Established jointly by research teams from Peking University, alumni from domestic and overseas, and leading enterprises in new materials, this initiative is dedicated to breaking through the "bottleneck" technologies and enhancing the market competitiveness of research achievements in new materials. It is oriented towards new material technology innovation and market demand, aiming to solve common technical problems in the industry and industrialize them; it does so by introducing innovative entrepreneurial talent from domestic and overseas, and supporting the landing of scientific and technological projects. The main goal is to incubate high-tech enterprises and gradually form an innovation and entrepreneurship platform.

The R&D Center mainly focuses on research and industrialization in areas such as modification of thermoplastic polymers, aerospace composite materials, new energy materials, and nanomaterials. It aims to transform core achievements in aerospace new materials, electric vehicles, new energy, and other professional technologies, and to apply them in military-civil integration in structural and functional integrated materials. Through cooperation with talents, engineers, and capital from domestic and overseas sources, it aims to become an industrialized new material research center and a base for talent training, new material research and development, and achievement transformation in structural and functional materials.

In terms of the innovation and entrepreneurship model, it relies on the talent and research results of the Institute of New Structural Materials of School of Materials Science and Engineering at Peking Universityto attract domestic and foreign talents. It establishes a technical research and industrialization team in Lin-gang, Shanghai, implements project landing, establishes high-tech enterprises, and carries out investment and financing operations.
