**Abstract**
1. The Ministry of Science and Technology approved the pilot construction 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 Document No. 293 of National Science and Technology Development. A total of 39 projects were selected, including the two-year initiative for the "High-efficiency Precision Abrasives" industry technology innovation strategy. The alliance ranked second in the list, signaling strong national support through policies and funding over the next two years. This is a significant milestone for the abrasives industry.
The initiative requires all pilot alliances to focus on cultivating strategic emerging industries and upgrading traditional sectors. It emphasizes the establishment of long-term cooperation mechanisms among industry, academia, and research institutions. By strengthening R&D efforts and promoting the commercialization of innovations, the alliance aims to enhance industrial competitiveness and provide valuable experience for future collaborations.
On May 10, 2012, the Ministry officially published the list of pilot alliances, which included the "High-efficiency Precision Abrasives Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance," proposed by the Zhengzhou Abrasives Grinding Research Institute. The pilot period was set for two years, marking an important step forward in the development of this sector.
This alliance, guided by the Ministry of Science and Technology and other relevant departments, was initiated by leading enterprises, research institutes, and universities such as Zhengzhou Abrasives Grinding Research Institute, Shandong Luxin Venture Capital Group, and Hunan University. Its goal is to enhance technological innovation capabilities, foster collaboration, and address key technical challenges in the high-efficiency precision abrasives industry. Through joint research, the alliance aims to break through bottlenecks, develop standards, and create patented technologies with independent intellectual property rights, ultimately boosting the global competitiveness of China’s abrasives industry.
On October 30, 2012, the 2012 work conference of the alliance was held in Zhengzhou. Attendees included representatives from 15 member companies, as well as officials from the Henan Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology. Discussions focused on project progress, standard development, and strategies for future growth. The meeting aimed to improve the alliance's operational mechanisms and prepare for the next round of national-level project applications.
In recent years, the alliance has made significant progress in technical cooperation, standard research, talent training, and academic exchanges. These efforts have enhanced the industry’s core competitiveness and contributed to technological advancements across related fields. Looking ahead, the alliance will continue to refine its structure and operations, further leveraging the strengths of its members to drive the development of high-efficiency precision abrasives in China.
