Beijing Institute of Collaborative Innovation is a non-profit innovation platform jointly established by 13 universities, including Peking University and Tsinghua University, in 2014. Focusing on intelligent manufacturing, optoelectronics, materials, medical devices, biomedicine and environmental protection, the Institute cooperates with first-class universities at home and abroad to research and develop leading cutting-edge technologies. Build an engineering technology platform by itself or jointly with relevant units, set up a full-time scientific research team, and continuously accelerate the research and development of cutting-edge technology into original engineering technology; To implement technology industrialization and form advanced productive forces by establishing enterprises with technology as shares, or by transferring and licensing technology; The world's first intellectual property fund has been set up to support technology research and development in the form of scientific research investment, and the Industrial Acceleration Fund has been set up to support technology industrialization in the form of equity investment. A capital chain covering the entire innovation chain and a market-based resource allocation mechanism have been formed to promote the integration of science, technology and economy.
At present, the collaborative hospital set up the branch in the United States, Britain, Hong Kong, with a group of international top universities to establish the relationship between the official cooperation, establish a multiple technology research and development platform and industrialization base, implement a group of world-class scientific research project, each year has nurtured hundreds of high growth "hard" science and technology enterprises, cultivate a large number of graduate students innovative undertaking, A development pattern of "Beijing coordination, global RESEARCH and development, and global transformation" has been initially formed, and it has initially become a common innovation and entrepreneurship base for a group of world famous universities.
