The Management Office on the Semi-conductor Lighting Project of the National “863” Program organized a meeting on the launch of the Semi-conductor Lighting R&D Fund. The fund was established with an aim to helping bridge the gap between our enterprises and overseas ones in terms of technology commercialization. The top priority is to foster a community of interests through joint input, resolve key technological issues in the development of semi-conductor lighting industry, and upgrade product grade, so as to jointly face international competition.

The establishment of the fund represents a positive step towards cooperation between enterprises with strong strength and sharing risks and rewards in China’s semi-conductor lighting industry, which is a gratifying exploration of how the emerging S&T industries jointly participate in the international competition.
