Recent Progress of Graphene Industrialization in China

In the past 12 months, China has made a significant progress toward graphene industrialization that can be shown in the following two aspects:
Infrastructure:
(1)
In May 23 of 2014, Changzhou city government launched a special project up to 30M to support carbon materials industrialization. Meanwhile, the government in collaboration with Ingenious Ene-Carbon Group has set up a $300M Venture Capital fund.
(2)
In September 3 of 2014, China Graphene Investment Alliance was established.
(3)
In September 4 of 2014, "The Strategic New Materials Project" was launched in Fengtai, Beijing. This project is based on the collaboration with Brunel University.
(4)
In October 18 of 2014, Qingdao International Graphene Innovation Centre was opened.
(5)
In October 23 of 2014, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, National Development and Reform Commission, and Ministry of Finance have co-announced the new project: "Upgrading Project on Key Materials", in which it includes graphene.
(6)
China Innovation Alliance of the Graphene Industry - CGIA organized a very successful conference - International Graphene Innovation Conference - GRAPCHINA 2014. It attracted more than 1200 participants from the world.

In December 26 of 2014, Jining Graphene Industry Park was launched in Jining,Shandong province.
I am like many Long-termers who don't comment as a general rule on their companies to compound them as long as possible while they are oversold by the irrational market.
At the beginning of last year I realized how big SL Vein Graphite was going to become and was happy to share my research here. This pdf was sent to me by a friend and I think it is very insightful to the discussion about MRF becoming a Graphene Producer.
This is part one and I will next post part two talking about 2015.
