With the theme of "intelligent manufacturing + low-carbon scientific and technological achievements", the event follows the national "dual carbon" strategy and focuses on the practical needs of the Foshan High-tech Zone to develop new energy industries and build low-carbon and energy-saving parks. It aims to remove obstacles in the transformation of low-carbon scientific and technological achievements, through demand mining, project roadshows, investment and financing docking, and transformation tracking.

Liang Yuning, the second-level inspector of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, expressed the hope that Foshan Hi-tech Zone will aid in Foshan's industrial upgrading with the supply of high-quality technology, and will make new contributions to Guangdong's global influence and goal of building itself into a technological and industrial innovation highland.

As the first and only prefecture-level city in Guangdong province to host the Scientific and Technological Achievements Express for four consecutive years, Foshan has established a technical commissioner system. The technical commissioner acts as a "translator" between enterprises and scientists to resolve the contradiction between technical demand and information supply.

From 2019 to 2021, Foshan has trained 263 technical commissioners, collected more than 2,400 technical requirements of enterprises, and facilitated the registration of technical transactions amounting to 550 million yuan ($80.80 million).

This year, the Foshan Hi-tech Zone tapped into scientific research assistant job resources and recruited fresh college graduates. Up to now, the zone has released more than 1,000 scientific research assistant positions and has recruited more than 800, further accumulating new strength for Foshan's innovation and development.
