On Nov 17, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) hosted a technology matchmaking event in Nansha, Guangzhou, unveiling over 240 innovations from 52 CAS institutions. Held alongside major cooperation project signings, the event aimed to accelerate the commercialization of scientific achievements in the Greater Bay Area (GBA).

The event coincided with CAS's 75th anniversary and 15 years of strategic collaboration with Guangdong province. Over the past decade and a half, the partnership has fostered cutting-edge platforms and talent, particularly since the launch of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Plan.
