在5月30日,首屆「科技賦能:灣區共融」港珠澳高校科技成果投資交易大會於珠海舉行。香港中文大學應邀參加此次重要活動,與市領導,包括黃振球先生和蘇虎先生,以及高新區的主要負責人、市直相關部門的負責人、高校代表、知名專家、學者以及科研機構、投資機構和企業代表進行交流,探索兩地進一步合作的機會。
會議期間,珠海高新區管委會對珠西科學城的發展規劃進行了全面介紹。該計劃將以珠海高新區為核心區,優先啟動建設,目標是將其打造成為粵港澳大灣區的科技創新策源地和應用場景試驗區。該策略重點集中在五個方面:加強與港澳的合作、利用高校資源、促進成果轉化、發展應用場景及培育創新生態。計劃包括建立五大創新中心:RISC-V生態應用創新中心、人工智能創新中心、具身智能創新中心、智譜華章「Z計劃」創新中心和生命健康應用場景創新中心。
大會展示了來自港珠澳三地高校的100多項科研成果,並展出了近200件前沿產品,為珠西科學城的科技成果轉化提供了空間載體和政策支持,旨在促進高校和企業之間的聯合實驗室集群驅動以及港澳科研需求的跨境響應,推動港珠澳高校的科技成果與灣區產業鏈的深度對接,為「實驗室IDEA」到「產業IP」的轉化鋪平道路。
此外,本次大會設立了以人工智慧、資訊技術和生命科學為主題的專場路演比賽,來自港珠澳的16所頂尖高校帶來了超過130項科技成果,涵蓋基礎研究、應用研究及產業化成果。香港中文大學的代表在人工智能賽道上獲得了一等獎和三等獎的殊榮。
