The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) delegation attended the "3rd Jiangsu Industry-University-Research Cooperation Conference" in Nanjing, Jiangsu, on September 11th. Organized by the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Science and Technology and hosted by the Jiangsu Productivity Promotion Center, the conference is an annual high-level global event for technological innovation cooperation and technology matching.
Among the 158 domestic and international universities and institutions participating in the conference, PolyU as the only representative of universities from Hong Kong, showcased scientific research achievements through prototypes, videos, and display boards in an dedicated pavilion, including the "Mars Landing Surveillance Camera" installed on China's first Mars exploration mission "Tianwen-1," the "Liverscan" Portable Non-Invasive System for accurate detection of liver fibrosis and steatosis, and the Nano Multi-rings Defocus Incorporated Lens for controlling the progression of myopia (or short-sightedness), effectively enhancing the university's social impact.
