As of mid-September, more than 100 universities have confirmed their participation. The big gathering of enterprises and universities will undoubtedly promote the integrated development of industry, academia and research.

At present, a great many well-known universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan University, Nanjing University, Tongji University, Tianjin University, Nankai University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China University of Geosciences, Southern University of Science and Technology, Zhengzhou University, Henan University, Shenzhen University, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong, and the National University of Singapore have registered to attend CHTF 2024. China High-Tech Fair has always been committed to bringing the innovative achievements of universities from their laboratories to the market, accurately matching the needs of enterprises, promoting the development of new quality productivity, and achieving both economic and social benefits.

Data shows that in recent years, the transaction amount of science and technology achievements from universities and research institutes has generally shown an upward trend. By the end of 2023, the total contract amount for transferring, licensing, valuation investment, technology development, consulting, and other services has reached CNY 205.44 billion.

 

Experts pointed out that well-organized university-enterprise cooperation can help build a cross-domain team covering the full industry chain to solve the major problems by tackling the core technologies, common technologies and "bottleneck" problems. This will effectively promote industrial upgrading and enhance the core competency of enterprises in the international arena.

A series of investment and financing matchmaking conferences, strategic cooperation signing ceremonies, project matching meetings, international buyer-supplier matching meetings, international exhibitors' business investigating tour and other concurrent activities will be held to promote the effective exchange and cooperation of diverse innovations. Through nearly one hundred concurrent events, especially the "Global Buyer-supplier Matchmaking Conference" to be unveiled this year, CHTF 2024 will leverage the market to promote the accelerated aggregation of the needs of enterprise and the scientific discoveries of universities, so that the new technologies can be brought to market as quickly as possible.

 

Technology keeps evolving only if it is applied to specific industries. CHTF promotes the deep connection and exchange between scientific research institutions represented by colleges and universities and industrial sector, making the industries become smarter, more environment-friendly and integrative, aiming at facilitating the development of new quality productivity.
