Chen Xiaohong, CAE Academician, Director of Xiangjiang Laboratory, and Secretary of CPC HUTB Committee, attaches great importance to it. She emphasized that high-level innovation platforms such as Xiangjiang Laboratory, led by the university, should lead high-quality innovation and entrepreneurship talent cultivation. She encouraged all students to contribute their youth and energy to help achieve the beautiful blueprint of "Three Highlands, Four New Missions" in our province.
