The University of Science and Technology Beijing formally established the Business School of Science and Technology, positioning it as a national-level hub for technology commercialization and interdisciplinary management education.
Lei Yang, a member of the Xiong'an New Area Working Committee and Deputy Director of its Administrative Committee, joined USTB Party Secretary Xiaoping Xu, President Zhaoping Lv, and Wei Gu, Dean of the Business School of Science and Technology, to unveil the plaque for the school.
Chunfang Lu, Anlin Shao and Zhixin Jin, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, attended the ceremony. Other guests came from 46 universities, including Peking University, Renmin University of China, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Nanjing University, and 32 enterprises, including China Minerals Corporation, BAIC Group, and BBMG Group.
Xiaoping Xu presented appointment letters to members of the school's international advisory board. The ceremony also featured the appointment of distinguished lecturers and industry experts, and the signing of industry-university-research cooperation agreements.
Lei Yang said the school aligned with Xiong'an's goal of building a global innovation highland and a high-quality development model, and that the area would provide policy, space, and funding support.
Zhaoping Lv called the establishment of the school a forward-looking move to transform traditional business education. He said it would draw on USTB's engineering heritage, align with Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development and Xiong'an construction, and link the innovation, industry, capital, and talent chains to cultivate new productive forces.
Professor Michael Pollitt, Director of the Energy Policy Research Centre at the University of Cambridge, and Jie Song, Party Secretary of Peking University's School of Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics, delivered congratulatory remarks.
The school will build a technology management talent training system integrating engineering with management and combining degree with non-degree education, embedding real technology transfer tasks into coursework, and will foster a government-university-research-enterprise-application ecosystem centered on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Chunfang Lu and Zhixin Jin delivered keynote reports, and participants at the Technology Business Innovation Forum discussed AI-driven industry-education integration.
