Recently, Yang Xianjin, Secretary of the Party Committee of Tianjin University, led a delegation to visit and guide Shenzhen ANKNOR Technology Co., Ltd. (ANKNOR). The company’s management and employee representatives received them warmly and held a forum for exchanges. This visit focused on university-enterprise collaborative innovation, especially in the field of core products such as high-end precision connectors, injecting new momentum into promoting in-depth integration of industry, university and research.

Accompanied by ANKNOR’s senior management, Secretary Yang Xianjin and his entourage focused on visiting the enterprise exhibition hall and connector product production line, and learned in detail about the company’s R&D progress and production processes in products such as industrial waterproof signal connectors and waterproof power connectors. As an important enterprise in China’s high-end precision connector field, ANKNOR’s products are widely used in high-precision industries such as intelligent manufacturing, aerospace, and outdoor engineering. Secretary Yang Xianjin highly recognized the company’s technological breakthroughs in the extreme environment application and high reliability of connector systems, and proposed that universities and enterprises could carry out joint research around directions such as “high-performance connector material R&D” and “signal transmission optimization”.

At the forum, taking ANKNOR’s core product – high-end precision connectors – as the entry point, both sides in-depth discussed how to leverage Tianjin University’s advantages in materials science, control engineering and other disciplines to jointly promote the technological upgrading of connector products in terms of extreme environment adaptability and transmission efficiency. ANKNOR stated that the company will actively promote the establishment of a “Special Connector Joint Laboratory” with Tianjin University, carry out customized talent training programs, realize full-chain coverage from theoretical innovation to industrial application, help break foreign technological monopolies, and enhance the core competitiveness of the national industry.

This exchange further clarified the direction and path of university-enterprise cooperation. Taking connector products as a pilot, ANKNOR will work with Tianjin University to promote the pilot test and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and explore a closed-loop mechanism of “university R&D – enterprise transformation – market feedback”. Secretary Yang Xianjin pointed out that university-enterprise cooperation should be based on the national demand for high-end equipment manufacturing, focus on ANKNOR’s industrial foundation in the connector field, and realize the transformation from single product cooperation to systematic and ecological collaboration, providing support for the construction of China’s independent and controllable industrial transmission technology system.

Taking this visit as an opportunity, ANKNOR will continue to deepen strategic cooperation with Tianjin University, take connector technology as the link, promote in-depth integration of industry, university, research and application, and contribute enterprise strength to China’s intelligent manufacturing moving towards a high level of self-reliance and self-improvement.
