Recently, the comprehensive evaluation results of the 2024 Jiangsu Provincial Science and Technology Awards were announced. Four technological innovation projects from Hanjiang District made the list, including three second-class awards and one third-class award, ranking first in the city in terms of the number of awards. Notably, the project "Technology and Application of Heavy-Duty, High-Efficiency, and Intelligent High-Strength Steel Stamping Lines" led by Yangzhou Forging Machine Tool Co., Ltd. won the second-class award, marking a major breakthrough in the field of high-end equipment manufacturing in the district.
The Jiangsu Provincial Science and Technology Award is the highest honor in the province's scientific and technological field, renowned for its rigorous evaluation, fierce competition, and high gold content. The awarded projects in Hanjiang accurately reflect the strong innovative momentum of the district's "153" modern industrial system and demonstrate the significant contributions of enterprises as the main innovation players to the high-quality development of industries.
The award-winning project of Yangzhou Forging Machine Tool Co., Ltd. directly addresses a "bottleneck" problem in China's high-end manufacturing sector. Focusing on two core directions—high precision and reliability of main engine equipment, and flexibility and intelligence of production lines—the project successfully broke through key technologies such as multi-link drive. It developed 6300-35000KN heavy-duty multi-station presses and production lines based on six-bar mechanism parallel drive. This achievement broke the long-term monopoly of developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and Europe in this field, realizing the first domestic multi-station, fully automatic, and flexible stamping of high-strength steel. It not only effectively promotes the overall improvement of China's forming equipment technology but also directly meets the urgent demand for heavy-duty, high-efficiency, and intelligent stamping lines in industries such as new energy vehicles, home appliances, and aerospace, providing solid equipment support for the upgrading and iteration of related industries.
Beyond Yangzhou Forging's breakthrough in equipment manufacturing, the list of awardees also highlights the breadth and depth of Hanjiang District's industrial layout. In the microelectronics industry, two projects participated by Yangzhou Yangjie Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.—"Key Technology Equipment and Application for Automatic Testing of Advanced Semiconductor Multi-Layer Packaging" and "R&D and Industrialization of UHV High-Efficiency Power Devices and High-Performance Intelligent Protection Chips"—won the second-class and third-class awards respectively, demonstrating strong technical strength in specialized semiconductor segments.
In the biomedical field, the project "R&D and Promotion of Precision Prevention and Control System for Digestive System Tumors" participated by Jiangsu Kewen Biotechnology Co., Ltd. won the second-class award, reflecting remarkable progress in life and health industry technology.
These achievements are not accidental. Statistics show that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, enterprises in Hanjiang District have led projects to win second-class or higher Jiangsu Provincial Science and Technology Awards every year, the only district in the city to achieve this. Behind this is the strategic determination of the district Party committee and government to focus on building a core area of an industrial science and technology innovation city, continuously optimize the innovation ecosystem, and guide resources to gather in the "153" modern industrial system.
A relevant person in charge of the District Science and Technology Bureau stated that the next step will be to closely follow the decisions and arrangements of the district Party committee and government, anchor the goal of building a core area of an industrial science and technology innovation city, and focus on the innovation needs of the "153" modern industrial system. With the "Zhihui Hanjiang · Double Hundred and Double Thousand" initiative as the main line, efforts will be made to further strengthen regional collaborative innovation efficiency, continuously increase investment in science and technology, accelerate the transformation and implementation of scientific and technological achievements, and inject stronger and more sustainable scientific and technological momentum into Hanjiang's high-quality development.
