Recently, the Belt and Road International Industry-Education Integration Center jointly built by FOTIMA GROUP and Sichuan Modern Vocational College received a key delegation for exchange and discussion. Zhang Lin, Director of the Legal Center, Sun Jiuhua, Deputy Director, and Li Hang, Consultant from Zhiheng Law Firm (Chengdu Branch), Guangdong, paid a special field visit to inspect the Group’s integrated Three-in-One Industry-Education Platform. They held in-depth forums with relevant principals of the college and FOTIMA GROUP to exchange views on topics including international talent cultivation for Central Asia, compliance support for enterprises’ cross-border global expansion, and multilateral industry-education collaboration. Both sides jointly explored an innovative integrated development model featuring "Industry + Education + Legal Services".
I. On-Site Tour of the Three-in-One Integrated Industry-Education Platform
The delegation first conducted an on-site inspection of the Belt and Road International Industry-Education Integration Center co-built by FOTIMA GROUP and Sichuan Modern Vocational College. Developed based on FOTIMA GROUP’s proprietary Belt and Road industry-education integration framework, the center integrates comprehensive functions covering technological R&D, international schooling and cross-border trade. Targeting markets along the Belt and Road, especially Central Asia, it undertakes core missions such as training international skilled personnel, facilitating Sino-foreign school-enterprise cooperation, and providing supporting services for cross-border industries. It also serves as a core hub based in Southwest China that connects vocational education resources between China and Kazakhstan.
II. Forum & In-Depth Discussion: Forging a Collaborative Chain Linking Industry, Academia and Legal Services
During the forum, the legal team from Zhiheng Chengdu presented its full-spectrum service capabilities in foreign-related legal affairs, cross-border compliance for outbound enterprises, and resolution of transnational commercial disputes. The team spoke highly of both the industrial and talent-training value of the international industry-education platform initiated by FOTIMA.
The law firm proposed introducing real-world foreign-related legal cases and practical cross-border compliance courses into campus teaching, and jointly building practical training bases alongside FOTIMA and the college. Stable long-term cooperation mechanisms will be established across four core sectors: incubation of overseas projects, full-cycle legal services for enterprises expanding into Central Asia, international overseas education programmes, and foreign-related practical training bases.
Gao Rong, Dean of the Public Legal Service Industry College at Sichuan Modern Vocational College, gave the delegation a detailed introduction to FOTIMA GROUP’s comprehensive strengths. Rooted in domestic industrial manufacturing for 70 years, the Group focuses on R&D and production of high-precision sensors, global supply chain management, and deep-well energy exploration. Having operated in Central Asia for more than two decades, it is deeply engaged in economic and trade development along the Belt and Road routes.
Its exclusive International Industry-Education Integration Center based in Chengdu stands as the first standardized cooperation platform of its kind in Southwest China. On one hand, it enables enrolled students to upgrade professional skills while obtaining overseas academic qualifications simultaneously, setting a benchmark for Sino-Kazakh vocational education collaboration. On the other hand, it delivers full-cycle industrial support for Chinese enterprises expanding their businesses into Central Asia.
Ma Yazhao, Vice Dean of the International Exchange College, elaborated on the college’s distinctive talent cultivation system. Leveraging FOTIMA’s industrial resources, the college adopts project-based practical teaching. Students polish hands-on capabilities through authentic cross-border supply chain operations and overseas training projects, continuously supplying versatile, market-adapted professionals for Central Asian foreign trade, cross-border logistics and intelligent manufacturing sectors.
Moving forward, FOTIMA GROUP will further consolidate its presence in Central Asia and deepen its industry-education layout across Southwest China. Taking industry as the foundation, education as the driver, and rule of law as the guarantee, the Group will coordinate resources from enterprises and academic institutions to refine the training system for internationalized talents and upgrade supporting services for outbound businesses. It will help more domestic enterprises seize Belt and Road opportunities to develop Central Asian markets. Through the innovative synergy of industry-education integration and legal-industrial coordination, FOTIMA will fuel high-quality growth of regional foreign-related economies and write a new chapter of win-win industrial development for all partners.
