InnoMatch brings technology innovations to market
Technology firms are expected to find the potential buyers, bridging innovation results in labs and market demands during the InnoMatch Expo from August 28 to 30 at the Shanghai Exhibition Center.
Connecting supply and demand sides of science and technology, the three-day fair will focus on global technology transfers and presenting a platform for demonstrating innovative solutions, as well as on matchmaking among countries, established corporations, startups and academic institutions. It will connect elites from various industries around the world to create an integrated place for global innovation.
Since its debut in 2020, InnoMatch has helped drive technological achievements in labs to walk across the "last one mile" to achieve industrial and market results. In the past two years, more than 10,000 technical orders have been released and displayed on site, and more than 5,000 on-site connections were realized, with an intended transaction volume exceeding 900 million yuan (US$138.5 million).
The Shanghai Technology Exchange started trading at the fair and opened a "mini version" trading exhibition hall at the second InnoMarch fair, with more than 1,500 listed results and a cumulative turnover of 847 million yuan.
The theme of this year's conference is "Building A Green Future." After two years of updates and iterations, the cloud-based exhibition is the first to adopt a 3D Smart Cloud Pavilion, using various cutting-edge technologies such as Metaverse, WebXR (virtual reality and augmented reality), cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and intelligent voice.
The Metaverse exhibition hall can be accessed anytime, anywhere based on the public cloud service. For the first time, the cloud pavilion will offer data sharing with the InnoMatch global supply and demand matching platform, realizing "3+365" (days) matching without interruption; 1:1 reproduction of the physical special decoration pavilion; a 3D virtual avatar to create an immersive user experience; and special booths integrating online communications, business card exchanges, virtual customer service, event live broadcasts and other functions for integrated and customized multidimensional demand.

Special pavilions will include the Netherlands Pavilion of the Guest of Honor Country, Hainan Pavilion of the Guest of Honor Province, European Pavilion, Korean Pavilion, Israeli Pavilion, Chongqing Pavilion, Yunnan Pavilion and Yangtze River Delta Science and Technology Innovation Community Pavilion.
An InnoMatch global supply and demand matching platform will debut, bringing together all elements of technology, talent, services and capital to create an innovative and integrated technology-transfer ecosystem.
Several summits and events will also be held, with themes covering tech firms' management, green technology, MBA/MPA training, connection between supply and demand, Sino-Japanese innovation, tech transfer and foreign research and development centers.
The expo is divided into four parts: major national achievements, matchmaking for the innovation needs of enterprises, a bridge for global science and technology innovations and the debut of SME's innovation products.
The global technology supply and demand matching platform officially began operations at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Pujiang Innovation Forum, which takes place on August 27 to 30. Supported by the National Technology Transfer Eastern Center, the platform uses digital technology to create an innovation ecosystem that integrates and matches technology, talent, services and capital, strengthening industry demand and market orientation.
The platform sets up sections such as a demand library, achievement library and industry community to strengthen the digitalization of elements, processes and products in the field of technology transfer. It enhances matching efficiency and accuracy of online work for technical managers and technology-transfer service agencies, forming a strong middle platform with two-way connectivity between the innovation and industrial chains. Finally, it helps enterprises and industries improve technical capabilities and accelerates digital economy development.
The Global Tech-Matching Fair is a three-day event that serves as an innovation bridge connecting supply and demand sides of science and technology.

The Intelligent Water Meter System
SiC reinforced Al matrix composite, developed by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, is widely used in aerospace because of its merits of lightweight, high specific strength and stable size. It has been successfully applied to the key components of the Yutu-2 Lunar Rover to carry out exploration on the moon. It was also used on the Chang'e-4 probe, including 12 key components such as the laser range finder, three-dimensional imager, infrared spectrometer, and other on-board optical instruments.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
The Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence System for the Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder, developed by the School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, will greatly reduce manpower input and save manpower costs in children's ASD training if it's widely used in the market, which helps relieve the economic and mental burden of families with ASD patients. With VR technology, the system is designed to train ASD children in precise body movements, hand-eye coordination, eye tracking, shared attention, and social communication skills. ASD affects around 20 million children in China. The limited manpower and technology provided by families, education, and intervention institutions are far from meeting the needs. This cost-effective, convenient and efficient technology will have a wide market potential.
