Introduction

　　International Institute for Innovative Design and Intelligent Manufacturing of Tianjin University in Zhejiang was jointly established by Tianjin University and the People's Government of Shaoxing City (located in Zhejiang Province, China). Located in Yangjinghu Technology Venture Park, it covers 5,000 square meters for offices and R&D. The institute integrates innovative design, intelligent and green manufacturing, quality engineering, talent cultivation, technology commercialization and entrepreneurship.

　　Operating with an open management model, the institute has developed over 20 major research platforms and enterprise joint R&D centers, including academician workstations, provincial postdoctoral workstations, municipal new R&D institutions, key laboratories, a national-level intelligent manufacturing training base, and Digital Health Joint Innovation Center of Shaoxing. In 2023, it was approved as a National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) affiliated institution, enabling independent applications for NSFC projects and enhancing its research capabilities.

　　Aligned with Shaoxing's industrial needs, the institute emphasizes talent development and research transformation. It has introduced 21 innovation and entrepreneurship teams, resulting in over 20 industrial projects and the incubation of 23 technology-based companies in areas like high-end equipment, innovative design, low-carbon manufacturing, biomedicine, and electronics. In collaboration with Tianjin University, the institute established the Tianjin University Science and Technology Achievement Transformation Shaoxing Workstation and the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society Yuecheng Service Station, attracting expert resources to support Shaoxing's industrial development. Since its establishment, the institute has led or participated in 12 key projects, including those by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, NSFC, and Zhejiang Province, signed 34 industry-university research projects, and won 5 national and provincial awards.
