The Chengdu city government recently held a matchmaking conference to display 
an array of new devices and equipment that can be utilized in the fight against 
COVID-19, as the world battles to get the pandemic under control. The 
conference was organized by Chengdu Science and Technology Bureau.

The list of anti-epidemic products covered 218 items, highlighting 17 made by 
Chengdu enterprises, such as virus-testing kits, temperature-testing helmets, 
multi-functional solutions with drones, systematic anti-epidemic solutions and 
melt-blown nonwoven facial masks.

It's vital to get the information about protective products, and the broadcast 
provided such a channel, said Agustina Casavalle, deputy consul general of the 
Consulate General of Uruguay in Chongqing. 

Casavalle noted the products made in Chengdu, including the protective helmets, 
disinfecting devices, remote diagnosis and treatment solutions using 5G 
technology. She expressed her hopes for further commercialization. 

Currently, Bavaria has a large demand for masks, protective gear and other 
medical materials, according to Zheng Lanrui, a representative of the State of 
Bavaria China Office. 

High-end technological products to tackle the virus are also needed, such as 
environmental monitoring devices, appliances for disinfection and sterilization 
and virus-testing kits.

She added that the online broadcast with Chinese and English subtitles enabled 
more people to learn about these products. 

"In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the advanced technologies provided a 
strong support for the epidemic control in Chengdu, which is worthy of praise 
and attention," said Roland Xi, CEO of Polygon Precision Group.

Xi said his company will focus on the enterprises in Chengdu producing 
intelligent temperature detection and medical devices. He expressed his 
willingness to cooperate with them in developing automatic production lines 
related to healthcare in the future.

"In the fight against the epidemic, Chengdu enterprises have developed so many 
high-tech products. We have the responsibility to promote the products to the 
world and make contributions to the global anti-epidemic work," said Nie Hong, 
a director from the Chengdu Science and Technology Bureau.

Nie said that the event attracted a group of foreign-funded enterprises and 
those engaged in foreign trade services. Many have built up partnerships 
through their online platforms.

According to the organizers, the broadcast was viewed 1.68 million times, with 
35 foreign-funded enterprises in Chengdu taking part agreeing to more than 30 
initial cooperation intentions.
