School of Statistics and Mathematics and Wuchuang Huiju Chuangxin Discuss New Approaches to Cooperation in the Field of Data Engineering

On September 23rd, the cooperation exchange meeting between the School of Statistics and Mathematics of Shandong University of Finance and Economics and Wuchuang Huiju Chuangxin Science and Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. was successfully held at Greenland Center. The meeting was chaired by Yang Defeng, Chairman of Wuchuang Huiju Chuangxin and Shandong Marine-related Technology. Tian Jinfang, Dean of the School of Statistics and Mathematics of Shandong University of Finance and Economics, Sun Dongliang, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, and Yao Baokui, Counselor, attended the exchange meeting. Song Xianwei, Vice President of Wuchuang High-tech Group, and Pan Zhaojin, President of Chaodongli Education, also participated in the meeting. The two parties conducted indepth discussions on multilevel cooperation in the field of data engineering.                                 

Song Xianwei gave a detailed introduction to the group's mature cooperation model of "Research Institute + Achievement Transformation + Industrial Fund + Industrial Park". As a mixed-ownership enterprise initiated by multiple universities and now co-invested by local governments and central enterprises, the group has rich experience in the operation of government industrial funds, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and industrial incubation. Both parties agreed that against the backdrop of Jinan's vigorous promotion of the development of the big data industry, there is broad room for university-enterprise cooperation.

Tian Jinfang introduced the university's disciplinary advantages and development plans in the field of data science. He pointed out that in recent years, the school has actively promoted the integration of industry and education, and has jointly prepared the establishment of a Data Engineering Industry College with units such as Shandong Big Data Exchange Center and Nanhai Pilot Big Data. The university has a solid foundation in data technology research and development as well as talent cultivation, but still needs support from external forces in terms of social services and industrial connection. It looks forward to cooperating with Wuchuang High-tech Group to achieve resource complementarity and coordinated development.

This exchange meeting has provided new ideas for Shandong University of Finance and Economics to deepen the integration of industry and education and expand university-enterprise cooperation, and also injected new impetus into the development of Shandong's data industry. The two parties will focus on "industrial incubation + institutional localization" as the core, and jointly build a high-level cooperation model for universities to serve the local economy.
