In the journey of chemical technology achievements from the laboratory to industrialization, the pilot scale up stage is the "flame mountain" that spans across it. In Shandong, the largest province in the chemical industry, there are also pain points in the pilot stage, such as low commercialization success rate, high investment threshold, and long conversion cycle.

　　Nowadays, Shandong is trying to cross this mountain—the green chemical and new material pilot platform, led by Shandong Jingbo Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jingbo Petrochemical) and jointly built by 11 universities and enterprises, has recently been successfully selected as one of the first national manufacturing pilot platforms, becoming the first pilot platform in Shandong Province to be recognized. It has also pioneered the construction of a national pilot platform led by private industry chain leaders in the petrochemical industry.

　　The pilot conversion has never been a single technical issue, but a systematic engineering involving process, engineering, safety, and market, "said the platform operation manager. From the beginning of planning, the platform has established a unique positioning: not an exclusive R&D base for enterprises, but a public innovation infrastructure for the entire industry.
