Huabao Flavours & Fragrances Co., Ltd. (Huabao) takes the creation of an international intelligent scientific innovation platform as the top priority of its strategy. Since the founding of the Scientific and Technological Innovation Center in July 2021, the development of international scientific research system in Huabao has achieved initial success. While cross-region and interdisciplinary scientific and technological project management turns into an important step in the development of platforming and coordinated R&D system.

After 3-month refinement and several rounds of expert reviews, the first batch of scientific and technological projects in 2022 were announced officially in this May, including solubilizing agent of nutrient substance, mobile gas and smoke detector, multicomponent integrated analysis and detection, application of microcapsule in market segments, and natural extraction process of flavor materials. Those projects are led by Technology Centers and Laboratories in Shanghai, Guangdong and Yunnan, and facilitated by the intensive participation from R&D centers in Hong Kong, Singapore and Holzminden (Germany). Organizational barriers and geographic restrictions have been destroyed with the effective contributions from technical experts from various regions and areas, vitalizing the R&D talents in the Company and laying foundation for building an international intelligent scientific innovation platform in the future.

At the same time, presentation of the second batch of scientific and technological projects, which were planned based on the R&D strategy requiring “a generation of products under research, a generation under development and a generation available for sales”, and designed to support the top-level design of the Company’s scientific and technological innovation, will be held in this month; and the third batch of projects that focus on safe production, energy conservation and emission reduction, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, are under application.
