Yongjiang Laboratory

Materials form the basis of human survival and development and lie at the heart of all scientific and technological progress. Materials are also the precursors of high-tech development and social modernization. To embrace the upcoming scientific and technological revolution as well as combat the challenges faced by mankind, Zhejiang Province and Ningbo City have made the strategic decision to launch the Yongjiang Laboratory (Y-LAB) to facilitate the creation of a sustainable future. Focusing on new materials and related areas, Y-LAB is committed to delivering cutting-edge basic research, developing world-changing technologies and creating a sustainable innovation ecosystem. Aimed at becoming one of the most influential research institutes in the world, we push the boundaries of knowledge and contribute to society. We power innovation to build a better world. History and reality tell us that it is a challenging and complicated process to bring great science and innovative solutions to industry and society. One subject, one team or one research institute can struggle to deliver this independently. With a new organizational model and mechanism, Y-LAB will work extensively with our partners to raise our overarching research capabilities and innovation efficiency. We endeavor to become an original innovator, resource allocation manager, systematic problem solver and innovation ecosystem creator.
