The 2026 Regional Innovation\u2011Development Forum of Pujiang Innovation Forum was successfully held at Zhangjiang Science Hall on the afternoon of September 11. Co\u2011organized by the Second Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Shanghai Science and Technology Commission, science\u2011technology authorities of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, as well as Tongji University (School of Economics and Management & China Institute of Science and Technology Management), the event gathered representatives from government agencies, research institutes, tech enterprises and think\u2011tanks. Centered on \u201cStrengthening Coordination for Joint Development of the Shanghai (Yangtze River Delta) International Science and Technology Innovation Hub\u201d, the forum sought to advance open sharing of regional innovation resources and coordinated layout of innovation and industrial chains toward a world\u2011class source of scientific and technological innovation.<\/p>\n

Vice\u2011President Xuejun XU of Tongji University moderated keynote speeches and report\u2011release sessions. Jing LYU from the Ministry of Science and Technology delivered opening remarks, highlighting new strategic opportunities brought by the hub\u2019s geographic expansion to the whole Yangtze River Delta. She called for breakthroughs in fundamental research, industry\u2011tech integration, global talent recruitment and high\u2011level opening\u2011up during the 15th Five\u2011Year Plan period.

Three authoritative reports were officially unveiled. According to 2026 China Regional Science\u2011Technology Innovation Evaluation Report<\/em>, Shanghai ranks first nationwide in comprehensive innovation performance, with Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui all in the national top ten. Two additional think\u2011tank reports analyzed progress, strengths and future priorities for the Shanghai\u2011Yangtze River Delta innovation hub and the G60 Sci\u2011Tech Innovation Corridor, stressing smoother flow of talent, capital, data and research outputs.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Qian SHI, Chairman of the School Council of Tongji SEM, the round\u2011table discussions covered provincial\u2011level coordination, city\u2011level practices and corporate demands. Participants from science\u2011technology administrations across the Yangtze River Delta, key pillar cities and leading enterprises exchanged practical suggestions. They proposed giving full play to Shanghai\u2019s leading role, leveraging local comparative advantages, removing institutional barriers for cross\u2011regional talent mobility, building shared innovation platforms, and reinforcing the principal role of enterprises in innovation.<\/p>\n

Bringing together government, academia, industry and think\u2011tank stakeholders, the forum built wider consensus for hub construction. Going forward, the Yangtze River Delta will further deepen resource sharing, joint platform building, collaborative R&D and industrial coordination, contributing to national high\u2011level self\u2011reliance in science and technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
