Give full play to unique advantages and implement Nansha Plan
In June this year, the State Council issued the Master Plan of Guangzhou Nansha on Deepening Comprehensive Cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao with Global Perspective (hereinafter referred to as the “Nansha Plan“), which is another major decision and plan made by the central government on the building of the Greater Bay Area from an overall and strategic perspective. According to the Nansha Plan, active efforts will be made to undertake the transfer and commercialization of innovation achievements in the fields such as electronic engineering, computer science, marine science, AI and smart cities in Hong Kong, and build a high ground for the transfer and commercialization of scientific and technological achievements in South China.
In order to promote the implementation of the Nansha Plan, the CIEF will leverage its unique advantages to help Nansha accelerate the building of an industry cooperation base for scientific and technological innovation, build a major strategic platform that keeps its foothold in the Bay Area and is oriented to Hong Kong and Macao with a global vision, and help Guangdong build a strategic fulcrum for a new development pattern.
The CIEF 2022 has set up the Nansha District Achievements Exhibition Area, an online platform for the CIEF, to introduce Nansha District policy on science and technology innovation, industrial policies as well as technological achievements, promote the gathering of national technological innovation resources in Nansha, and promote the establishment of a routine liaison mechanism for collaborative technological innovation with Hong Kong and Macao.
Exhibition area for popular science products and technologies set up for the first time
In a speech delivered at the National Science and Technology Innovation Conference, the Conference of the Academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Ninth National Congress of China Association for Science and Technology, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that “technological innovation and scientific popularization are important for pursuing innovative development. Equal importance should be attached to science popularization and technological innovation.”
Without a general improvement in scientific literacy, it will be difficult to cultivate innovation personnel of a higher caliber and rapidly commercialize scientific and technological achievements. The CIEF 2022 set up an exhibition area for popular science products and technologies for the first time in order to aid the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements.
At exhibition area, nearly 200 exhibitors showcase a wide range of popular science projects. A “close” contact with popular science resources and knowledge can stimulate the general public’s interest and enthusiasm in science and technology, and then help them develop scientific quality and embrace scientific thinking.
The CIEF 2022 is committed to the domestic commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, and also works to expose more people to science and technology, so as to lay the foundation for innovative development, and maintain the country’s innovation capacity.
