PolyU and CCTEG Research Cooperation Exchange Workshop deepens industry–academia–research collaboration and innovation

A delegation from the China Coal Technology & Engineering Group (CCTEG) visited The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) on 15 September for Research Cooperation Exchange Workshop, exploring new opportunities to bridge frontier technologies with real-world industrial applications.

During the visit, the delegation toured PolyU’s University Research Facility in 3D Printing, AIR Lab, and 6G Laboratory, experiencing firsthand insights into PolyU's cutting-edge research in advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and next-generation communication technologies.

During the discussion session, scholars from the PolyU Department of Applied Mathematics, Fashion and Textiles, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chemistry, Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering, and Industrial and Systems Engineering, presented their latest research projects and exchanged views with CCTEG representatives on industrial needs and technology applications.

The two parties identified several promising collaboration areas, including smart mine construction, new materials R&D, 6G communication applications, and AI-enabled automation and intelligent systems. The workshop not only deepened understanding in their respective areas of strength but also established a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration. This has laid a solid foundation for future industry–academia–research innovation and technology commercialisation.

PolyU and CCTEG will continue to leverage their complementary strengths to drive technological innovation, accelerate research translation, and contribute to the Nation’s scientific and technological advancement and high-quality industrial development.
