China News Service, Tianjin, November 14th. Title: 2026 Enterprise Science and Technology Innovation and Development Forum was held in Tianjin. Future industrial competition will shift to transformation efficiency
Author Sun Yifei Xue Chunyue
On November 13, the 2026 Enterprise Science and Technology Innovation Development Forum with the theme of "Open Innovation·Integration and Symbiosis" opened in Tianjin Binhai High-tech Zone. The forum was hosted by Science and Technology Daily and Tianjin Binhai High-tech Industrial Development Zone Management Committee. The forum report shows that my country's future industries are at a stage where technological routes have not yet converged, the growth rate of industrialization has slowed down, and the focus of competition has shifted from resource endowment to transformation efficiency.

During the forum, the transformation practices of two companies attracted attention: one transformed the syndrome differentiation experience of a famous veteran Chinese doctor into a screening tool available at the grassroots level, and the other transformed supercomputing resources into public computing services that robotics companies can afford.
AI Four Diagnostic Instruments of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Turning the experience of famous doctors into a grassroots screening tool
In the forum exhibition area, people stopped by the AI four-diagnostic instrument of traditional Chinese medicine produced by Beijing Zhengtong Cloud Digital Technology Company from time to time. Li Yanling, marketing manager of the company, said that this vertical dual-pulse diagnosis equipment imitates the "look, smell, ask, and feel" of traditional Chinese medicine. It collects pulses from the face and tongue and takes pulses from the left and right hands. It generates a physical report in a few minutes and gives conditioning suggestions such as diet, rest, and moxibustion acupuncture points.
Li Yanling introduced that the equipment has recorded the prescriptions of 56 masters of traditional Chinese medicine and the medical records of 223 famous traditional Chinese medicine experts. According to the company, the device's accuracy is "equivalent to the level of a deputy chief physician." She also said that the device is positioned as an auxiliary screening tool, and the final diagnosis still needs to be completed by a licensed physician.
There is a shortage of Chinese medicine practitioners, especially at the grassroots level. Transforming the syndrome differentiation experience of famous and veteran TCM doctors into screening capabilities that can be deployed in a standardized manner corresponds to the realistic gap of "some people but no doctors" at the grassroots level. Li Yanling said that the company is currently promoting nationwide investment promotion, and institutions such as Beijing Tongren Hospital and Fuwai Hospital are already in contact.
Tianhe Supercomputer: Provides public computing power services to robotics companies
Liu Shuhao, computing power technical supporter of Tianjin Tianhe Computer Technology Co., Ltd., came to the robot sub-forum to look for the combination of computing power base and embodied intelligence. He said that in order for embodied intelligent robots to complete the closed loop of perception, decision-making and action, they cannot do without large model training and complex scene simulation, which is exactly what the super-intelligent fusion computing power platform supports.
Tianhe Computer Company relies on the National Supercomputing Tianjin Center and the "Tianhe" series of supercomputing systems to focus on the construction of independent computing power systems and cross-regional heterogeneous computing power scheduling. Liu Shuhao said that what Tianhe wants to do is to turn computing power into a public infrastructure that enterprises can afford, allowing the robot team to focus on ontology research and development and scenario implementation, without having to build computing power infrastructure from scratch.
Wu Jing, a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Science and Technology and President of Science and Technology Daily, said at the forum that it is necessary to promote the accumulation of innovative resources into enterprises so that scientific and technological achievements can truly be transformed into real productivity.
Conversion efficiency becomes the key to future industry competition
The forum report summarizes the industrialization of my country's disruptive technologies as a critical leap period of "innovation accumulation-ecological empowerment-industrial momentum building". The report believes that at a stage when the technical roadmap has not yet converged, what determines success or failure is no longer who makes the prototype first, but who can first turn the prototype into a replicable, affordable, and scalable real supply.
Yang Liu, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Tianjin Binhai High-tech Zone, introduced at the forum that the High-tech Zone is building a Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei New Quality Productivity Innovation Collaborative Zone around leading industries such as new generation information technology and future industries such as brain-computer interface and cell gene therapy. She introduced that in the first three quarters, the region’s GDP grew by 9%, the Xinchuang and supercomputing industries accelerated their aggregation, and the biomanufacturing action plan was implemented.
During the forum, the transformation practices brought by many companies showed that whether technology prototypes can be transformed into replicable, affordable, and scalable realistic supplies is becoming the key for companies to enter the future industry track.
