10th CSITF：IP helps China's technology trade expand global reach
The 10th China (Shanghai) International Technology Fair (CSITF) took place as scheduled from June 12 to 14 in Shanghai. This year's CSITF featured five main exhibition areas: the Theme Pavilion, Energy and Low-Carbon Technology, Digital Technology, Biomedicine, and Innovation Ecology and Services. The event showcased innovative achievements from nearly a thousand high-tech and specialized enterprises from 10 countries and regions worldwide, as well as 19 provinces and cities across China.
During a tour of the exhibition, a reporter from China Intellectual Property News observed a dynamic surge in emerging industries such as new energy equipment, low-altitude economy, large models, and service robots. There was a steady expansion in the cooperation matrix encompassing technology trade, patent transformation, and service support, heralding the vibrant energy of new productive forces and a promising technological future.
Creating a "kaleidoscope" of advanced technologies
A trip from Hongqiao in Shanghai to Suzhou in Jiangsu takes about 15 minutes by electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, costing between 200 to 300 yuan. As the low-altitude economy takes flight, "air taxis" are becoming a reality. At the CSITF, Shanghai TCab Technology Co., Ltd. (TCab) showcased its self-developed E20 eVTOL, a fully-electric, 5-seat model. Since October 2023, the E20 eVTOL has completed its initial flight tests and has been conducting regular trial flights at Hengdian Airport.
"The E20 eVTOL is the first in China to achieve a breakthrough in tilting rotor technology, offering fast cruising speeds, a high load ratio, and exceptional cost-effectiveness for commercial operations," explained Xu An, Brand Director at TCab. The E20 eVTOL is in the process of obtaining type certification (TC) and has already secured intentions for hundreds of orders.
At the booth of Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Electric), the first developed and controllable F-class heavy-duty hydrogen-enriched gas turbine in China was unveiled, representing a significant breakthrough from "zero to one" in green, low-carbon technologies. Shanghai Electric has continuously advanced its technological developments and expanded its patent portfolio in areas such as burner upgrades and monitoring and control system optimizations, significantly enhancing China's energy security and its capacity to integrate new energy sources.
In recent years, Shanghai Electric has actively operated in China's nuclear fusion industry, making continuous progress in the fusion reactor main system business, with products covering all core components of fusion devices. The company has shipped HH-70, the world's first fully high-temperature superconducting Tokamak device, and delivered EXL-50U, the world's first compact fusion device vacuum chamber in its entirety. In the competition for "clean nuclear energy" and "safe nuclear energy", Shanghai Electric plays a pivotal role in propelling the sustainable development of global energy.
Drawing "concentric circles" for technology trade
The 10th CSITF intensified the involvement of various capital entities, incubators, accelerators, and other investment service organizations, providing comprehensive services for tech investment, financing, and market transformation. It continued to host intellectual property (IP), talent, and legal service organizations, which facilitated transactions through dedicated service windows and stations.
The National Intellectual Property Operation (Shanghai) International Service Platform (International Operation Platform), an integral part of China's public IP operation system and a key infrastructure for Shanghai's technology and innovation center, debuted at the CSITF this year. It aims to enhance technology import and export trades through IP transactions and operations.
At the event, the International Operation Platform helped Anhui Zhongke Xiangsheng Technology Co., Ltd. secure two orders for 3D printing equipment, including one from a Japanese company scouting the exhibition. "Since its inception in 2019, the platform has served over 600 enterprises and facilitated IP transactions worth more than 20 billion yuan," said Pan Xi, Head of the International Operation Platform and Chairman of the Shanghai Intellectual Property Rights Trading Center.
The Public Service Platform for Open Competition, initiated by the Science, Technology, and Economy Commission of Pudong New Area and managed by the Shanghai Yangtze River Delta Technology Innovation Research Institute (Shanghai YRD Institute), attracted numerous inquiries at the CSITF. "The platform focuses on sectors like information technology, new materials, and biomedicine. Companies with a clear investment intent act as 'challengers' issuing technical needs globally, while the Shanghai YRD Institute, based on its industrial technology innovation system, matches these needs with Chinese and international universities and top-tier research teams who serves as the 'solver'," explained Wu Junwei, Business Director of the Regional Cooperation Department at the Shanghai YRD Institute. By June 2024, the platform had nearly 1,100 registered users and had signed nearly 30 projects, with a total project value exceeding 60 million yuan.(by Li Yangfang)
第十年如约而至，中国（上海）国际技术进出口交易会（下称上交会）于6月12日至14日在沪举行。此届上交会设置了主题馆、能源低碳技术、数字技术、生物医药、创新生态及服务等五大展区，汇聚了来自全球10个国家和地区及中国19个省区市的近千家高新技术和专精特新企业的创新成果。
中国知识产权报记者在探展时见证了新能源装备、低空经济、大模型与服务机器人等新兴产业赛道风起云涌，技术贸易、专利转化、服务保障的合作矩阵稳步扩容，新质生产力的蓬勃能量和值得期待的科技未来扑面而来。
打造前沿技术的“万花筒”
