “Shanghai Jiading” app is the key to delivering the news service.

It has all the latest first-hand information concerning district news, administrative notices and residents’ lives.

Different channels, such as real-time news, in-depth so-cial research and comment, live shows and administrative affair process windows are available.

Meanwhile, the auto sector as a characteristic industry in the district will have a special channel of its own.

Residents can use the app to send suggestions to district of-ficials or look up information on matters such as garbage sorting categories, traffic vio-lations and school divisions.

Some award-winning re-ports will be first published on the app and later be broad-cast through traditional media such as newspapers, websites and television.

SENIoR experimenter Yin Dingjun from the Shanghai Institute of optics and Fine Mechanics with Chinese Academy of Sci-ences has spent 40 years working with optical experimental facilities.

Yin is currently the responsible per-son for machine design of national key laboratory of strong field laser physics and chief mechanical engineer of the SULF project which is one of the major national science and technology infra-structure construction projects.

Specialized in design, assembling and

adjustment of optical precision machin-ery, Yin is good at turning his scientific ideas into reality as a result of years of accumulating knowledge and actual operation.

The projects that Yin has participated in have won a number of national and city-level prizes including a first prize at the National Science and Technology Awards, and two second prizes and a third at the Shanghai Science and Tech-nology Awards.

Yin is constantly pursuing the perfec-tion of product quality and he has spent

a lot of time adjusting and improving laser installations.

When he was developing a prototype laser facility, he designed over 2,000 components, polished 40 of them to a bright mirror finish, summarized the polishing technique and shared it with the production department.

In the past 10 years, Yin has taken part in the development of TW, PW 5PW and 10PW prototype laser devices, as well as the world’s leading Shanghai ultra-strong and ultra-short laser ex-perimental device.

his innovative design of a laser am-plifier that replaces the traditional amplifier cavity with an involute cavity leads the world in amplification efficien-cy and greatly improves the utilization of light energy.

Yin has also succeeded in designing a large-aperture optical adjustment equip-ment with high stability, high loads and small volume by changing the existing equipment structure. The design is a major contribution to the development of the country’s ultra-strong and ultra-short laser technology.
