This grand event will be held in Wuhan, a central science and technology innovation highland with abundant scientific and educational resources and strong industrial foundation. It will gather experts, scholars, research teams, universities, institutes, and leading enterprises in the national materials field. The conference is based on national strategic needs and industry development pain points, condensing cutting-edge academic leadership, focusing on key strategic materials, cracking industry common technologies, promoting cross disciplinary cross collaboration, and empowering young talents to grow. It comprehensively connects the entire chain of basic research, technological breakthroughs, industrial applications, and talent cultivation, helping China's new materials industry break through development bottlenecks and seize global industrial dominance.
Live audience
In terms of academic layout, this conference has established a diverse and comprehensive communication system, covering various forms such as invited keynote speeches, 125 cutting-edge sub forums, poster achievement exhibitions, and compilation and publication of excellent papers, covering the entire field of energy materials, information materials, advanced structural materials, biomedical materials, artificial intelligence+materials, and renewable new materials. The forum not only focuses on global cutting-edge hot topics such as atomic manufacturing, brain like materials, and quantum chips, but also on key strategic materials such as chips and high-temperature alloys. At the same time, relying on characteristic forums such as brain computer interfaces, thermal management materials, and additive manufacturing, it solves common technical difficulties in the industry and provides solid technical support for major national engineering construction.
Some Exhibitors
In addition, the conference has established a two-way linkage and resonance with the 27th China International New Materials Expo, successfully connecting the complete channel of "laboratory research achievements industrialization landing application", helping to efficiently connect the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and achieving multiple development goals such as cutting-edge exploration, technological breakthroughs, achievement transformation, talent empowerment, and industrial aggregation.
