Hefei released more than 2,200 scene opportunities and implemented more than 1,300 cooperation projects

China News Service, Hefei, September 23 (Reporter Zhang Jun) The reporter learned from the 2026 Co-creation Scenario Competition Outstanding Results Release Event on the 22nd that so far, Hefei has released more than 2,200 scenario opportunities, implemented more than 1,300 cooperation projects, and served more than 4,300 technology companies.

Scenarios are specific situations used to systematically verify the industrial application of new technologies, new products, and new business formats, as well as supporting infrastructure, business models, and institutional policies. The core is to allow new technologies and new business formats to find a "stage" for actual implementation and promote innovation results from the laboratory to the market. Hefei is one of the first cities in the country to systematically deploy scene innovation.

This competition is open to city-level application scenarios. The 35 questions are all taken from the front-line pain points of the industry. Solutions are solicited from across the country, attracting nearly 300 scientific and technological innovation companies to sign up. The competition will promote the accurate connection between new technologies and new products and real application scenarios through program solicitation, supply and demand docking, project review, on-site verification and implementation guidance.

Real scenes have become the “testing ground” for technology iteration. In Hefei, unmanned express delivery vehicles have completed the transition from demand matching to large-scale implementation within a few months, covering many towns and villages in Hefei; the fog monitoring and early warning project has been demonstrated and deployed on high-speed roads; the three-in-one smart charging demonstration station has been upgraded, effectively improving charging safety.

At present, Hefei has created a number of demonstration scenarios such as full-space unmanned systems and quantum metropolitan area networks, promoting innovative scenarios such as quantum encryption and vehicle-network interaction from concept verification to large-scale application. (over)
