On June 4, the final review meeting of the Chinese Academy of Engineering's strategic research and consulting project, "Research on the Development Strategy of Fiber Products and Their Industry for Emergency and Security Protection," was held in Yinchuan, Ningxia.
The meeting was attended by Sun Ruizhe, Party Secretary and President of the China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC); Wang Xiaowen, Director of the Office of the Environmental and Light Textile Engineering Division of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; and Wu Tong, Deputy Director of the Textile Department of the Consumer Goods Industry Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Seven industry experts, including Cheng Bowen, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor at Tianjin University of Science and Technology, served as evaluation experts. More than 80 project team members, including academicians Yu Jianyong, Sun Jinliang, Jiang Shicheng, Xu Weilin, and Sun Yize; Li Lingshen, Vice President of CNTAC; Li Guimei, President of the China Nonwovens & Industrial Textiles Association (CNITA); as well as representatives from universities, research institutes, and enterprises, participated either online or onsite.
The final review meeting was co-chaired by Yu Jianyong, the project leader, and Cheng Bowen, the leader of the evaluation expert group.
At the meeting, Yu Jianyong presented the general overview of the project. The Chinese Academy of Engineering established the key research consulting project "Research on the Development Strategy of Fiber Products and Their Industry for Emergency and Security Protection" (an academic division-level project) to provide scientific guidance for the development of fiber products for emergency and security protection and their industry through systematic research. The project team brought together experts and scholars from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, industry associations, research institutes, and industry enterprises, and was composed of four research groups: the General Group, the Natural Disaster Group, the Accident Disaster Group, and the Public Emergency Group. Since the project's launch, each research group has conducted studies focusing on China's demand for fiber products for emergency and security protection and their industrial development, achieving significant results.
Li Guimei, on behalf of the project team, delivered the final report, covering the project background, research findings, industrial policy recommendations, and project performance indicators. The project team conducted a comprehensive analysis of the industrial chain and key nodes of emergency and security protection fiber products, identified the critical bottlenecks restricting industrial upgrading and the list of "bottleneck" technologies and products, systematically analyzed typical breakthrough cases in key areas, and formed a list of technologies recommended for promotion, key special projects, and implementation pathways. Policy recommendations were proposed in six areas: R&D of key technologies, optimization of industrial layout, improvement of product quality, enhancement of support capabilities, brand and enterprise upgrading, and industry-university-research collaboration, fulfilling the project's performance indicators.
Li Lingshen, speaking on behalf of the project team, stated that the team would earnestly implement the experts' suggestions for industry development, focusing on three main areas: first, continuing to overcome critical "bottleneck" technologies, strengthening fundamental research and theoretical breakthroughs, building an original technology system integrating "extreme protection and intelligent perception," establishing basic research on multi-hazard coupling mechanisms, and promoting the industrialization of innovative achievements; second, advancing the high-end transformation of industrial technology infrastructure, improving standards and evaluation systems, reforming procurement and market mechanisms, and establishing an evaluation system based on actual protective performance; third, using AI technology to drive the industry's digital and intelligent transformation, supporting research in frontier areas such as materials genetic engineering and intelligent protective equipment, and forming a technology innovation ecosystem driven by data, knowledge sharing, and collaborative evolution.
After thorough discussion, the evaluation expert group fully affirmed and highly appraised the project's achievements. They concluded that the project conducted in-depth research on issues such as the weak research foundation of fiber products for emergency and security protection and their industry, comprehensively sorted out key nodes in industrial development, analyzed bottleneck products and technologies, and proposed mechanisms for industrial development, high-quality development implementation pathways, and policy recommendations. This is of great significance for improving and enhancing China's public security capability and promoting the high-quality development of the fiber products industry for emergency and security protection. The project's research was comprehensive in scope, scientifically sound in methodology, clear in logic, and its recommendations are macro-level, forward-looking, strategic, and systematic. The evaluation experts unanimously agreed that the project met the requirements of the task book indicators and approved the final acceptance.
Sun Ruizhe noted that fiber products for emergency and security protection connect national security on one hand and millions of households on the other, serving as an important pillar for the textile industry to serve the national economy and people's livelihoods. For future development, Sun Ruizhe proposed four suggestions: first, strengthen the foundation – continuously enhance fundamental research and original innovation, overcome bottlenecks in core technologies for specialized fiber material equipment, and accelerate the establishment of a data-driven research paradigm; second, expand scenarios – extend the value space, orient R&D toward end-user needs, accelerate the industrialization and large-scale application of technologies, respect industrial and market laws, and actively connect to emerging tracks and future industries; third, strengthen standards – coordinate technology R&D with patent布局, transform technological advantages into brand advantages and rule advantages, and gain leadership and influence; fourth, broaden linkages – improve the ecological support, enhance industrial resilience through system capabilities, deepen the industry-university-research collaboration model, and promote the efficient flow of technology, capital, talent, and data. At the same time, with an open mind and diverse cooperation, deeply integrate into global innovation. Sun Ruizhe emphasized that based on these four aspects, we should consolidate the foundation of industrial security through scientific and technological breakthroughs, and contribute textile strength to building a grand framework for comprehensive security and emergency response.
Wang Xiaowen expressed her congratulations on the successful implementation and completion of the project, affirmed the project team's pragmatic and truth-seeking work attitude, and extended sincere thanks to the academicians and experts attending the review meeting. She noted that the project was solidly implemented, scientifically researched, and produced fruitful results, and expressed her hope that the project team would further refine the project's outcomes and continue follow-up research to better serve major national strategic needs.
Finally, Yu Jianyong, academician and project leader, expressed his heartfelt thanks to the leaders and experts attending the final review meeting, and noted that the project team would further refine the report content and promote the implementation of the project.
