The attendees were greatly encouraged and expressed their willingness to promote international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation with more open thinking and measures, and to build an open innovation ecosystem with global competitiveness.

In the journey of technological innovation, there is no shirking of responsibility

Technological innovation is an important force for humanity to jointly address risks and challenges, promote peace and development.

As an important strategic technological force, high-level research universities are dutiful and have a glorious mission in the journey of technological innovation. Tongji University will regard organized scientific research as an important form of promoting technological innovation, build a full innovation chain layout system from original innovation to industrialization, and actively integrate into the international innovation environment, contributing Tongji's strength to promoting international scientific and technological cooperation and enhancing the common well-being of humanity.

Jiang Ge, Vice President of Shanghai University of Science and Technology, stated that in order to build an open innovation ecosystem with global competitiveness in China, it is necessary to improve the talent pool and cultivate a group of innovative and entrepreneurial talents. Since its establishment 10 years ago, Shanghai University of Science and Technology has always deeply integrated into the construction of scientific and technological innovation, and has driven high-quality development with high-level discipline construction. The school will adhere to the basic educational system of integrating science and education, continuously improve the innovation and entrepreneurship education system, help cultivate future scientific leaders, technology inventors, and enterprise founders, and contribute to the new round of scientific and technological innovation in China.

Xu Donglian, a young researcher at the Li Zhengdao Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University who is engaged in neutrino astronomy research, gave a report at the Pujiang Innovation Forum plenary session. She said, "We will aim at the forefront of science and technology, and strive to launch the International Large Science Program based on the neutrino telescope, which is currently under development. We will cooperate with international peers for innovation, promote more high-quality international scientific and technological achievements, and write scientific research achievements on the land of our motherland."

Promoting International Science and Technology Exchange and Cooperation

At the same time, through international platforms such as the Pujiang Innovation Forum, we should make friends with a group of friendly technology partners towards China, establish an increasingly large circle of friends abroad, and continue to promote international technology cooperation, including commercial cooperation.

Ren Jia, General Manager of Shanghai New Micro Innovation Source Incubator, attended the inaugural ceremony of the first Global Entrepreneurship Investment Conference of the Pujiang Innovation Forum and the High Quality Development Forum of Incubators."With an international perspective and open innovation, we have more confidence and belief in building Shanghai into a globally influential science and technology innovation center as soon as possible!"

In the view of Zhu Xueyan, a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Science and Technology, Shanghai science and technology workers can focus on global common challenges and issues. Through the smoother flow of various innovation resources, Shanghai can collide with other innovation node cities around the world to create more sparks, promote cooperation among various innovation entities in cultural exchanges, joint research and development, technology transfer, and other aspects, and strive to build Shanghai into one of the most densely populated and active hubs for global innovation elements.

"The science and technology innovation fields of both countries will definitely usher in more fruitful results"

The guest country of the 2023 Pujiang Innovation Forum is Brazil.Now the two heads of state have sent congratulatory letters to the Pujiang Innovation Forum, which undoubtedly further consolidates the relationship between the two countries. "Under the leadership of the leaders of both countries, I believe that the field of science and technology innovation between the two countries will undoubtedly bring more fruitful and beneficial results to both countries, and elevate the friendship and development between the two countries to a higher platform."

Petro Barabasky, Director General of the International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor Program, who came to China to participate in the Pujiang Innovation Forum, said, "I am very pleased to hear this. This is the basis for cooperation in the International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor Program. This international scientific program includes members such as China, the European Union, South Korea, Russia, Japan, India, and the United States, all of whom are working together to develop new energy sources that benefit humanity. The program has received strong support from Chinese partners, and we will continue to leverage the advantages of each member to accelerate progress."
