"Compared to other exhibitions, The Light Expo has stronger professionalism, More comprehensive coverage of the subdivision field of optoelectronics. " Zhuo Changzheng talked about, The Light Expo can fully leverage the advantages of regional industrial clusters, Provide enterprises with efficient opportunities for industry university research cooperation and docking, Promote technological innovation and achievement transformation. simultaneously, The radiation range of the Light Expo is wide, Attracted numerous industry professionals from home and abroad to participate, Built a high-quality platform for enterprises to expand into domestic and international markets. "This is incomparable to other exhibitions. " He commented that.

At previous light exhibitions, Youweixin meets a large medical equipment manufacturer from Southeast Asia. "This has become a key resource driving our business development. " Memories of Zhuo Changzheng, At the Light Expo site, The other party is against Youweixin UVB　LED There is a strong interest in the potential application of chips in the field of optical medicine. After multiple rounds of communication and cooperation negotiations, both parties, Reached a long-term cooperation agreement.

"This company will UVB LED The chip is applied in the new phototherapy equipment produced by it, Utilize their well-established sales channels in Southeast Asia, Our product has successfully entered the Southeast Asian optomedical market. " Zhuo Changzheng said, This not only brings a large number of orders, Improved product market share, It also prompts Youweixin to address the special needs of the medical field, Further optimize chip performance and quality control system, Promoted the technological research and market expansion of enterprises in the field of optomedical segmentation.

Guanggu's innovative model significantly enhances the resilience of the industrial chain

"In Optics Valley, Innovation is never a solo show. " Zhuo Chang interprets the innovation code of Optics Valley in this way. in his view, The core competitiveness of the Light Expo compared to other exhibitions, Originating from its roots in "Optics Valley of China" Unique genes - Not only does Huazhong University of Science and Technology gather here, Top research institutions such as Wuhan Optoelectronics National Research Center, More constructed from materials, The complete industry chain from device to terminal application, Facilitate communication between enterprises "chemical reaction" Generating innovative networks.

This synergistic effect is particularly evident in the cooperation between Youweixin and Changfei Fiber. Compared to traditional mercury lamp curing, ultraviolet LED The product has a fast startup speed, low energy consumption, Advantages such as non-toxic and environmentally friendly, Can achieve more precise curing control. Two companies jointly tackle and take the lead in achieving ultraviolet technology LED Application of solidification technology in the production of drawing, coating, and coloring of Changfei fiber optic cables. The data shows, Compared to existing technologies, Significantly reduced energy consumption in the UV curing process of fiber drawing coatings 70%above, Improved fiber drawing speed 20%. Significant energy-saving effect, Improvement of fiber drawing speed and long service life, Significantly reduced the production cost of Changfei fiber optic.

this kind of "Chip companies+Application leader" The collaborative innovation model, Generating a chain reaction in Optics Valley. When the UV chip of Youweixin is embedded in the production line of Changfei fiber optic, Not only does it solve the production pain points of individual enterprises, Achieved autonomous controllability of key processes, It also boosted the competitiveness of downstream enterprises such as Changfei Fiber Optic, Pulling upstream materials, Synchronous innovation of midstream equipment enterprises, Established new technical standards for the industry. As Zhuo Changzheng said: "This innovative collaboration significantly enhances the resilience of the industrial chain. "

in his view, The Light Expo is not just an exhibition, It is also the light valley that delivers to the world "Industry Business Card" . Like a "Resource Hub" - 　Capital discovers hard tech potential stocks here, Talents find the soil for technology implementation here, Enterprises collide here to spark cross-border innovation. "For example, the new project we are currently working on, Future plans to connect with the global market through the Light Expo, implement 'Chip luminous efficiency' and 'Equipment operation accuracy' Collaborative optimization. " Zhuo Changzheng revealed.

Youweixin conquered it in the first five years UVC　LED The problem of light decay, Finally ushered in the outbreak of global disinfection and sterilization demand; Join the global UV community in the second five years UV　LED first echelon. During this period, I experienced countless experimental failures, But always believe - As long as it is rooted in the industry chain, it is essential, Make technology work "irreplaceable" , We can definitely wait until the outbreak period.

"now, Our UV chips are not only used for home appliance sterilization, Further into biological testing, High end fields such as air purification. " In Zhuo Changzheng's view, This confirms a truth: Can withstand the loneliness of the laboratory, Only then can we see the future of the industry. "Hope more young companies can focus on it 'stranglehold' link, Find your own coordinates in the ecology of Optics Valley, The next hidden champion, Perhaps it's in the laboratory and production line that we stick to every day. " The interview is coming to an end, He said expectantly, When every enterprise becomes a member of the industrial chain "Strong node" , When every innovation aims for world-class "Real demand" , "Optics Valley of China" toward "World Optics Valley" The Journey, It will surely consist of countless "Ten years to sharpen a sword" The story is written together.
