Six Future Industries-Advanced Strategic Materials

Development Foundation
Xiamen possesses a solid foundation and advantages in technological innovation within the advanced strategic materials sector. The city has cultivated three national “Little Giant” enterprises (specializing in niche technologies) and eight municipal-level equivalents. With dedicated parks such as the Torch Graphene New Material Industrial Park, Xiamen has introduced and incubated over 100 graphene-related projects. The city has established R&D and production capabilities in graphene and carbon fiber, with key enterprises such as Knano Graphene, G-CVD Graphene Technology, Stren Composite, Topkey, and Fuhua Technology. Xiamen also boasts innovation platforms including Xiamen University Energy Materials Chemistry Collaborative Innovation Center, Tan Kah Kee Innovation Laboratory, Xiamen Rare Earth Institute, and Huaqiao University. These institutions have driven innovation in areas such as perovskite solar cells, perovskite photovoltaic modules, and liquid metal 3D printing technology.
