How smart can your life be today? At the opening ceremony of the 2023 Minhang Science and Technology Festival held on May 23, a number of new technologies and new products closely related to people's lives, such as smart pets, unmanned supermarkets, smart education, and AI exhibit activation, from science and technology innovation companies in the region were obtained The display shows the changes brought by technological innovation to urban life from a familiar life perspective.
In February this year, the Shanghai Municipal Government officially released the "Plan for Promoting the Construction of the "Big Zero Bay" Science and Technology Innovation Source Functional Zone". Taking advantage of the Shanghai Municipal Government's opportunity to promote the construction of the "Big Zero Bay" innovation source, this year's Minhang Science and Technology Festival will focus on " Activities with the theme of "Science and Technology as the Source, Intelligence as the Future" will open up a new situation in which technological innovation empowers industrial life and urban development, and condense innovative intelligence to empower a new pattern of innovation-driven development. Facing the future, cutting-edge technologies such as AI technology, synthetic biology, and translational medicine will also enable the further development of "Big Zero Bay".
At the opening ceremony, 12 Minhang district-level innovation R&D centers in 2022, 8 enterprises selected for the second batch of "Zhangjiang Star" cultivation plan and 11 "Science and Technology Star" top 100 enterprises were awarded honorary medals to encourage the general public Scientific and technological enterprises strengthen independent innovation, continuously improve their hard scientific and technological strength, and make new contributions to Minhang's economic and social development.
At the scene, Minhang Science Popularization IP Image Version 3.0 was officially released, and its image is highly contagious with science popularization culture. It is reported that in order to care for autistic children, the District CPPCC, District Science and Technology Committee and Hotdog jointly issued a limited edition public welfare digital blind box - Min Min Blind Box, and presented Minhang science popularization IP numbers to 100 "Star Children" families. Blind box, open the blind box to randomly get any one of the four digital blind boxes: "Maqiao Lion Dance", "Aerospace Pilot", "Subway Conductor" and "Big Zero Bay Maker".
Children can use the digital blind box to visit 10 popular science education bases for free within two years, including the Shanghai Aerospace Science Center, Shanghai Metro Museum, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University Biogenetic Science Popularization Base. We hope that through the appeal of science culture, we can accompany "children of the stars" to escape loneliness. .
