President's Statement
The overarching goal of JITRI is to prime the pump of industrial innovation in Jiangsu Province.
First, we focus on the collection of industry needs that can be filled by new technology, and on matching
these needs to innovation resources both within China and globally. Second, we build research capacity
through Research Institutes in areas of interest to Jiangsu industry. Third, we explore new mechanisms
of industrial technology innovation and personnel training.
In 2020, JITRI achieved many milestones, including six new Research Institutes, forty project
manager teams introduced into Jiangsu Province, thirty six outstanding JITRI Fellows or Junior Fellows
hired, and 160 new enterprises spun off from our research institutes. The JITRI Research Institutes
achieved total revenue of 4 billion CNY, transferred more than 1000 technological achievements to
industry, and launched major projects in industrial innovation.
Strengthening research and development capacity. In 2020, we founded six new Research
Institutes in the fields of materials, advanced manufacturing, information technology, and biomedicine.
For example, the China-Israel Industrial Technology Research Institute was jointly established with
the Changzhou municipal government to promote the docking and integration of innovative resources
from Israeli achievements with Jiangsu's enterprise technology needs and industrial development
requirements. The Yangtze Delta Advanced Materials Research Institute was officially opened for
business, the construction of the Integrated Circuit Application Technology Innovation Center was
started, and a number of major projects were funded, including blades for aero-engines made from
single crystals, an advanced electron microscope, and novel sensor chips for ventilators.
Gathering innovation needs. In 2020 we built 54 new Joint Innovation Centers (JICs) with leading
enterprises in the province; overall, the JICs documented 285 new technology needs, made plans to
invest 413 million CNY, and reached 123 technical cooperation projects with contract value of 630 million
CNY.
Gathering innovation resources. In 2020 we established strategic partnerships with a further
nine overseas university departments, including Harvard Medical School, the University of Munich
Department of Physics, and the University of Saskatchewan. We recruited forty new project managers
from around the world, including Sune Svanberg, academician of the Royal Swedish Academy of
Sciences and the Academy of Engineering and former chairman of the Nobel Prize Physics Committee,
Birger Lindberg Müller, academician of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and the Australian
Academy of Sciences, and Meifang ZHU, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who all had
innovation or entrepreneurship projects in JITRI.
Accelerate major projects. In 2020 we implemented seven new major projects including one to
005
develop a new flexible forming process for metals, and another to build epitaxial deposition equipment
for silicon carbide electronics. The total investment in these projects was 300 million CNY. These
projects both filled domestic gaps and promoted the commercialization of innovation.
Develop "JITRI University". Under this concept, industrial technology problems will be defined
and packaged as educational products. Leveraging JITRI's innovation ecosystem, a system of dual
supervisors is being implemented by developing project-based, interdisciplinary learning. JITRI jointly
trained 1045 new JITRI graduates by working in partnership with their universities. JITRI will promote
the integration of industry and R&D with education, cultivate future-oriented, needs-oriented and
practice-oriented industrial innovation talent, start the construction of Jiangsu Industrial Technology
Innovation College, and take steps to build an industrial innovation university—JITRI University.
JITRI is an ongoing experiment in new mechanisms of industrial research and global cooperation.
Our staff and partners around the world are committed to gathering resources to solve local and
global problems using technology.
Entering 2021, to support the 14th Five-Year Plan, JITRI will focus on the following eight tasks:
1. Strengthen our strategic leadership. Addressing both national strategic needs and the
industrial development of Jiangsu Province, we will strengthen our connections with Jiangsu's leading
industries to understand how the key core technologies of industry fit together to form an industrial
ecosystem, and thereby guide research to strengthen and complete the technology chain.
2. Grow the industrial technology innovation system. First, we will continue to build research
institutes with high quality facilities, personnel teams, and technology expertise. We will strengthen our
support system to nurture the best-performing Institutes and thereby enhance the overall research
006
capacity of Jiangsu. Second, we will grow our roster of joint innovation centers and leverage them to
improve our collection of industry needs and their matching with technology solutions. Third, we will
gather high quality innovation resources from around the globe and introduce them into Jiangsu to
build innovation resource clusters.
3. Integrated innovation platforms. We will develop JITRI's two core platforms, the Yangtze Delta
Advanced Materials Research Institute and the Jiangsu Integrated Circuit Application Technology
Innovation Center, to identify major projects to solve key technical problems by bringing together
facilities, talent and investment.
4. Establish a JITRI-wide information platform. We will develop a complete construction plan for
a digital industry technology innovation system, set up a business operation management system,
and accelerate the creation of "online JITRI."
5. Establish JITRI University. We will further expand the scale of student development, improve
the education system, and continue the construction of JITRI University with JITRI college at its
core. This will be jointly built by JITRI headquarters, major comprehensive innovation platforms, and
universities.
6. Continue the construction of innovation spaces. Construct innovative spaces such as the
new site in Nanjing Jiangbei New Area and Suzhou Yangtze Delta International R&D Community,
and strengthen planning to exchange talent and cultures to integrate resource clusters across the
Yangtze Delta region.
8. Strengthen JITRI's own capacity. Further optimizing internal organization, we will strengthen
the structure of JITRI itself to function at a higher level. This includes optimizing the evaluation and
incentive mechanisms of Headquarters, improving hiring, incentives and promotion policies, and
providing ongoing training opportunities for headquarters staff.
This Annual Report is also a roadmap to building JITRI into a pioneer of Jiangsu's modernization.
By connecting innovation resources around the world with Yangtze Delta industry, we will build
a strong, prosperous and high-tech Jiangsu that can benefit the entire world by solving global
problems. We hope you will join us on this new journey!

JITRI Culture
1
● Core Concept
R&D as an industry, technology as a product.
2
● JITRI's Role
JITRI positions itself at the vital nexus between scientific research and technological
transformation. JITRI does not compete with universities for academic reputation, nor
with commercial enterprises for profits. Instead, it focuses on two main roles: to be
a bridge between universities, research institutes, and industry; and to be a bridge
between global innovation resources and Jiangsu Province. JITRI is a "test bed" for new
ideas to reform the scientific and technological development of Jiangsu Province.

● Main Functions
To reform our scientific and technological systems and mechanisms, JITRI
builds R&D vehicles (Institutes), gathers innovation resources (partnerships), assists
enterprises to innovate (Joint Innovation Centers), leads industrial development
(platforms), and cultivates innovation talent.
4 ● Future Vision
Become an engine of innovation-driven strategy to promote the high-quality
development of the Yangtze Delta region.

with the existing technology, the system does gene detection technology, and help doctors
not need DNA extraction, a tag or DNA staining quickly obtain diagnosis results and give treatment
after amplification. Rather, it directly uses a crude plans. It will be widely used in clinical detection and
