This year, for the first time, the Pujiang Innovation Forum was held in the host country, with a sub-forum organized during London Science and Technology Week. With the theme of "Building Technology Transfer Ecological Chain", the forum focused on robotics and international technology transfer, shared the achievements made by China and the UK in science and technology innovation, entrepreneurship and scientific research, and explored the huge potential of Sino-British cooperation in science and technology.
　　
　　In the Capital Matching session of the AI project, many robotics projects from China and the UK were shared and matched, such as the latest research results of "Vascular Interventional Surgery Robot" and "Micro Manipulation" by Professor Yang Guangzhong, Professor of Imperial College of Science and Technology and Academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering. Surgical Robot", "Conductor", a Chinese company with a patent for world-leading "dynamic 3D motion based on joint spatial position data", and "Mobile Vision Computing", a Chinese company specializing in mobile vision computing, were also launched. "Ximmerse". While commenting on the project, well-known investors also shared their thoughts on the Chinese and British capital markets and the internationalization of technology companies.
　　
　　At the Sino-British Technology Transfer Forum, Ms. Lin Xin, representative of the Executive Director of the China Academy of Science and Technology Development Strategy, and Zhang Yiwen, Deputy Director General of the Science and Technology Department of Zhejiang Province, delivered a speech; Huawei Technologies UK R&D Centre shared the progress of the graphene project jointly developed by Huawei and the University of Manchester; and Oxford ISIS Science and Technology Innovation, whose many innovative companies are listed on the London Stock Exchange, delivered a speech.

The two centres will be housed in Cocoon Networks' European Technology and Innovation Centre building in London's Tech City. Cocoon Networks is the first Chinese-funded integrated technology and innovation platform in Europe focusing on cross-border incubators, accelerators, equity investments and technology transfer between China and Europe, and has the largest footprint of any urban innovation center in Europe at 70,000 square feet. All tenants are carefully screened to ensure a high quality operating environment. The establishment of Shanghai Innovation Center (London) and Shanghai Technology Exchange (London) will enable the exchange of cutting-edge ideas, technology and capital through a combination of "going out" and "coming in", greatly enhancing the exchange of capital and excellent research achievements between China and the UK. The docking and transformation is a solid step forward for Shanghai to accelerate the establishment of a science and technology innovation center with global influence.
