From March 12 to 13, 2026, Guangdong UBridge New Material Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "UBridge New Material") invited a delegation of faculty and students from the College of Materials Science and Engineering at Guilin University of Technology to conduct a two-day visit, exchange, and talent activities at UBridge New Materials. Both parties engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as talent cultivation, internships, employment, and joint project development, aiming to explore new pathways for school-enterprise collaborative education and to reserve high-quality professionals for key projects of UBridge New Material. The company's Vice President Li Dong and Chief Engineer Wang Xiangding, among others, accompanied the delegation during the activities.

At noon on March 12, led by Liang Jun, the Party Secretary of the college, the delegation arrived in Maoming. To enable the visiting faculty and students to gain a better understanding of the development environment of the city where UBridge New Material is located, the company's reception team arranged visits to the Maoming Olympic Sports Center and the China’s First Beach Resort to experience firsthand the modern atmosphere of Maoming as a host city for the provincial games and its unique charm as a coastal city.
The next day, the delegation arrived at the new material industrial project "South China Titanium Valley," a key project developed by UBridge New Material, for an in-depth visit and exchange. Inside the exhibition hall, our guide provided a detailed introduction to the company's technological accumulation, industrial chain layout, and future development plans in the fields of titanium and zirconium new materials. Subsequently, the faculty and students boarded sightseeing vehicles to delve into the construction site of Phase I of the project for a field visit to its progress. The project is set to officially enter its trial production phase by the end of June 2026. The grand scale of construction and the orderly pace of work have left a profound impression on the visiting faculty and students.
