The Pujiang Innovation Forum kicked off on Saturday in Shanghai, where Hungary is the guest of honor at the four-day event. The country represents itself with some forty experts, corporate and academic leaders who will showcase the world-class performance of Hungarian innovation at the Forum’s flagship stand.
“On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Hungary and China, Hungary will have a prominent role at the Pujiang Innovation Forum this year,” László Bódis, Deputy State Secretary for Innovation told MTI.
Our goal is to strengthen our research, science and innovation relations with Chinese partners, because if we look around the world, we can see that China is ahead of not only Europe but also the United States in innovation and science,”
he said.
He added that Hungary would also like to be at the forefront of science, research and innovation in various fields, and that close cooperation with Chinese companies and universities is therefore essential. A main goal of the Hungarian delegation is also to strengthen, further build and deepen these relations, thus, if possible, establishing by the end of the forum cooperation that would help Hungarian companies to sell their products and services in China.

László Bódis noted that
during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Hungary in May, a cooperation agreement was signed between the two countries in the field of research and development, with the aim of establishing joint laboratories between Hungarian and Chinese higher education research institutions.
The forum will not only help Hungarian companies, but will also help Hungarian universities to establish development cooperation with the world’s top Chinese universities and research institutes.
On Sunday, the event hosted a Hungarian sub-forum on the Sino-Hungarian Science and Innovation Day, with the focus on the main areas of the Neumann János Program, namely healthy lifestyles, Hungarian medical and health research, and innovation.
