Laser achieves intelligent manufacturing, and intelligent manufacturing helps a powerful country. On October 25, the reporter learned from the Shandong Laser Equipment Innovation and Entrepreneurship Community that since its establishment three years ago, the community has laid out 43 innovative projects, boosting the agglomeration and development of the laser industry in Jinan. The output value of Jinan's laser industry is expected to reach 18 billion yuan this year.

In order to promote the development of Jinan's laser industry, in September 2019, the Shandong Province Laser Equipment Innovation and Entrepreneurship Community, which was declared with the Intelligent Equipment Industry Development Center of Jinan High-tech Zone as the construction subject, was approved for construction, becoming one of the first five communities approved for construction in the province .

"The laser equipment innovation and entrepreneurship community is not a project, but an innovation system." According to Qin Peng, chairman of Xinguang Optoelectronics, the core operating organization of the laser equipment innovation and entrepreneurship community in Shandong Province, this innovation system includes "government, production, learning, In terms of research, finance, service, and use, there are not only government-led departments such as the Jinan High-tech Zone Intelligent Equipment Development Center, but also scientific research institutes such as the Jinan Laser Research Institute of the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Laser Institute of the Shandong Academy of Sciences, and Jinan University. There are also leading laser equipment companies such as Huaguang Optoelectronics, Bond Laser, Jinwei Ke, and Senfeng Technology. On the platform of Shandong Laser Equipment Innovation and Entrepreneurship Community, various elements are integrated and developed, and collaborative innovation is formed to form an efficient operation of the scientific and technological innovation industry "accelerator". At present, there are 45 member units of Shandong Laser Equipment Innovation and Entrepreneurship Community.

"Since the establishment of the community, three phases of projects have been arranged, 16 in the first phase, 9 in the second phase, and 18 in the third phase." According to Qin Peng, these projects not only break through the bottleneck technology, but also include achievement incubation, industrial application, public technical services, etc. Taking breakthrough technology as an example, Qin Peng introduced that under the impetus of the community, the research and development and application of semiconductor laser diode chips have reached an international leading position, breaking the foreign monopoly. , and three more technologies have achieved international advanced."

In recent years, relying on the laser equipment innovation and entrepreneurship community in Shandong Province, the agglomeration effect of Jinan's laser equipment industry has become prominent, attracting many high-quality laser industry projects including Han's and Hongshi to settle in. Jinan has become the largest laser industry base in northern China. There are 20 core enterprises in the laser equipment industry chain, and more than 320 small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises. It has formed from upstream crystal materials and chips to midstream lasers to downstream laser machines. Equipped with a relatively complete laser industry chain. Qin Peng predicts that the output value of Jinan's laser industry is expected to reach 18 billion yuan this year.

Regarding the future development of the Shandong Laser Equipment Innovation and Entrepreneurship Community, Qin Peng believes that, on the one hand, it is necessary to realize the supplementary and strong chain of the laser industry chain through project layout; on the other hand, it is necessary to do a good job in the sustainability of the laser equipment innovation and entrepreneurship community develop. It is reported that at present, Shandong Laser Equipment Innovation and Entrepreneurship Community has established a legal person operating organization, formed a whole industrial chain system from research and development to manufacturing, and is actively deploying high-end fields of the laser industry, including ultrafast laser, laser medical treatment, laser cladding and other fields.
