China News Service, Beijing, November 2 (Tao Siyue) The ninth China International Import Expo is about to open. Cutting-edge innovative achievements were gathered at this CIIE, with “global debut, Asian first show, and first exhibition in China” hitting a new high, “spoilers” of global innovation trends.
First of all, cutting-edge technology has moved from "being able to speak and speak" to "being able to do", and its application boundaries are constantly expanding.
In the artificial intelligence track, AI begins to have a "body". The Intelligent Brain Racing Foundation will demonstrate a humanoid robot table tennis confrontation test - without human intervention, the robot relies on visual capture, trajectory prediction, tactical decision-making, and shot planning to complete high-speed continuous confrontation.
AI is also entering daily life. Bosch will launch an intelligent hybrid whole-house climate solution that coordinates cooling, heating, domestic hot water and air quality management, and uses AI self-learning to predict energy needs. Siemens' full-process end-to-end solution for humanoid robots covers robot body design, process simulation, virtual debugging and industrial field applications.
From autonomous robot actions to smart homes and industrial production, the application boundaries of AI are constantly expanding. Xiao Song, President of Siemens Greater China, said that during the ninth CIIE, Siemens will use innovation as the engine and scenarios as the traction to accelerate the transformation of cutting-edge technology into industrial value.
Secondly, innovative results are quickly moving out of the laboratory and from technological breakthroughs to concrete scenarios.
In the medical field, Medtronic will demonstrate a closed-loop brain-computer interface ecosystem to explore more intelligent and personalized solutions for patients with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia and epilepsy.
New applications are also emerging in the food and packaging sectors. Louis Dreyfus will exhibit a series of innovative animal nutrition products including special phospholipids and special proteins; the Sinar Mas Group APP will focus on packaging solutions and will showcase the "paper instead of plastic" application of paper-based materials in food, medicine and other fields.
The value of technological innovation is increasingly reflected in its ability to solve practical problems and meet market needs. Gu Yushao, Medtronic's global senior vice president and president of Greater China, said that China's big health industry has huge market potential, which is one of its sources of confidence in its development in China, and it will continue to be optimistic about the development prospects of China's medical device industry in the future.
Thirdly, multinational companies are accelerating their innovative layout in China and deeply integrating with the Chinese market.
More and more multinational companies are integrating the Chinese market into the global innovation map, adjusting products and services according to the needs of Chinese consumers, and promoting the implementation of innovation results through cooperation with local partners.
Zhou Dehan, CEO of New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra Greater China, said that the CIIE has always been an important platform for the company to deeply connect with Chinese partners, gain insights into demand changes in the local market and industry, and showcase innovative products and solutions.
With the help of the CIIE, Fonterra continues to deepen its understanding of the Chinese market and transforms market insights into local innovation practices. In June this year, its new application center in Chengdu was officially completed. It will work with local customers to create dairy application solutions that fit the market and have high added value.
This year, 3M Corporation of the United States will focus on presenting its cutting-edge innovations in four major fields: automobiles, electronics, safety, manufacturing materials and automation. According to Ding Hongyu, the company's Chinese president, the nine years of traveling with the CIIE are nine years for foreign-funded companies to seize opportunities and continuously cultivate their value chain in China.
Currently, 3M has more than 400 local R&D personnel in China and has contributed about a thousand patented inventions. "With the increasing investment in R&D in China, the number of new products developed locally in China this year has increased by more than 30% compared with last year. Although they originated in China, many of them will blossom and bear fruit around the world." Ding Hongyu said.
