A few days ago, the list of "Demonstration Enterprises of 2021 China Industry-University-Research Institute Cooperation Innovation" recognized by China Industry-University-Research Institute Collaboration Association was selected and announced. Led by BEWG Education Center and jointly declared by BEWG Research Institute, the selection was comprehensively evaluated by China Industry-University-Research Institute Collaboration Association and experts from government, industry, university and research circles. BEWG was successfully selected for its outstanding performance in industry-university-research institute innovation cooperation, scientific research and development and achievement transformation, and talents training.

China Industry-University-Research Institute Collaboration Association is a high-level collaborative innovation service platform, under management of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, established by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering and other relevant departments, as well as universities, research institutes, enterprises and other government, industry, university and research institutes. Demonstration enterprises of China's industry-university-research institute cooperation innovation is a national award in the field of industry-university-research institute cooperation, aiming at giving full play to the leading demonstration role of enterprises in industry-university-research institute cooperation innovation, improving the effectiveness of commercialization of technological research results, and enhancing the core competitiveness and innovation of enterprises.

At present, scientific and technological innovation has been placed at the core of innovation-driven development. Facing the important task of realizing high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, the industry-university-research institute-end user integration undertakes the important task and mission of promoting scientific and technological innovation and transformation of achievements. As a leading enterprise focusing on water resources recycling and water ecological environment protection in China, BEWG began to explore and practice the deep integration of industries, universities research institutes and end users as early as 2013 under the guidance of the Group's innovation strategy.
