Optics Vally—the best namecard of china

　Jing-Chu News Network(Hubei Daily)：In the view of journalists from other provinces, Optic Vally is the most attractive namecard of Hubei. Optics Vally, born in Hubei, though took a good use of reformation and opening-up policy, rely on smart Hubei people and their unyielding enterpreneurship.

　　the fate between Optics Vally and Wuhan

　　Optical fiber, a wire thinner than hair, is to be drawn from pure quarz by special skills.Fiber performs a very important function that could send huge information. Nowadays, Hubei people master the technology which could send hunreds T information. Four years ago, FiberHome independent produced optical transmission systerm with the largest capacity and fastest speed in the world, that is, one second could transmission 1000 DVDs. Even today, there is not more than 5 countries mastered this technology.

　　Hubei is the start point of the reasearch of the fiber communication. In1974, Wuhan Institute of Posts and Telecommunications was approved by Ministry of Post to set up optical fiber work studio, which marked that the chinese reasearchers had aready entered into the fiber field. China’s first fiber was successfully produced by Institute of Posts and Telecommunications in 1980.

　　In the late 1980s, two optical fiber enterprises appeared, one of them nmed by YOFC,settled in East Lake.

　　There are many universities and research institutes within 50 qurare kilometers aroud East Lake, such as Wuhan University and HUST, 56 national or provincial research institutions, 65 national key disciplines, 54 Two Academies, professionals more than 20 millions. All of these making it become the third largest intellectual-intensive area.

　　YOFC in East Lake just like duke to water. From 1995 to 2005, YOFC won more than 80 patents, and its achievements turned over more than 100 times. A great many corporations who specilized in electronic device,fiber manufacturing and fiber communicating equipment are aborbed in. State Planning Commission approved to set up Photoelectron Industrial Base named by China Optics Vally in East Lake,

　　Independent innovation is the spirit of Optics Vally

　　Since State Planning Committee approve the plan, Optics Vally has become the national team of optolectronic industry.

　　How a local enterprise can lead our nation, go to the world ? There is only one answer, that is , independent innovation. Fortunately we have plenty of technologic talents! Wuhan Huazhong Numerical Control co.,Ltd, one of the core enterprises in Optics Vally, despite two attempts, has been unable to get the approvol of importing technologies of high-performance numerical control system that has been sold to other countries by toshiba corporation as early as 1980s. No matter how much money you pay, they won’t sell it to you. That hurt the heart of Wuhan people.

 　　Finally, Huazhong Numerical Control made great effort to develop the world’s advanced high-performance numerical control system independently. In February 2007, China’s first milling plane was made out by using this technology.

 　　Corpations always regard the technology research and development as the life. YOFC independently has reached the international advanced level, breaking the foreign technology blocking. Products developed by Wuhan Hi Trust and ChuTian Laser have been used in building Chang’e 1.Three network technology standards developed by fiberhome, been approved by ITU as international standard, broke the western monopoly in this field.

　　Today , Independent innovation is the source of the motivation of the development of Optics Vally. Rencently , the number of patents increase with average monthly rate of 40%, more than 4000 last year.

　　Now, Optics Vally has built the largest domestic fiber optic cable and photoelectric device production base, the biggest optical communication technology r&d base and the biggest laser industrial base. The scale of optical fiber production take the occupies of the second in the world , with 50% market share at home, and 12% market share in the world.

　　Optical fiber communication has become one of the Hi-tech fields with smallest distance between our country and the developed countries. Hubei people get the words for Chinese enterprises.

　　Optics Vally becmes the paradise for entrepreneurs

　　Since 1990s, many university teachers start to set up the business in East Lake, by converting their achievements into enterprises which set up industries. Corpations such as FiberHome, HuaGongTech, and ChuTian Laser have sme college or research institution bakgrouds.

　　Many a entrepreneur who came to Optics Vally by bike, several years later, drives a car. They start up their business just only by themselves, while lead a team consist of dozens or hunreds of staffs.

　　Optics Vally visibility is rapidly upgrading both at home and abroad, forming a stronger conglomeration effect. In 2008, more than 10 thousand enterprises have registered , including 2100 high-tech enterprises, got revenue above150 billion yuan.

　　Optics Vally also create conditions for pushing listing of small and medium enterprises. There are 21 listed companies until now.

　　GEM management will be implemented next month, then, Optics Vally will introduce JiangToon Animation and Huazhong Numerical Control 8 enterprises as the first team towards GEM, and other 42 enterprises are taking their listing procedures.

　　As planed, by the year of 2010, Optics Vally will add 30 listed enterprises.
