On 16 July, the consensus of the meeting - "Walking Together with One Heart to Comprehensively Promote the Collaborative Innovation of Key Equipment Technology" (hereinafter referred to as the "Conference Consensus") was released at the 2020 High-quality Development, Equipment and Steel Walking Together Metallurgical Advanced Technology and Equipment Innovation Promotion Conference.  

It is reported that the consensus of the meeting is formed on the basis of the preliminary investigation of the China Steel Association, absorbing the opinions of relevant ministries and commissions, industry associations, equipment manufacturing and steel enterprises, which basically reflects the needs and voices of the industry and represents the mainstream views of the industry.

The consensus of the meeting pointed out that the steel industry and the equipment manufacturing industry are dependent partners. The steel industry and equipment manufacturing industry should focus on the fundamental task of improving the basic capabilities of the industry and the level of the industrial chain, and work together to promote independent innovation of steel equipment, which is an inevitable choice to comply with the requirements of high-quality development and create a healthy and long-term prosperous steel industry chain.

The consensus of the meeting emphasized that "walking together to comprehensively promote the collaborative innovation of key equipment technology" is to jointly express the consensus of all colleagues in China's steel industry and equipment manufacturing industry through full discussion and communication, and to follow it as a common behavior of China's steel industry and equipment manufacturing industry.

The first is to improve the system. Conquer the key technical equipment in advanced steel production equipment, do a good job in the training of talents in technical equipment development, expand the cutting-edge technology of steel production equipment, realize the seamless connection between the demand for technical equipment and the R&D supply system of the steel industry, and build a perfect R&D supply system.

Second, focus on innovation. Take scientific and technological innovation as a key part of consolidating the advantages of the steel industry and strengthening the construction of the industrial chain, accelerate the research and development and application of key equipment technologies, improve the technological autonomy of metallurgical equipment, advocate industrial cooperation, promote collaborative innovation, create new technologies, and contribute to the development of world steel technology.

The third is efficient collaboration. Jointly promote independent innovation capabilities, and strengthen an efficient and dynamic modern innovation cooperation system of upstream and downstream and horizontal collaboration and cooperation.

Fourth, integrated development. The steel industry has accelerated the research and development of new technologies and materials to provide broader application scenarios for equipment manufacturing; Advanced equipment manufacturing suppliers accelerate the R&D and application of new processes and equipment, and provide strong support for the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry.

Fifth, make every effort to help each other. The equipment manufacturing industry should boldly and give priority to the use of domestically developed advanced steel materials, focus on solving the problems that cannot be done and cannot be done well, and provide support for the healthy development of the steel industry. The steel industry should boldly and give priority to the use of high-quality domestic equipment to achieve equipment replacement and upgrading.

The consensus of the meeting proposed to work together and work together to accelerate the research of key core technologies, create new advantages for future development, climb the peak to further improve the level of collaborative innovation of advanced technology and equipment in the steel industry, and make unremitting efforts to continuously enhance China's economic innovation and competitiveness and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
