On July 18, the University of Science and Technology Beijing held the establishment ceremony for its new Business School of Science and Technology in the Xiong'an New Area, as reported by China Education News.
More than 100 representatives from 46 universities and 32 enterprises attended, alongside three academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and senior officials from the Xiong'an New Area.
Lei Yang, Deputy Director of the Xiong'an New Area Management Committee, Xiaoping Xu (USTB Party Secretary), Zhaoping Lv (USTB President), and Wei Gu, Dean of the new school, jointly unveiled the plaque for the school. The ceremony also included the appointment of members to the International Advisory Committee and of industry mentors, and the signing of industry-university-research cooperation agreements.
The school will build a technology management talent training system that integrates engineering with management and connects degree and non-degree education. It will embed real technology transfer tasks into coursework and project practice, and link government bodies, universities, research institutes, leading enterprises, industrial parks, and science and finance institutions across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
The Xiong'an New Area would provide comprehensive support in policy, space, and funding to help the school become an innovation model serving national strategy, Yang said.
Lu said the school would pioneer new paths in innovative talent cultivation, interdisciplinary integration, and regional industry empowerment. Chunfang Lu and Zhixin Jin, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered keynote reports on major engineering innovation and new quality productive forces, and participants at the day-long forum discussed AI-driven business school development.
