On March 6, 2025, Zoyn Magnetics and Hangzhou Dianzi University (HDU) held a prestigious signing and inauguration ceremony for their newly established Joint Research Center at Zoyn Magnetics' headquarters. This landmark event was graced by prominent leaders, including Shen Li, Party Secretary of the School of Materials and Environmental Engineering at HDU; Dean Zhang Xuefeng; Vice Dean Zhao Lizhong; Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, Chen Wenyao; Secretary-General of the Provincial Magnetic Industry Association, Tan Huming; along with Zoyn Magnetics’ key executives, Chairman Ren Yuanyue, Zhao Ye and others.
In today’s rapidly evolving global technology landscape, innovation is the driving force behind industrial and economic growth. Strengthening industry-academia collaboration and accelerating the commercialization of scientific advancements have become crucial in shaping a competitive and forward-thinking business environment. As a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise specializing in high-performance NdFeB permanent magnets—Zoyn has always regarded technological innovation as its cornerstone. With annual R&D investment exceeding 5% of revenue and ownership of 87 core patents, the company’s products are widely applied in strategic fields such as new energy vehicles, smart equipment, etc. The collaboration with HDU targets cutting-edge advancements like "ultra-high-temperature-stable permanent magnets" and "nano-scale grain boundary diffusion technology." Over the next three years, the partnership aims to commercialize five core patented technologies, accelerating product iteration by 30%.
A New Paradigm for Industry-Education Integration: Building an Innovation Ecosystem
The Joint R&D Center pioneers a “dual-engine” collaboration model, driving both technological breakthroughs and talent cultivation:
Demand-Driven R&D: A “Technical Challenges Pool” consolidates critical production pain points identified by the enterprise. HDU research teams will employ a mission-oriented approach to systematically tackle these challenges, accelerating innovation.
Tailored Talent Development: The “Distinguished Engineers Program”, jointly designed by both parties, will integrate Zoyn’s technical experts as mentors, fostering a new generation of interdisciplinary talent equipped with real-world problem-solving skills.
End-to-End Innovation Incubation: Supported by dedicated transformation fund, the center implements a three-stage validation system—lab prototype, pilot testing, and mass production—ensuring a smooth and efficient transition from research to commercialization.
This synergy of "academic brilliance and industrial pragmatism" not only propels Zoyn’s high-quality growth but also shaping the future of technological innovation. We remain steadfast in its mission to push the boundaries of magnetic materials technology, ensuring that it remains at the vanguard of global industrial progress.
