On September 22, 2016, Li Jiheng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, led the main leaders of the Party and government of the autonomous region to visit the Inner Mongolia Graphene Materials Research Institute to guide the work and visit the Graphene Technology Exhibition Hall. Fu Taizeng, Member of the Standing Committee of the Autonomous Region Party Committee and Executive Vice Chairman of the Autonomous Region Government, Wang Zhonghe, Member of the Standing Committee of the Autonomous Region Party Committee and Secretary of the Baotou Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Yuanzhong, Member of the Standing Committee of the Autonomous Region Party Committee and Secretary General, Wang Huancheng, Vice Chairman of the Autonomous Region Political Consultative Conference, and Du Xuejun, Deputy Secretary of the Baotou Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, accompanied the investigation.

During the investigation, the leaders of the group and the institute introduced the development of graphene industry in Inner Mongolia, the research progress of the research institute, the progress of graphene research and development and industrialization, and the advantages and environment of developing graphene industry in our district. Secretary Li listened to the report in detail and visited the graphene industry chain exhibition hall, asking about the distribution of graphite ore resources in our district, the field of graphene research and development, graphene-related application products, etc., to understand the whole industry chain of graphene.
Secretary Li pointed out that the current graphene industrialization mainly revolves around three issues, one is the need for breakthroughs in key graphene technologies, the other is the research and development of downstream applications, and the third is the guidance of industrial application technologies. He also emphasized that it is necessary to give full play to the advantages of abundant graphite ore resources, strong research team strength of the research institute, and strong industrial foundation of Baotou City. Combined with the development trends of graphene industry and industry at home and abroad, we should pay attention to the exchange and integration of graphene information and technology, and accelerate the integration of graphene information and technology. The graphene industry is developing rapidly. Secretary Li spoke highly of the contribution made by the Inner Mongolia Graphene Materials Research Institute to promoting the development of the graphene industry in Inner Mongolia. The leaders of the institute said that the Inner Mongolia Graphene Materials Research Institute will work harder, support the resource advantages of Inner Mongolia, focus on the powerful functional characteristics of new graphene materials, and take technological innovation as the driving force to continue to deepen the production-university-research model and actively promote the graphene industry. The development of industrialization drives the transformation and upgrading of other industries.
