Focusing on strategic emerging industries such as new energy and materials, artificial intelligence, marine economy, and biological medicine, these events aim to facilitate effective connections between projects and talent resources across government bodies, enterprises, and universities. Moreover, the "Pooling Overseas Chinese Wisdom" series of activities will involve technological elites from around the world to participate in competitive events, so as to discover and nurture international and highly skilled technical talents.
