Recently, the Hubei Provincial Development and Reform Commission announced the evaluation results for the 2025 Provincial Enterprise Technology Centers. Leveraging its comprehensive innovation strengths, Defon's Technology Center successfully achieved an "Excellent" rating, making it one of only two enterprises in the Huangshi region to receive this honor.
Looking Back: Gaining Recognition as a Provincial Innovation Platform
As early as 2023, Defon benchmarked against provincial certification standards and formally initiated the application process for the Hubei Provincial Enterprise Technology Center. Facing the four key indicators for provincial recognition — R&D investment, talent teams, hardware facilities, and innovation management — we systematically benchmarked and made solid improvements in every area.
In R&D investment, the company continuously increased R&D funding to provide ample financial resources for technological breakthroughs;
In talent, we built a professional R&D team through internal development and external recruitment, putting the right experts in charge of innovation;
In hardware, we acquired advanced R&D and testing equipment, and simultaneously established standardized laboratories and professional test sites, providing world-class hardware support for high-quality R&D;
In management, we refined systems and streamlined processes to enable efficient innovation implementation.
With this "solid" investment and preparation,
Defon successfully passed multi-department audits and expert reviews,
and was officially recognized and certified in January 2024,
successfully joining the ranks of provincial innovation platforms.
Dynamic Evaluation, Earning "Excellent" Once Again
The Hubei Provincial Enterprise Technology Center operates under a dynamic, merit‑based management system, with comprehensive evaluations every two years using strict criteria and full‑coverage assessment dimensions — making the "Excellent" rating the most direct and authoritative recognition of an enterprise's innovation capabilities.
Since receiving the certification in 2024, Defon has never stopped its innovation momentum:
01Advancing R&D and Collaboration Together
The company has partnered with the Hubei Special Equipment Inspection Institute on energy‑efficiency testing, focusing on industrial energy conservation and environmental protection to support the "dual carbon" strategy. At the same time, we have jointly established the Joint Technology Research Center for High‑Efficiency Heat Exchange Equipment with Huazhong University of Science and Technology, translating academic research strengths into corporate innovation momentum, and comprehensively enhancing technological R&D and product competitiveness.
02Deepening Expertise in Core Areas
Sticking to our core competencies, we actively engage in major engineering projects, turning technological advantages into real industrial strengths and market competitiveness.
Innovation Never Ends, Progress Never Stops
