By adhering to “four orientations” in technological innovation, CBMA aims to foster a cradle of original technologies while intensifying fundamental research and making improvement in discipline layout, so that a synergy of top innovation resources at home and abroad can be realized and a key sci-tech innovation system characterized by “empowering enterprises with advantageous disciplines” can be established. In this way, CBMA will continue its endeavor in holding high ground in innovation by focusing on 7 disciplines, namely cement, glass, ceramic, IOL, composite material, refractory material, and testing, thus pressing ahead with exploration in new fields and interdisciplinary frontiers. Since the implementation of the 14th Five Year Plan, CBMA has served as the initiator of 38 projects in total, including 10 projects under the SKRD Program, 6 NSFC projects, and 22 CNBM-led projects. Currently, CBMA boasts 7 state and provincial/ministerial key laboratories, 1 national center for technology innovation, 24 state and provincial/ministerial engineering research centers, 35 national industry testing centers, and 10 national standardization technical committees. Thanks to its nearly 5000 technologists, CBMA has completed over 3600 national and industry research projects, with over 1200 state and provincial/ministerial awards having been granted. In addition, it has published 19 international standards and more than 1400 national and industry standards, and held 4200+ patents.
