During the conference, Arthur B McDonald, the 2015 Nobel Prize winner for physics, talked about development of neutrino research and the reason why it makes sense to normal people. Brian Ring, chief scientist of US-based YiGene, said that genetic diagnosis should be available to the public, with information sharing and data analysis.
Visitors gathered in the booths with technology demonstrations like robot, drone and virtual reality.
Besides the exhibition, the three-day event includes 12 high-level forums that focus on the development trend of innovation and entrepreneurship, trade fairs for innovation and entrepreneurship resources and two innovation and entrepreneurship contests, organizers said.
