On August 30, Hu Fan, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of the High-tech Zone, held a symposium with Liu Lei, Chairman of Dalian Kemaier Marine Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Kemaier), to gain an in-depth understanding of the company’s current development status, actively align with its needs, accelerate the advancement of marine technology projects, stimulate corporate innovation, and enhance the zone’s capacity for marine science and technology innovation. Guo Xiangyu, a member of the leadership team of the Management Committee, attended the meeting, along with principal officials from the District Social Administration Bureau, the Natural Resources Bureau, and the Investment Promotion Bureau, as well as key representatives from Dalian Kemaier.

Comair is an offshore engineering equipment manufacturer that integrates research and development, design, production, and construction. The company is committed to technological innovation, equipment development, and engineering applications in areas such as corrosion protection for offshore structures, structural safety, and intelligent monitoring and control, providing systematic solutions to enhance the safety and durability of marine structures and engineering equipment. Comair has been recognized as a “National High-Tech Enterprise,” a “Demonstration Project for the First (Set) of Key Technological Equipment in Priority Areas of Dalian’s Manufacturing Sector,” a “Gazelle Enterprise of Liaoning Province,” and a “Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise of Liaoning Province.”

During the symposium, Liu Lei provided a brief overview of the company’s operations, core technologies, and development needs, and expressed his gratitude for the High-tech Zone’s longstanding strong support for the company’s growth. He noted that Comair was founded in and has grown within the High-tech Zone, leveraging the Zone’s robust science and education resources to build an integrated industry–university–research collaborative innovation platform. This initiative is driving industrial innovation—from “zero to one” and from “one to N”—and fostering new momentum for the development of Dalian’s marine engineering industry. The company currently plans to further expand its production and R&D scale and accelerate its pace of development. He expressed the hope that the High-tech Zone will continue to provide steadfast support and assistance to the company in project construction, resource matching, and other areas, thereby helping the company achieve healthy and rapid growth.

Hu Fan fully commended Komail’s achievements in focusing on the marine economy and steadfastly pursuing independent innovation, and expressed strong support for the company’s development strategy of deepening its expertise in high-tech fields and concentrating its efforts on growth. He stated that the High-tech Zone boasts a long coastline, abundant resources, and significant potential in the marine industry, making it a key platform for advancing marine science and technology. Currently, the High-tech Zone is aligning with the city’s goal of building a modern marine city that integrates land and sea development, accelerating the strategic layout of the marine industry, continuously enhancing its capacity for marine scientific and technological innovation, and harnessing new-quality productive forces to inject fresh vitality into the marine economy.

Hu Fan pointed out that Comair, as an innovative enterprise nurtured in the High-tech Zone and dedicated to the marine technology sector, should fully leverage its role as a key innovation driver, deeply tap into the research strengths of local universities and research institutes, deepen collaborative innovation among government, industry, academia, and research institutions, and promote the localized translation and industrialization of more science-and-tech achievements. While taking into account overall considerations such as industrial planning, supporting infrastructure, and the district’s aesthetic character, it is essential to maintain rigorous standards in project planning and deliver high-quality, landmark projects. All aspects of the project should be accelerated through reverse scheduling and phased implementation, so as to promptly generate new, high-quality productive forces in the marine sector. The High-tech Zone will make every possible effort to ensure the availability of all necessary resources and support, enabling enterprises to focus wholeheartedly on their operations and boldly pursue innovation and development in a better-environmented and more robustly supported setting. The Zone stands ready to work hand-in-hand with businesses to strengthen, supplement, and extend the marine industry’s value chain; actively foster and expand emerging industries such as marine engineering equipment, maritime communications, and smart ocean technologies; accelerate the cultivation of new drivers for marine economic growth; and contribute the High-tech Zone’s strength to our city’s efforts to build a modern marine city.
