In a ground-breaking
ceremony by OPPO in the China's Chang’an Town, Dongguan, Guangdong Province, a new research and development center will rise, and it will accelerate OPPO's push
to boost its Research and Development capabilities. The new building will supplement its already existing R&D centers, and will form a strong research engine that will power OPPO’s continued innovation for the emerging era of intelligent
connectivity.
OPPO’s new Chang’an R&D center,
as one of Dongguan’s major initiatives to drive the development of the
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, is expected to house 5,000 R&D
personnel upon completion.
OPPO Vice President, Eric Zhu
shared that "We are very pleased to
officially break ground on OPPO’s new Chang’an R&D center. It will play a
strategic role in OPPO’s R&D endeavors, further enhancing the core
technological capabilities of the company and accelerating the implementation
of our R&D strategy and objectives.”
“The project will be built to the
highest industrial standards and we will spare no effort in making the new
R&D center a masterpiece initiative in the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Science and
Technology Innovation Corridor, helping to bolster the development of the
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,” Zhu added.
OPPO will spend RMB 10 Billion (approx. Php75 Billion) on R&D this
year. As a global R&D engine for the company, OPPO’s new Chang’an R&D
center will be responsible for the R&D, design and testing of a vast range
of smart devices, including smartphones and IoT products. The R&D will
support OPPO’s mission of providing cutting-edge smart devices and services for
the era of intelligent connectivity.
OPPO’s new Chang’an R&D center, designed by top global architecture
firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and in partnership with dozens of
professional consultants, will cover an area of approximately 123.5 mu (roughly
82,000 square meters) and will consist of 10 all-glass towers, including
offices, a talent development center, an R&D center, a mobile internet
research center, and a testing center. Standing at 249.5 meters tall, the
