GSF builds Full-Cycle Ecosystem for technology transfer

From Sept 9 to 10, the Greater Bay Area Science Forum – Hengqin & Macao Technology Transfer Matchmaking Event was held. Over two days, the event focused on precise matchmaking for technology transfer, connecting innovation resources in Guangzhou, Hengqin, and Macao.

It aimed to promote multi-field collaboration between Guangdong and Macao and to develop a comprehensive ecosystem that encompasses the entire process from research – transfer – global expansion.

Centering on demand-matching, the event adopted a full-cycle design: "lab visits – project roadshows – demand matchmaking – interactive exchanges." It connected enterprises from various industries, fostering reciprocal interactions between research and industry.

The GSF Secretariat states that since its beginning, the forum has encouraged regional integration and technology sharing in the Greater Bay Area. This event exemplified its targeted matchmaking approach, aiming to transform short-term goals into lasting collaborations, while utilizing Macao's strengths to boost the region's innovation ecosystem.

On Sept 10, the Macao program included focused sessions. The University of Macao highlighted advances in integrated circuits and traditional Chinese medicine, engaging in detailed discussions with enterprises. The Macao University of Science and Technology emphasized healthcare and artificial intelligence, exploring commercialization avenues. Many companies showed strong interest in ongoing dialogue and aim to expand collaboration through different models. 

Harnessing Macao's position as a bridge to Portuguese-speaking countries, the event also featured dedicated sessions to assist enterprises in expanding their international presence. The China-Portuguese-Speaking Countries Commercial and Trade Service Platform presented policies and success stories related to overseas growth, while a visit to the China-Portuguese-Speaking Countries Comprehensive Service Complex highlighted the platform's multidimensional development.

The agenda focused on integrating research, education, and industry. Enterprises visited various research institutions to explore the potential of scientific breakthroughs in industrial uses. Highlights included the "dual-base" model at Zhuhai Fudan Innovation Institute, an ultra-dense neuromorphic supercomputing system at the Guangdong Institute of Intelligent Science and Technology, and advanced displays at the Macao Science Center. The National Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed-Signal IC at the University of Macau impressed attendees with its chip research, while the State Key Laboratory of Lunar and Planetary Sciences at the Macau University of Science and Technology gained attention for its research capabilities.

Looking ahead, with the "precise matchmaking" model set to become a standard approach, Hengqin and Macao are expected to open a new chapter in technology integration within the "one country, two systems" framework.
