A technology feast is coming. The second "Belt and Road" Science and Technology Exchange Conference will be held in Chengdu from June 10 to 12.
This conference is themed on "Building the Road of Innovation, Promoting Cooperation and Development, and Working to Build a 'Belt and Road' Science and Technology Innovation Community", providing strong scientific and technological support for high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road". Compared with the first exchange conference, what are the highlights of this conference? How can we promote common development in the face of scientific and technological cooperation?
Focus on five major sectors to set up 38 activities, highlighting pragmatism and efficiency
In November 2023, the first "Belt and Road" Science and Technology Exchange Conference was held in Chongqing. Over the past year, the "circle of friends" of scientific and technological innovation cooperation in Chengdu and Chongqing has been continuously expanded, and global scientific and technological innovation resources have continued to gather, contributing to the high-quality development of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road".
Based on the achievements of the first exchange conference, this conference will promote scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation on the "Belt and Road" through institutionalization, so as to achieve new achievements of mutual benefit and win-win results.
It is understood that the conference has set up five major sections, important activities, theme activities, special activities, roundtables, and technology docking, focusing on issues such as deepening the exchange and cooperation of scientific and technological innovation of the "Belt and Road" and improving the global science and technology governance system.
Highing the pragmatism and efficiency of event arrangements is a highlight of this conference. Through sorting out, the reporter found that some of these activities focus on key areas, strengthen scientific and technological support, promote the deep integration of innovation chains and industrial chains, and promote industrial transformation and upgrading. For example, the conference will hold scientific and technological exchange activities in multiple fields such as transportation, traditional Chinese medicine, disaster prevention and mitigation, and strive to solve the difficulties in industry development.
Some will explore cutting-edge technologies and lead us into a new era of change. Nowadays, artificial intelligence technology has developed rapidly, giving birth to many new business forms and models. The conference has set up activities such as the artificial intelligence empowers sustainable development forum around artificial intelligence, which will help empower artificial intelligence to thousands of industries.
Some will rely on scientific and technological cooperation to meet global challenges. For example, in the field of eliminating poverty, the conference held related activities around scientific and technological poverty reduction, hoping to deepen collaborative innovation, highlight digital empowerment, strengthen talent leadership, explore new paths and new models for scientific and technological innovation to help targeted poverty reduction, promote the accelerated transformation of advanced applicable technologies into real productivity supporting international poverty reduction, and promote the joint construction of "innovation", "poverty reduction" and "growth path".
In addition, in order to make scientific and technological achievements more and better benefit people's livelihood, during the meeting, an event such as "Technology Creates a Better Life" will be held, with the purpose of making more scientific and technological innovations into our visible and tangible daily life.
Start cooperation in multiple fields to build a community of scientific and technological innovation
The network test platform developed by the China-Korea Industrial Internet of Things Joint Laboratory has been widely used in more than 40 Chinese and foreign enterprises; the "Hongyang" series of varieties cultivated by the China-New Zealand Kiwi Fruit Joint Laboratory has been promoted and planted in 11 countries for more than 3,500 hectares... At the press conference, scientific and technological achievements reflect the tangible benefits brought by the "Belt and Road" scientific and technological cooperation.
A story similar to "network testing platform" and "kiwi fruit" is still being staged. Sichuan Province and Chongqing will jointly initiate the "Double Thousand" plan for scientific and technological cooperation in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and through the "Thousand Cooperation Project" plan and the "Thousands of Young Scientists Exchange" plan, we will focus on deepening cooperation with the co-construction countries in joint research, technology transfer, scientific and technological and cultural exchanges, and promote scientific and technological cooperation with the co-construction countries to deepen and implement. Sichuan focuses on artificial intelligence, medical and health, low-altitude economy, high-end energy equipment and other fields, and has released a list of "two-way list and leader" projects for companies looking for technology and results to find markets to promote the smooth flow of projects on a larger scale.
In addition, during the conference, a series of bilateral intergovernmental scientific and technological cooperation documents will be signed, the "Belt and Road" special cooperation plan for scientific and technological innovation in many important fields will be launched, a new international large-scale scientific plan led by Chinese scientists will be launched, and the construction of an international technology transfer center for the "Belt and Road" and a new batch of joint research platforms will be launched... These cooperation will inject more technological innovation impetus into the construction of the innovative Silk Road.
