Wang Zhigong: Let the "peaches and plums" living abroad return to China to start a business

Professor Wang Zhigong is a distinguished expert of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and the honorary director of the Institute of Radio Frequency and Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits of Southeast University.

Start a business in Nanjing. Such a scene also happened 25 years ago.

Twenty-five years ago, Wang Zhigong obtained his Ph.D. from Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and has continued his post-doctoral research for thirteen years. At this time, Southeast University sent his former teacher to Germany and invited him back to Jiangsu. At the time, he contributed to the domestic integrated circuit industry that was waiting for a long time. At the same time, the government and schools also provided him with a lot of convenience. He recalled, "I returned to China as an expert to settle down in China, which is a very important support from the state for our talents studying abroad.

Speaking of his students, he proudly said: "There are quite a number of talents that I have trained, and they are now in China, especially It is the education front, the scientific research front, and the entrepreneurship field." For many students studying abroad, he always throws an olive branch, just like the invitation from his alma mater back then, to the overseas students. Explain the good domestic systems and policies, so that they can truly feel the fertile soil created by Jiangsu for innovation and entrepreneurship.

Liu Yi: A "piece" patriotic "core"

Liu Yi, a specially-appointed expert of Jiangsu Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, professor and doctoral supervisor of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, and chairman of Fuxin (Nanjing) Integrated Circuit Research Institute Co., Ltd., has worked as a teacher in Japan for nearly ten years, and has worked in the United States for fourteen years. He participated in the earliest WIFI at the beginning of the century. chip research. During these years abroad, he has been looking for a suitable opportunity to come back and contribute his knowledge in chip manufacturing to the country. When he returned to the motherland ten years ago, he first settled in Shanghai. He was attracted by Jiangsu's good policies and good platforms, and then returned to Jiangsu.

This is my ideal."

Ding Rong: come from his hometown, return to his hometown for research, and become his hometown business

Ding Rong, a special expert of Jiangsu Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and chairman of Taizhou Juna New Energy Co., Ltd., is mainly engaged in the research and industrialization of low-dimensional materials. Twelve years ago, low-dimensional materials emerged as a new field. When he was studying at a university in China, Ding Rong met many like-minded friends. Later, everyone went to Singapore, the United States and other places to contact each other. It has been 12 years. At present, the national standards of the industry are formulated by Ding Rong's team, and they are also formulating international standards for the industry.
