On the morning of June 27, the launching ceremony of the theme report meeting of "Accelerating the Transformation of 'Three Advantages' and Reshaping the 'Heavy' of Wuhan in the New Era" and the special report meeting of Wuhan New City and World Optics Valley were held in Optics Valley. At the meeting, representatives of Optics Valley entrepreneurs told the story of innovation and entrepreneurship. Ma Xinqiang, chairman of Huagong Technology, shared that the company has invested nearly 2 billion yuan in product research and development in the past two years, which has driven the development and growth of more than 200 upstream enterprises in the industrial chain in the province.

"In July 2013, I was the first time to meet General Secretary Xi Jinping at the Optics Valley Exhibition Center, 11 years later, the scene at that time is vivid, the General Secretary's entrustment is still in my ears, he pointed out, 'a country as big as ours cannot be a technological vassal of other countries'." Ma Xinqiang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Huagong Science and Technology Industry Co., Ltd., recalled on the spot: Back then, not only did the core technology have to be bought, but even the screws for ultraviolet laser reinforcement had to be bought from abroad, 3 US dollars a piece! It is this screw that reminds me that in order to build a complete and modern industrial system in our country, every enterprise needs to get rid of dependence and take the road of self-improvement.
Ma Xinqiang introduced that in the next 9 years, Huagong Technology has taken the lead in breaking through a number of core technologies in China through independent innovation and chain innovation: 10,000-watt fiber lasers, silicon photonics chips, key technologies for high-quality and efficient laser cutting and welding in automobile manufacturing, and the localization rate of ultrafast laser components such as picosecond femtosecond has increased to more than 90%...... In a "breakthrough", Huagong Technology has given birth to more than 60 "China's first", becoming a banner of China's laser industry, from a school-run enterprise with an annual turnover of less than 70 million yuan when it was first established, to one of the "tens of billions of troops" in China's Optics Valley. More importantly, by leading the localization of key core components and equipment, it has promoted the "golden decade" of China's laser industry chain.
On the afternoon of June 28, 2022, the general secretary came to Optics Valley again, came to Huagong Laser, and successively visited the enterprise laser science and technology museum, semiconductor panel laser intelligent equipment production workshop and other places.
Ma Xinqiang said that in the past two years, Huagong Technology has always kept in mind the entrustment of the general secretary, sought development with innovation and empowerment, continued to stimulate the vitality of the enterprise, and gathered strength for the construction of a world-class enterprise. Ma Xinqiang said that the company has invested nearly 2 billion yuan in the research and development of more than 40 "industry-leading, domestic substitution, specialized, special and new" products, and the annual R&D investment has increased by more than 30%. The industry is the first to launch the special intelligent equipment for three-dimensional five-axis laser processing of aero engines, which breaks through one of the bottlenecks restricting the industrial chain of aero engines and gas turbines on Continental, and effectively improves the processing level of key components of aero engines on Continental. Jointly with Huazhong CNC to launch the "five-axis CNC system" with independent intellectual property rights, the national production of the core components of the three-dimensional five-axis laser cutting machine, the star product of Huagong Science and Technology. Six sets of semiconductor wafer processing equipment have been developed, and key core technologies such as high-precision motion control, high-sensitivity vision system, and ultra-short pulse laser have been broken through, which not only reduces the price of equipment, but also avoids being "stuck" by foreign companies; The self-developed IC substrate laser etching equipment can detect nearly 10,000 chip defects and laser etching in about 1 second at the earliest, and this equipment has achieved breakthroughs in various technical links, and has obtained a number of invention patents, reaching the international leading level.
Not only that, Huagong Technology's 1.6T silicon photonic module, "optical waveguide glass wafer laser processing intelligent production line", lithium battery high-speed magnetic levitation intelligent equipment, hydrogen production alkaline electrolyzer double-sided intelligent control welding robot and other innovative products...... Continue to inject "invisible power" into the construction of new industrialization. Ma Xinqiang introduced that at present, 17 first-level key projects, including silicon photonic coherent chips and laser processing application software platforms, are in full swing and climbing to the peak of the industry.
Ma Xinqiang showed two pictures on the spot, which are the scenes of the global agent conference held by Huagong Technology last year and this year. He said that the two conferences attracted more than 50 agents and customers from more than 20 countries around the world. "In the picture, I was communicating with the German customer Harald, who told me that 'now in Germany to search for laser processing equipment on the Internet, a number of products of Huagong Technology are ranked on the home page, and the excellent product and service reputation finally impressed the superstitious Germans who are superstitious about their own manufacturing, and the sales scale in Germany has doubled year by year in recent years, and has driven the European market to grow strongly by more than 80% in the past two years." Ma Xinqiang said.

"The general secretary said that scientific and technological innovation, one relies on investment, the other relies on talents, and one of our major measures in the past two years is to accelerate the construction of the Central Research Institute of Huagong Science and Technology." Ma Xinqiang introduced that as an important R&D platform of Huagong Science and Technology, it is planned that the Academia Sinica will invest 1 billion yuan in five years, and the Academia Sinica will invest about 150 million yuan last year. In addition, in the past two years, Huagong Science and Technology has strengthened the recruitment of talents, and has introduced a number of masters and doctors in the past two years, and now there are nearly 200 scientific research talents in the Academia Sinica.
According to reports, from more than ten years ago through the "global buy" integrated innovation, to the present independent innovation, collaborative innovation to achieve "global sell", Huagong Science and Technology in the wind and rain experience growth, but also cultivated, driven the development and growth of more than 200 supply chain and industrial chain upstream enterprises in the province, the company's main product autonomy rate of more than 90%.
Jiupai News learned that in March this year, as one of the top ten major projects of the central axis of Wuhan New City, Huagong Science and Technology Optoelectronic Information Industry Research and Innovation Park started construction, and more original scientific and technological achievements from 0 to 1 will be born here in the future.
