材料是人类一切生产力和生活水平提高的物质基础，发展新材料已成为国家"十五"规划中高技术研究和产业化的重要内容之一；我国有许多长期从事材料研究与开发的科研院所，具有较强的新材料研发能力并取得了大量科研成果，他们是我国发展新材料产业的一支生力军，在发展新材料产业方面的作用十分重要；作为我国新材料研发的大院大所之一，北京有色金属研总院近年来积极推进新材料产业化进程，获得了令人瞩目的发展，其主要体会是：抓观念转变，抓技术创新，抓机制转换，抓队伍建设，抓资本运作。

Materials form a solid basis for productivity and human welfare, and hence development of advanced materials has become one of the key tasks for hi-tech research and industrialization scheduled in the national 10 th Five-year-plan. Many of the institutions dedicated to the research and development of materials have over the time accquired strong capability in the R&D of advanced materials and accumulated abundant intellectual resources. These institutions are a major force which plays an important role in the development of national materials industry. As a main institution in this field, General Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals has actively and successfully promoted the industrialization of advanced materials. Its experiences can be epitomized into 5 aspects as conception renewal, technology innovation, mechanism reforming, talent management and capital operation.
