山东烟台地处胶东半岛，是我国北方第一个经济总量过万亿元的地级市。2023年，经济总量达到1.03万 亿元；2024年稳步前行，实现经济总量1.08万亿元。今年前三季度，烟台市实现地区生产总值8223.52亿 元，同比增长6.4％。 经济总量过万亿元不仅是量的增加，更意味着烟台集聚资源的能力增强，发展空间更广，承担的责任更 重。 2024年5月，习近平总书记在山东考察时要求山东加快建设绿色低碳高质量发展先行区，打造高水平对 外开放新高地，奋力谱写中国式现代化山东篇章。 山东部署构建济南、青岛、烟台"三核引领"发展格局，特别提出"支持烟台打造绿色低碳高质量发展示 范城市"，要求烟台在先行区走在前、作示范。 "这是新时代赋予烟台的重大使命，也是烟台推进高质量发展的重大机遇。"山东省委常委、烟台市委书 记江成说，绿色生态是烟台最亮丽的标识，发展中要有这样坚定的信念和追求：像保护眼睛一样保护自 然和生态环境。 绿色低碳高质量发展牵动着烟台推进产业、能源、城市、生活转型升级的澎湃波涛，一座绿意盎然、生 机勃发的生态之城，正在黄海与渤海汇聚的地方奋然崛起。 一池春水—— 万亿之城向"绿"而生 认识烟台，绕不开两个70％：在 ...

Core Viewpoint - The collaboration between XueTian Salt Industry Group and Fudan University marks a significant step in the traditional salt industry’s transition into the smart fiber and new materials sector, showcasing a model for traditional industries to upgrade and innovate [1][3]. Group 1: Company Strategy - XueTian Salt Industry has invested 51 million yuan to acquire a 51% stake in the newly established "Intelligent Fiber New Energy Materials Research Institute," indicating its commitment to diversifying beyond traditional salt production [1]. - The company aims to implement a dual-driven development model of "salt industry + new energy," leveraging its existing resources and technology in the salt chemical industry to explore new opportunities [1][3]. - The chairman emphasized that the move into new energy materials is a deepening of the salt industry value chain rather than a blind expansion away from its core business [1]. Group 2: Research and Development - The research institute will be supported by a top-tier research team from Fudan University, led by Academician Peng Huisheng, known for their work in multifunctional fiber devices that integrate power generation, storage, and sensing capabilities [2]. - The team has achieved significant recognition, including 81 domestic and international patents and a high citation rate of 21,000 in SCI, which will facilitate the commercialization of laboratory results [2]. - The collaboration creates a "government-industry-university-research application" ecosystem, involving local government support and focusing on eight major research directions, including material synthesis and energy conversion devices [2]. Group 3: Industry Implications - The strategic significance of this initiative extends beyond the company, as smart fibers are expected to reshape multiple industries, including renewable energy and healthcare, by enabling flexible energy storage and advanced monitoring technologies [3]. - XueTian Salt Industry's 51% stake reflects its determination to take the lead in innovation within the high-tech industry chain, providing a reference model for similar traditional enterprises facing development challenges [3]. - The establishment of the research institute represents a proactive response from traditional industries to embrace new productive forces, combining substantial investment with collaborative innovation to enhance technological prospects [3].
