The reporter learned from the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission today that the 2023 Pujiang Innovation Forum will be held in Shanghai from September 9th to 11th, with the theme of "Open Innovation Ecology: Innovation and Global Links". The host country of this forum is Brazil, and the host province is Hubei Province. The opening ceremony and plenary session, 2 themed forums, 9 themed forums, 2 exhibition matchmaking events, and the "China Pakistan Night" will be held.
The Pujiang Innovation Forum, co hosted by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Shanghai Municipal Government, was established in 2008. The forum has always revolved around the theme of innovation, closely following the pulse of the times, and planning and promoting innovation with a global perspective. Over the past 16 years, the level and international influence of the forum have continuously improved, providing support for China's in-depth implementation of the innovation driven development strategy, accelerating the realization of high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and the construction of an international science and technology innovation center in Shanghai.
This year is the beginning year of fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and also a crucial year for carrying forward the 14th Five Year Plan. The Pujiang Innovation Forum will aim to become a national level platform for global scientific and technological innovation exchange and cooperation, closely adhering to the three major missions of "building an innovation network, grasping future trends, and cultivating youth power", and realizing the five functions of "source of cutting-edge innovative ideas", "wind direction" of world scientific and technological development, "booster" of international scientific and technological cooperation, "gravitational field" of global innovative talents, and "hub" of global technology transfer, to better serve the construction of Shanghai International Science and Technology Innovation Center and the world's science and technology powerhouse.
The 2023 Pujiang Innovation Forum press conference was held in Beijing.
This forum invites over 200 experts and scholars from international organizations, universities, research institutions, and industry from nearly 30 countries and regions, including China, Brazil, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, with nearly 40% of foreign guests attending.
Expert representatives from the Brazilian government, enterprises, and academia will form a delegation to Shanghai. During the forum, the first China Brazil Nanotechnology Symposium and other China Brazil Innovation Week activities will be held to explore new paths for cooperation between the two sides in the field of industry, academia, and research. In addition, Brazil's technological achievements and demands will be showcased in the national pavilion of the Global Technology Transfer Conference.
