SHANGHAI hopes to adopt some case studies presented by multinational companies at an exhibition to help the city meet its ambition of becoming a global innovation center in science and technology.

Selected through competitions over the past two years, the 43 case studies ranged from daily life such as how to make better use of wastes or how to guarantee food safety, to high technology in aerospace and biomedical science.

The exhibition also includes an introduction of the 13th Five-Year (2016-2020) Plan for the city and its blueprint for 2040 to help Shanghai grow into an "excellent global city."
