As an international platform for China Building Materials Group to focus on the technical service of glass new materials engineering, with the help of the "three-chain integration" three-precision quality management model, Academia Sinica Group has created a new model of "technology research and development + engineering service". The engineering chain is driven by technology R & D and equipment development, multi-mode EPC general contracting and comprehensive service industry chain, and higher quality iterative feedback promotes the innovation chain. Create a high-level dynamic closed loop of "R & D, design, construction, production and operation", and strive to enhance the global dominance and influence of China's new glass material industry chain supply chain.

In the process of promoting industrial internationalization and manufacturing internationalization with engineering internationalization, Academia Sinica Group has brought superior technology, superior standards and superior services to the world, independently developed high-quality float glass technology and ultra-white high-transmittance photovoltaic glass technology and complete sets of equipment, helping downstream enterprises to become the world's top automotive glass and photovoltaic glass manufacturers, supporting the great-leap-forward development of China's automobile industry and photovoltaic industry.

At present, the group's high-end glass engineering global market share of more than 65%, built China's largest export scale of float glass production line-South Korea KCC1200 ton project, a cumulative export of high-end glass production lines and related projects more than 60, developed more than 50 customers in "Belt and Road Initiative" countries and regions Continue to provide engineering services for leading enterprises such as Fuyao, Xinyi and Fulette (17.900, 0.22,1.24%), and have been listed in the "first phalanx" of ENR international engineering and design companies for many years, completely rewriting the global market pattern of glass engineering and technical services. It is precisely because of the support of the innovation chain and the engineering chain that the upstream and downstream enterprises of new glass materials further pull and drive the strong chain extension and complement chain of the new glass materials, forming a financing development model of "innovation chain sharing, engineering chain linkage, industrial chain cooperation".

Quality construction is the key to speed up the upgrading of the whole industry chain. Academia Sinica Group has created the agglomeration trend of new silicon-based materials such as China Glass New material Science and Technology Industrial Park, New display Industrial Park and High-end equipment Industrial Park. the whole industrial chain system such as new display, new energy glass, applied materials, special glass and high-end equipment has been established, and a number of major iconic core technologies and complete sets of equipment have been developed to drive more than a thousand upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain with active innovation, remarkable benefits and excellent quality.
