A model of success for industrial companies. The key to adapting to and leading the new normal of China’s economic development is to rely on scientific and technological innovation to transform the development momentum. It is hoped that Jinchuan will use this conference as an opportunity to fully implement the spirit of innovation drive strategy set by the Party Central Committee and the State Council, solve major technical problems that restrict development through a new round of scientific and technological research, and obtain a number of important influences in the international industry. Scientific and technological achievements have laid a solid foundation for the establishment of "a hundred years of Jinchuan" and made new and greater contributions to China's non-ferrous metals industry's scientific and technological progress and regional economic development.

President Chen Quanxun spoke highly of the Jinchuan company's scientific and technological innovation work. He said that Jinchuan has developed from a deserted Gobi Desert into a bright pearl on the Silk Road, a historical witness to China’s modernization and reform and opening up, and a road to China’s development. , Chinese power, the embodiment of Chinese spirit. He praised Jinchuan as a place of innovation, a place for talents and a place for spirit.

President Chen Quanxun pointed out that due to the superposition of subjective and objective factors and internal and external multiple factors, China’s economic growth has encountered considerable downward pressure, and the non-ferrous metals industry has also encountered considerable difficulties. In the face of these difficulties, Jinchuan Company did not rely on it and responded calmly. It proposed “a foundation for quality improvement and efficiency improvement, reform and innovation for development,” and adopted a series of measures to control costs, improve efficiency, and contravene the situation. The price of nickel fell sharply. Under the circumstances, profit was realized in the first quarter of this year, which fully demonstrates that Jinchuan has a deep accumulation and solid internal strength and is fully capable of responding to current risks and challenges.

President Chen Quanxun combined with Jinchuan company and the non-ferrous metals industry to make some suggestions on how to turn the current crisis into an opportunity, accelerate scientific and technological advancement, and promote transformation and upgrading. First, take advantage of the downturn in the market, focus on long-term planning. layout. Gansu Province is an old industrial base with a relatively heavy economic structure. However, it is rich in resources, has a vast hinterland, is located at the Silk Road node, has superior scientific and educational resources, and has the advantage of backwardness. These are non-ferrous metals including Jinchuan. The accelerated development of enterprises provides a broad space. Second, seize the opportunity to speed up the construction of an innovative country and continue to be the vanguard of technological innovation. First, we must pay attention to investment; second, we must focus on collaboration; third, we must improve the system; fourth, we must rely on talented people. Third, seize the strategic opportunity of the “Belt and Road” initiative, introduce it at a high level, and make great strides in “going out”. Jinchuan Company shall, in accordance with the overall deployment of Gansu Province, actively construct a new pattern of opening to the outside world, introduce high-quality production elements at a high level, and output technical equipment and production capacity with great strides. Let the world's Jinchuan become China's pride. Fourth, we must seize the opportunity of building an ecological civilization and continue to do a good job in circular economy. We must continue to do a good job in circular economy, actively promote the construction of green mines, green industries, and green cities, promote green development and scientific and technological progress, and expand space for development through environmental product development, technology promotion, and providing solutions. It also contributes to the construction of ecological civilization.

Hao Yuan said at the meeting that at present, the economic and social development of Gansu Province is entering the middle stage of industrialization, and innovation-driven development is already at a new starting point for accelerating transformation and transformation. Whether it is transforming and upgrading traditional industries, cultivating and developing emerging industries, or promoting economic growth, Safeguarding people's livelihood cannot be separated from the support of technology. The current domestic and international market demand structure has undergone major changes, and the cost advantages of traditional industries such as petrochemical, non-ferrous metals, and metallurgy in Gansu Province have been constantly squeezed. To change this situation, we must overcome the difficulties of excessive dependence on resources and dramatic fluctuations in growth. We must adhere to market demand guidance, switch the main engine of development, get rid of excessive reliance on material production factors, move into the track of innovation drive, realize technology renewal, process renewal, product renewal, form a new technological competitive advantage, and promote the transformation of traditional industries. Upgrade and improve quality and efficiency.

In his speech, Yang Zhiqiang introduced the development of Jinchuan science and technology and established the company's development direction in the new situation. He said that in the face of the new situation, Jinchuan Corporation has clearly realized that to overcome the current difficult situation, we must put the scientific and technological innovation work in a more prominent position, and spare no effort to promote innovation-driven development strategies, and solidly promote technological innovation. As the core of all-round innovation work. Jinchuan Company will carry out a new round of scientific and technological joint research with revolutionary and disruptive thinking, actively promote collaborative innovation work, promote close integration of production, learning and research, and promote the organic integration of scientific and technological innovation with market demand, industrial development, and technological advancement, and constantly improve autonomy. Innovation, integrated innovation, and the ability to absorb, digest, and innovate, accelerate the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, implement innovations in production operations, and turn innovation results into real industrial activities.

At the meeting, Jinchuan signed a letter of intent with the Australian Federal Scientific and Industrial Organization and Finland’s Outotec Technology Co., Ltd., and signed a mission statement with the company’s key scientific and technological personnel. During the conference, the theme report meeting and Jinchuan innovation achievement exhibition were held. In the nine sub-venues such as geological prospecting, beneficiation processes and equipment, the participants conducted in-depth and extensive exchanges and discussions.

More than 350 representatives from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, relevant associations, institutions of higher learning, research and design institutes, foreign research institutes and business representatives attended the conference.
