Over the past 16 years, the Pujiang Innovation Forum has steadily increased its

global influence, thanks to broad support. It has played a pivotal role in

advancing China's innovation-driven development strategy, scientific

self-reliance, and self-improvement, and the transformation of Shanghai into a

technological innovation hub. The 2023 Pujiang Innovation Forum, themed

"Fostering an Open Innovation Environment: Innovation and Global Connections",

was held on Sept.9-11 and it featured over 300 guests from 31 countries and

regions, with nearly 40% coming from abroad. Additionally, it debuted the

Global Entrepreneurship Investment Conference, aimed at establishing Shanghai

as the premier global destination for technology entrepreneurship investment by

facilitating connections between projects and capital, according to Shanghai

Center for Pujiang Innovation Forum.

Another notable forum event is the Global Technology Transfer Conference, which

centers on three core elements: innovation demand, talent support, and capital

strength. By utilizing the InnoMatch global supply and demand platform, the

conference included an expansive 10,000-square-meter offline exhibition area,

showcasing over 3,000 technology requirements and more than 20,000 job

opportunities for scientific and technological talents across the nation.

As an influential innovation forum, the Pujiang Innovation Forum, positioned at

a new juncture, aspires to become a national-level platform for global

scientific and technological innovation exchange and cooperation. It is firmly

committed to three core missions: establishing an innovation network, staying

attuned to future trends, and nurturing young talent. Its five key roles

encompass serving as a wellspring of cutting-edge innovation thinking, a global

benchmark for scientific and technological advancement, an accelerator for

international scientific and technological collaboration, a magnet for global

innovation talent, and a hub for global technology transfer. All of these

efforts align with Shanghai's vision of evolving into an international

epicenter for science and innovation and achieving the goal of becoming a world

leader in technology.
