In early September, 2019, Sinochem, ChemChina and Shanghai City signed a strategic cooperation agreement. It is expected that in the future the three parties will conduct more practical cooperation in the fields of energy, chemical industry, agriculture, urban operation, finance, life science, material science and environmental science. Innovation, interaction and integration serve as the main concept of the development.
The chairman of ChemChina expressed that the cooperation between Sinochem and ChemChina aims at improving China’s innovation in the aspect of global energy and enhancing the country’s industrial status in chemical and agricultural industries. During the cooperation, both companies will be transformed into innovative companies with the focus on scientific technology. The goal is to become one of the top comprehensive scientific chemical enterprises with life science and material science as the lead, petrochemical industry as the support and environmental science as the guarantee.
It is also
emphasized that a research and development platform concerning life science,
advanced materials, polymer additives and new energy resources will be created
in Shanghai. In this way, technological innovation and industrialization can be
improved accordingly. In addition, intelligent teams will be constructed in a
better way through relevant scientific projects so that the transformation of
scientific research achievements can be accelerated. What’s more, the companies will pay highly
attention to the construction of high-quality industrial bases along the Yangtze
River. National chemical parks and provincial chemical parks will be
intensified and integrated in the development.
