During the opening ceremony, a total of 69 key projects were contracted, 
involving new materials, intelligent manufacturing equipment, new medicines, 
biotechnology, new energy and other industrial fields.

In addition, 126 innovative enterprise products and innovation platform results 
with Changzhou elements were displayed on site.

At the opening ceremony, the new technology applications attracted the 
attention of a large number of participants. For example, if participants 
forget to bring their cell phone, they can just scan the fingerprints to pay 
for items. If they place an order via their cell phone in the park, the 
driverless car will deliver them the goods they bought.
