CMIT conducts joint R&D with the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. By developing key core technologies in the green conversion of CO₂, the two sides have realized the development and large-scale demonstration of technologies that convert CO₂ into high-value-added fuels, chemicals and protein feed.At present, relying on advanced fermentation technologies, the Company has built cell factories covering 12 product lines in bulk chemicals as well as flavor and fragrance sectors. Among them, six cell factories for mannitol, mevalonic acid, protocatechuic acid, geraniol, geranyl acetate and vanillin glycoside have achieved the highest yields reported in public literature.

Novel polymer-based composite templates are fabricated via interfacial composite technology with bio-based raw materials as the core substrate. They feature multiple advantages including light weight, high strength, demoulding-agent free application, convenient construction and recycle ability.Adopting a general modular design, our products share unified modulus with the aluminum alloy formwork system. The reinforcement system meets the high standard of four inner supports and five outer supports. With universal accessories and cross-scenario compatibility, the templates are applicable to residential buildings, basements, factory plants and other construction scenarios.At present, CMIT has established a near-full-cycle management and control system. On the basis of national and industrial standards, the Company has led the formulation of two association standards, providing standardized and high-performance formwork solutions for the green and low-carbon development of construction industrialization.

Jointly developed with the Shenzhen Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, the project targets China’s three major high-incidence lethal diseases: respiratory diseases, cerebrovascular diseases and malignant tumors. Adopting novel flexible body and micro-nano robotics technologies, it enables flexible access to target regions and precise lesion manipulation. Combined with multi-modal image navigation and heterogeneous master-slave control technologies, it establishes a new type of robotic auxiliary micro-noninvasive interventional diagnosis and treatment device system, and builds demonstration applications for industrial deployment.

The project on the production of astaxanthin and cecropin antimicrobial peptides using synthetic biology technology is jointly developed by CMIT and the research team led by Professor Liu Meixing from the College of Life Sciences, Zhejiang University.Adopting synthetic biology as an alternative to traditional chemical synthesis and natural extraction methods, the project produces astaxanthin and cecropin antimicrobial peptides, featuring outstanding advantages in economic efficiency, environmental friendliness and production efficiency.Astaxanthin, known as "super vitamin E", delivers powerful antioxidant effects, while cecropin antimicrobial peptides can serve as a viable substitute for conventional antibiotics.With promising prospects for achievement transformation, the technology can be applied to manufacture bulk feed products as well as high-value-added end products for health care and cosmetics. It is expected to capture considerable market share by virtue of higher potency and lower production costs.
