It is also oriented toward western China and the globe to serve the country's development as the base and center of scientific research, technical service and talent education, which will be an important part of the country's quality growth campaign.

In the future, the institute sets out to accommodate the national strategy, industrial growth and technological progress etc, concentrate on advantageous industries in western China, e.g., high-end equipment, energy and power, aviation and aerospace, and chemical equipment etc, engage basic quality areas in measurement, standardization, certification, inspection and testing, and conduct quality science and technology studies, quality diagnosis and counseling and social service, and professional education and training etc.

The institute will also contribute to the regional development and national strategy by building the Western China Science and Technology Innovation Harbor and the Silk Road Quality Academic Belt, thanks to the University Alliance of the New Silk Road (UANSR) initiated by XJTU in May 2015, to promote academic exchanges in this regard.
