The Chengdu city government recently held a matchmaking conference to display

an array of new devices and equipment that can be utilized in the fight against COVID-19,

as the world battles to get the pandemic under control. The conference was organized by

Chengdu Science and Technology Bureau.

The list of anti-epidemic products covered 218 items, highlighting 17 made by

Chengdu enterprises, such as virus-testing kits, temperature-testing helmets,

multi-functional solutions with drones, systematic anti-epidemic solutions and

melt-blown nonwoven facial masks.

It's vital to get the information about protective products, and the broadcast

provided such a channel, said Agustina Casavalle, deputy consul general of the

Consulate General of Uruguay in Chongqing.

Casavalle noted the products made in Chengdu, including the protective helmets,

disinfecting devices, remote diagnosis and treatment solutions using 5G

technology. She expressed her hopes for further commercialization.

Currently, Bavaria has a large demand for masks, protective gear and other

medical materials, according to Zheng Lanrui, a representative of the State of

Bavaria China Office.

High-end technological products to tackle the virus are also needed, such as

environmental monitoring devices, appliances for disinfection and sterilization

and virus-testing kits.

She added that the online broadcast with Chinese and English subtitles enabled

more people to learn about these products.

"In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the advanced technologies provided a

strong support for the epidemic control in Chengdu, which is worthy of praise

and attention," said Roland Xi, CEO of Polygon Precision Group.

Xi said his company will focus on the enterprises in Chengdu producing

intelligent temperature detection and medical devices. He expressed his

willingness to cooperate with them in developing automatic production lines

related to healthcare in the future.

"In the fight against the epidemic, Chengdu enterprises have developed so many

high-tech products. We have the responsibility to promote the products to the

world and make contributions to the global anti-epidemic work," said Nie Hong,

a director from the Chengdu Science and Technology Bureau.

Nie said that the event attracted a group of foreign-funded enterprises and

those engaged in foreign trade services. Many have built up partnerships

through their online platforms.

According to the organizers, the broadcast was viewed 1.68 million times, with

35 foreign-funded enterprises in Chengdu taking part agreeing to more than 30

initial cooperation intentions.
