    Since its establishment, the company has deepened its industry–academia–research collaboration with Jiangxi University of Science and Technology by jointly establishing a Doctoral Innovation Station. Dr. Zhang Haihui (Associate Professor), a specialist in Metallurgical Engineering from the university, was appointed as the lead expert for this station. Leveraging the university's strong research talent pool, the company has focused on addressing the core challenges within the rare earth recycling industry through targeted technological breakthroughs. Using the Doctoral Innovation Station as a central nexus, the company has facilitated the seamless integration of cutting-edge academic theories with real-world industrial practices, establishing an integrated "industry–academia–research–application" collaborative innovation platform that accelerates the commercialization of scientific research outcomes.

    The Longnan City Association for Science and Technology has put into practice the spirit of the Third Party Congress of Longnan City through concrete actions. Aligning itself with the deployment requirements of "grounding efforts in two major strategic positioning and advancing four key areas," the Association has leveraged its role as a bridge and link, focused on addressing the core technological needs of Longnan City's leading industries, fostered the establishment of more high-level scientific and technological innovation platforms, and made every effort to overcome the "last mile" challenge in the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, thereby injecting a steady stream of scientific and technological momentum into Longnan's industrial transformation and upgrading as well as its high-quality economic development.
