University-industry cooperation: The deep integration of Shenzhen Polytechnic University and Shenzhen CloudTranslation Technology
Abstract
This paper explores the connotation and model of university-industry cooperation (UIC) by investigating the collaboration between Shenzhen CloudTranslation Technology Co., Ltd. (CloudTranslation) and Shenzhen Polytechnic University (SZPU) within value co-creation theory. The aim is to develop composite talents in “language + technology + service” mode. In terms of resource investment, the focus is on creating a mechanism for resource-sharing by innovating systems and platforms for industry-education integration, thus promoting a seamless connection between the education chain, talent chain, industry chain, and innovation chain. Regarding innovation, the collaboration addresses industry needs by incorporating the entire process of teaching reform and innovation, with cutting-edge technology deeply embedded to guide the new development of international language talents. The partnership between SZPU and CloudTranslation exemplifies a deep integration of AI technology in the language services industry and educational practice, providing a valuable reference for cultivating high-caliber, forward-thinking talents in higher education who meet the current trends in international language services.
