Sharing technologies along Yangtze River

The third forum on sharing technological resources along the Yangtze River Economic Belt was held in Gui'an New Area, Southwest China's Guizhou province on Nov 16, 2018.

With a theme of "Innovation leads technology, big data boosts resource sharing," the forum served as a bridge for cities along the Yangtze River to balance technological resources in developed and undeveloped areas.

Experts, scholars, and government officials from 11 provincial regions discussed relevant case studies and promoted creative methods from the previous year.

They also analyzed the gap between supply and demand in smart manufacturing, electronic information, biological medicine, and new energy, so that a shared attitude of collaboration and cooperation could spur industrial development as soon as possible.

State-owned research institutions and enterprises inked a multitude of cooperative agreements to speed up the popularization of technological breakthroughs in domestic and overseas markets.

In addition, the provincial technological departments of Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui penned a deal to facilitate the sharing of innovative resources in the Yangtze River Delta.

The Yangtze River Economic Belt boasts the most intensive technological resources in China. The belt area's numbers of research equipment and scientific databases both account for about 40 percent of the country's total.

However, imbalanced distribution is gradually getting in the way of industrial efficiency and green development, which spurred the creation of the annual technology sharing forum in 2016.

This year's forum was jointly hosted by the Department of Technology and Science of Guizhou Province, the Administrative Committee of Gui'an New Area, and the Technological Resource Sharing Platform of the Yangtze River Economic Belt
