Turning our "global design, source local" strategic
vision into reality requires re-orientation of our
R&D efforts towards solid state science and an open
collaboration environment that constantly delivers
better innovations, although with significant number
of design engineers, company's ambitions cannot be simply
achieved by working internally, we increasingly
operate in an cooperation mode to strengthen design and
R&D capability by tapping into external resources, to
do this, the company has built up a network of some
external research institutions globally to allow us to work
regularly with technologists in research establishments
and private industries over the world. These cooperations
are mutually benefitial, the company is benefited from
identifying new opportunities and integrating them into
business, our partners benefit from access to our
specialist knowledge as well as new business exploration.
