Chinese electric vehicle company Nio signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) on April 30 to cooperate in technology research and talent training.
As part of the agreement, the two will establish the USTC-Nio Smart Electric Vehicle Joint Laboratory to conduct joint research on cutting-edge scientific issues, major scientific and technological issues and strategic new technologies, according to a statement by Nio.
The two will also use the lab to jointly apply for and undertake major national and local research projects to promote innovation in high-end technologies.
USTC's research strength in China is almost comparable to that of Tsinghua University and Peking University. The university is located in Hefei, Anhui Province, which is also home to Nio China's headquarters and the JAC Nio facility.
Under the agreement, Nio will provide resources and a platform to serve as an educational internship base for USTC, which in turn will support the establishment of a postdoctoral workstation at the joint lab.
Nio says it hopes to train and deliver globally-oriented high-end talents for the smart electric vehicle industry and is committed to keeping more outstanding young talents in Hefei.
