Nanjing Tech Week builds new platform to expand international 'friends circle'

KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 (Bernama) -- Themed ‘Innovation in Nanjing, Limitless Opportunities’, the ‘Nanjing Tech Week’ will be held on June 26, with the principal of "innovating, sharing and winning together".

Nanjing Tech Week brings together innovative minds to exchange groundbreaking ideas in summits that will form Nanjing's own ‘Davos Forum’.

It will host the NJ TECH exhibition to showcase cutting-edge technologies and create a brand-new version of VivaTech in Nanjing, addressing key topics of industrial development in a series of conferences, establishing Nanjing's own improved Hannover Messe, and holding competitions in entrepreneurship and innovation -- Nanjing's very own ‘Oscars’ to award excellence in both areas.

Nanjing Tech Week encourages different districts, universities and organisations to launch their respective events, establishing Nanjing's own ‘Roman Forum’ on innovation and entrepreneurship.

Meanwhile, the ‘2019 China Nanjing Tech Week Boston Station’ activities were recently held in Boston, USA, whereby, the Boston Station was one of the activities of the Nanjing Tech Week.

To deepen the construction of ‘Innovative City, Beautiful Ancient Capital’, Nanjing will hold ‘Nanjing Tech Week’, which aims to build an ideal space for mutual creation, build an international platform for sharing, and create unlimited opportunities for mutual benefit.

Since the beginning of the Tech Week, the organising committee has issued thousands of ‘Nanjing Invitations’ worldwide. Currently, it has received over 1,000 responses from more than 20 countries, including academicians of domestic and foreign academies, officials of the multinational Innovation Agency, and science and technology counsellors and world-renowned entrepreneurs.

Singapore will participate in the whole process as a guest country. It is expected that the number of participants in main conference will exceed 5,000, including 1,000 overseas guests, and the number of participants will be approximately 100,000 during the tech week.
