**Abstract**
1. The Ministry of Science and Technology approved the pilot construction and operation of the “High-efficiency Precision Abrasives Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance.†On April 28, 2012, the Ministry issued the 2012 Industrial Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance Pilot List under the document National Science and Technology Development [2012] No. 293. A total of 39 pilot projects were selected, including the "High-efficiency Precision Abrasives" industry technology innovation strategy. The alliance was ranked second in the list, indicating strong national support for its development over the next two years. This is a significant milestone for the abrasives sector, offering great opportunities for growth and innovation.
The initiative requires all pilot alliances to focus on cultivating strategic emerging industries and upgrading traditional sectors. It encourages the establishment of long-term cooperation mechanisms among industry, academia, and research institutions. The goal is to enhance technological R&D, promote knowledge transfer, and improve the industrial innovation chain. By fostering innovation, the alliance aims to strengthen the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises and provide valuable experience for future collaborations.
On May 10, 2012, the Ministry officially announced the 2012 list of pilot alliances on its official website, which included the "High-efficiency Precision Abrasives Industry Technology Innovation Strategy," proposed by the Zhengzhou Abrasives Grinding Research Institute. The alliance received approval and was given a two-year pilot period.
This alliance was initiated by multiple entities, including the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Zhengzhou Abrasives Grinding Research Institute, Shandong Luxin Venture Capital Group, Hunan University, and Shanghai Machine Tool Plant. Based on the shared interests of the industry and the needs of China's high-efficiency precision abrasives sector, the alliance aims to improve industrial technology innovation capabilities through legally binding contracts and mutual benefits.
By integrating resources from industry, academia, and research, the alliance seeks to address key technical challenges and develop independent intellectual property rights. It also aims to establish industry standards and promote the rapid industrialization of new technologies. This effort will help optimize the structure of precision abrasive tools and significantly enhance the core competitiveness of the industry.
On October 30, 2012, the work conference of the High-efficiency Precision Abrasives Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance, hosted by Zhengzhou Sanmao Research Institute, took place in Zhengzhou. Key figures from the institute and industry leaders attended the meeting, discussing progress, challenges, and strategies for future development.
In recent years, the alliance has made remarkable achievements in technical cooperation, standard development, talent training, and academic exchanges. These efforts have enhanced the competitiveness of the industry and supported technological advancements in key application areas. Under the guidance of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the alliance continues to refine its operational model and contribute to the sustainable development of China’s high-efficiency precision abrasives industry.
