The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) recently participated in the 7th World Intelligence Congress (WIC) in Tianjin to showcase technology innovations and to join other valuable exchange activities.

Prof. Christopher CHAO, Vice President (Research and Innovation) of PolyU led a delegation of PolyU scholars to attend the opening ceremony of the 7th WIC and other exchange programmes in Tianjin. 

With the theme on “Intelligence: Extensive Development Space, Sustainable Growth Driver,” WIC focused on cutting-edge scientific topics such as generative artificial intelligence (AI), 5G+AI, smart manufacturing. The three-day event brought government officials, scientists and entrepreneurs together to explore cooperation opportunities. 

In the technology exhibition, PolyU showcased latest innovations in ultra-precision machining and medical technology such as Nano Multi-rings Defocus Incorporated Lens and AI-driven heart disease diagnosis technology.

PolyU also co-organized a seminar on Tianjin-Hong Kong technology and innovation cooperation with Tianjin’s technology bureau. In the seminar, Prof. CHAO said riding on Tianjin’s solid entrepreneur and industry foundation and PolyU’s research expertise and talents, both entities would contribute to further collaboration on the establishment of research institute and promotion on translational research and knowledge transfer.

During the seminar, PolyU researchers, Tianjin’s technology entrepreneurs and education institutions made insightful sharing and discussion on innovative technologies such as ultraprecision machine technology, drones, AI-driven disease diagnosis, autonomous driving system. The discussion paved the way for further collaboration in research and technology development. 

A delegation of Tianjin’s technology bureau visited PolyU in February this year. PolyU was invited by the delegation to visit Tianjin and attend the president-entrepreneur round table forum at the WIC. Moving forward, PolyU would actively promote exchanges and cooperation with Tianjin government and organisations for further cooperation in research and technology development and talents exchange.
