Scientific Achievements
The event will present major scientific breakthroughs, including the "Qinling Station" in Antarctica, a research base that addresses a critical gap in the Ross Sea. The introduction of the world’s first low-temperature scientific device without liquid helium by the CASQI marks a significant advancement.

Medical Innovations
Innovations in healthcare will also be showcased, such as Longwood Valley Medtech’s orthopedic surgical robot with a self-developed AI model and a wearable artificial larynx from Beijing Xinzhiruisheng Technology, designed to assist patients with dysphonia.

International Trade Promotion
In an effort to facilitate collaboration, the expo will include a series of promotional activities aimed at boosting trade and investment within the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Special sessions will connect enterprises with international markets, enabling high-quality Beijing-made products to explore new global opportunities.

AI Empowerment for Consumers
Finally, the expo emphasizes the empowerment of consumers through AI innovations. Attendees will experience technologies that enhance daily life, such as Hangzhou Qiangnao Technology's bio-inspired robotic devices and AI-driven educational tools from iFlytek. These innovations not only enrich consumer experiences but also underscore the seamless integration of technology into daily routines.

Established in 1998, the Expo is China’s first major international technology exhibition and the only technology-themed event organized by the People's Government of Beijing Municipality.
