The Zhejiang Provincial Geological Exploration Bureau recently determined... 2016 Key priorities and major initiatives for annual economic development.

First, we will steadily advance the reform of geological exploration units. We will conduct in-depth research into the key and difficult issues surrounding the reform of these units, and explore the establishment of new systems and mechanisms that will strengthen public-interest geological work, enhance the sustainable economic development of geological exploration enterprises, and boost the enthusiasm of employees. We will further optimize the overall reform plan by defining the direction of reform, clarifying development goals, adjusting industrial layouts, optimizing workforce structures, and streamlining operational mechanisms. We will strive to overcome both current and long-term challenges that hinder the reform and development of geological exploration units, and promote their reform through stable and sustained development.

Second, we will adjust the structure and refine mineral geology. We will attempt to consolidate global, independently held mining rights into... 1 ~ 2 A group of companies, linked by shares, has formed independent corporate legal entities. We are adjusting our mineral exploration strategies, with a particular focus on intensifying exploration efforts for mineral resources that have strong market demand and valid mining licenses, while placing greater emphasis on minerals closely related to high-tech and advanced industries. “ Three rare ” Research and exploration of mineral resources; engagement in deep-sea mineral exploration, intensifying geothermal exploration efforts, and advancing the development and research of new energy sources and technologies such as shallow geothermal energy, deep dry hot rock, and non-metallic applications; integrating existing mining rights and exploring diversified mechanisms for mineral exploration investment.

Third, we must seize development opportunities and strengthen marine geology. We should closely align with the “Implementation Plan for Comprehensive Geological Survey of Key Areas in Zhejiang’s Coastal Zone” ( 2016 ~ 2020 year) and the “Zhejiang Coastal Zone Geological Environmental Protection Plan,” further aligning with the Qingdao Institute of Marine Geology on national projects such as coastal zone geological surveys, and strengthening the approval of provincial-level projects. We will vigorously develop market-oriented projects including island restoration, marine geological heritage conservation, and the survey, evaluation, and development/utilization of marine resources. We will also make every effort to advance the construction of physical infrastructure at the Zhoushan base, including docks and vessels, and initiate... “ Key Laboratory for Marine Geological Disaster Prevention and Environmental Protection ” Project initiation work; deepening cooperation with relevant marine-related organizations and actively exploring local projects.

Fourth, leverage our professional strengths to expand environmental geology. Seizing the opportunity presented by the nation’s drive to build an ecological civilization, we will proactively offer services in areas such as ecological restoration, land quality surveys, underground space development, geological hazard prevention and control, application for and construction of geological parks, and the development of distinctive small towns. We will establish a provincial geological hazard prevention and control center, strengthen public-interest geological work in geological hazard prevention and control, and place particular emphasis on: G20 Disaster prevention and mitigation efforts during the summit; deepening strategic cooperation between provincial and ministerial levels, with a focus on follow-up actions. 2016 ~ 2018 The annual deployment of central public-interest geological survey projects; continuously extending and expanding the geological industry chain, and providing geological conditions, geological resources, and geological environmental data for the new round of urban development planning.

Fifth, we must strengthen our capabilities to promote the sustainable development of extended industries. We will optimize the industrial structure, rationally regulate the qualification levels and scale of enterprises, and strike a balance between general contracting and specialized subcontracting, thereby fostering an enterprise landscape characterized by complementary strengths. We will accelerate our expansion into the infrastructure sector, deepen strategic partnerships with major corporations and large conglomerates, and promptly enter government priority investment areas such as rail transit, underground space development, and water conservancy and urban construction. We will also explore ways to... PPP Adopt a model to undertake government-funded public construction projects, thereby achieving an upgrade and transformation of our operational approach; innovate enterprise management mechanisms and refine incentive and constraint systems; focus on cultivating core competitiveness and continue implementing... “ Go out. ” Strategy to drive cross-sector development.

Sixth, optimize the talent structure and strengthen scientific and technological work. Fully leverage the strengths and advantages of innovation platforms such as the Zhejiang Research Institute, Academician Workstations, Postdoctoral Fellowships, and Master Studios, to attract high-level talents and discipline leaders and build innovative teams. Improve the two-tier talent training mechanism at the bureau and team levels, and enhance the training and development of existing personnel, especially those in marine geology and related technical fields. Formulate a bureau... “1226” Specific measures and approaches for cultivating science and technology talent, exploring the establishment of targeted and differentiated reward and punishment incentive mechanisms, and developing professional technical personnel. “ Dual-channel ” The promotion mechanism inspires tech talent to enthusiastically pursue their work and achieve success. □ (Lu Wenbin) Zhang Darong)
