　　It is reported that the Beijing New Material Industry Development Annual Conference was hosted by the Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association. In 2019, to promote the continuous development and growth of new materials represented by graphene in Beijing, under the guidance of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, the Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association was established.

　　In the guest speech session, Guo Fu, President of Beijing Information Science and Technology University and the Chairman of Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association, said that as an important part of the two wings of the Beijing Graphene Industry Innovation Center, the Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association will strive to build a new material industrial agglomeration area represented by advanced materials, and build an integrated cooperation platform for the upstream and downstream of the industry. In the next phase, the Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association will further expand the scope of members under the guidance of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, and actively prepare for the establishment of the International Carbon Materials Union (ICMU) to help member units provide opportunities for international cooperation, and open up a new track and inject new momentum into accelerating the cultivation and formation of advanced productive forces.

　　As the leader of the innovation and development of Beijing’s graphene industry, how to better promote the development of the material industry in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in the future? Zhang Yuhang, an official of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, said that he hoped that the Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association would provide good services to enterprises in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and sort out the actual needs and main problems of enterprises; Focusing on industrial clusters, it should jointly attract investment across the country and even the world, and create high-quality activities with international influence in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region; It should be closely integrated with districts, counties and industrial parks to introduce enterprise projects into the districts and industrial parks, focus on building industrial corridors, and form a new pattern of industrial coordination; It should attach importance to the development and support of specialized and sophisticated enterprises, stimulate the vitality of small and medium enterprises, and promote the demonstration and promotion of new technologies, new applications and new models.

　　Cai Lupeng, Director of the Fangshan District Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, expressed in his speech that he looked forward to more in-depth discussions and cooperation between the Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association and the International Carbon Materials Union in the development and application of new materials. They would jointly promote the implementation of several scientific research achievements and industrial applications, jointly build an innovation ecosystem for the new material industry, and strive to make Fangshan district a global agglomerations area and vane of new material technological achievements.

　　The Advanced Seminar of the International Carbon Materials Union (ICMU) was held at the same time

　　At the site of the Beijing New Material Industry Development Annual Conference, William Liu, Secretary-General of the Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association, made a report - Work Report of Beijing Association for Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association (hereinafter referred to as the “Report”), which pointed out that the Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association has focused on building an international industry promotion platform since 2015. The International Carbon Materials Union (ICMU) is one of the key projects officially approved by the State Council for the construction of Beijing as an international science and technology innovation center in 2023. In the past 9 years, the Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association has participated in two national graphene industry researches, led the formulation of several national graphene standards in China, assisted in the establishment of China’s first provincial graphene manufacturing innovation center, driven more than 200 cutting-edge enterprises and institutions to participate in the co-construction, and organized several special seminars across the country, including assisting in the convening of 5 sessions of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Graphene Conference, participating 7 times of International Carbon Materials Conference, hosting of 2 sessions of the Graphene Forum and Exhibition of the CIFTIS, and the organization of 138 various exchange activities. With thousands of participating institutions and tens of thousands of people, the Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association has made important contributions to the development of the graphene industry in Beijing and even in China.

　　The International Carbon Materials Union (ICMU) in the report is an international NGO focusing on the field of carbon materials, focusing on the whole industry chain of carbon materials, building a platform for academic exchanges, consulting and training, achievement transformation, academia-enterprise cooperation, international standardization research, international cooperation on technology and trade, and promoting the coordinated development of carbon material technology industry. The reporter learned that on the day of the first Beijing New Material Industry Development Annual Conference, the Advanced Seminar of the International Carbon Materials Union (ICMU) was held at the same time, which also attracted many experts and scholars.

　　Zou Genhong, Planning Department, Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, Su Hang, Director and Professor of Digital R&D Center of China Iron & Steel Research Institute Group, Jin Xin, General Manager of the China Region, the Daigger Innovation and Entrepreneurship Lab at the University of Connecticut, Lu Lin, Senior Partner at Frejoo Capital, Xie Bin, Technical Consultant of Beijing Advanced Materials Industry Promotion Association made keynote speeches and shared hot topics of concern to the participants, such as new material policies, achievement transformation and finance to help the high-quality development of new material enterprises, and the IPO listing path of private enterprises.
