Birmingham Innovation Festival: Sanyou London on Industrial R&D Reshaping Tomorrow for Net-Zero
Event: Birmingham Innovation Festival
Dates: 20–22 May 2024
Venue: Birmingham City University
Speaker: Professor Saim Memon, CEO, Sanyou London
What was the talk about?
The stage talk, “Reshaping Tomorrow: The Critical Role of Industrial R&D in Renewable Energy Engineering for Future Manufacturing, Product Development and Employability in the UK,” set out a practical pathway from idea → R&D → industrial manufacturing → product in market. It offered a clear, evidence-led example of how an academic journey can translate into an industrial one, with Sanyou London now operating as a recognised global organisation for industrial R&D and product distribution in vacuum-insulation energy technologies.
Why does it matter?
Because the UK needs scalable, high-impact innovation that reduces energy loss, supports domestic manufacturing, and builds skills. The talk demonstrated that transition is achievable through hard work, disciplined R&D, and collaboration—notably with Jiangsu Sanyou Dior Energy-Saving New Materials Co., Ltd.—to move inventions from lab benches to building sites and supply chains.
What solutions were showcased?
Sanyou London presented a focused portfolio designed for real-world performance and ease of deployment:
- Vacuum Insulated Wallpaper (VIW) – ultra-thin internal wall insulation for rapid retrofit without major disruption.
- Decorative Integrated Vacuum Insulation Panel (DVIP) – robust external wall insulation/external cladding that blends durability with thermal efficiency.
- Flexible VIP designs – adaptable formats for new-build and refurbishment, enabling insulation in tight or irregular spaces.
- Vacuum Insulated Bag-or-Box (VIBB) – portable, high-performance thermal protection for medical, pharmaceutical, and temperature-sensitive logistics and storage.
What is the takeaway for the UK?
Industrial R&D can accelerate domestic manufacturing, shorten time-to-market, and strengthen employability. For builders, architects, developers, local authorities, and supply-chain partners, these vacuum-insulation formats enable slim, effective, and cost-sensible energy savings across housing and public buildings, while supporting net-zero targets.
Work with Sanyou London
- Spec sheets, samples, and pilot projects: VIW, DVIP, flexible VIPs, and VIBB.
- Partnerships: universities, contractors, distributors, and developers seeking proven thermal solutions for retrofit and new-build.
