Baoshan has introduced a batch of new innovation policies to support enterprises and attract global professionals. These policies mainly aim to boost innovation and development for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Furthermore, Baoshan's collaboration with Shanghai University aims to strengthen university-industry ties, injecting new energy into the district's transformation.
The conference attracted over 3,000 attendees and 1,000 innovative projects. An "Innovation in Baoshan" themed exhibition area was set up on the sideline of the event, featuring high-tech exhibits such as brain-computer interfaces, humanoid robots and augmented reality and virtual reality gadgets.
The district government promised to continue its efforts to optimize the innovation environment, foster entrepreneurial spirit and enhance the development of its innovation hub.
The transformation of Baoshan's old iron-steel industries in the city's north and chemical industries in southern Jinshan District has been listed as a key priority for Shanghai's master plan for 2035, along with the creation of five "new cities" in suburban areas.
