The university side introduced the distinctive educational features of the School of Foreign Languages.

It boasts abundant experience in university-enterprise cooperation and a sound talent training system. The school fully recognizes GRAEFF’s global layout and overall strength, and expresses a strong desire to carry out regular and in-depth cooperation.

Combined with GRAEFF’s overall global strategic planning and current business development, Dr. Wu Hao elaborated on the company’s R&D layout, domestic and overseas market expansion plans as well as talent demands for core positions. He pointed out that with the continuous expansion of the company’s overseas business, interdisciplinary technical and operational talents equipped with foreign language proficiency, cross-border business capabilities and an international vision have become crucial pillars for the enterprise’s transformation, upgrading and global expansion.

In response to the practical development needs of the company, Dr. Wu Hao clarified the implementation directions of university-enterprise cooperation. Consensus was reached with the university regarding improving the foreign language and professional competence of in-service staff, providing foreign-related supporting services for overseas projects, arranging internships and job placements for students, and carrying out joint technological R&D through industry-university-research collaboration.

This visit marks a key step for GRAEFF to consolidate its local layout, deepen industry-education integration and build a steady talent reserve.
