Baoshan district’s sci-tech strength shines at CIIF

The 26th China International Industry Fair (CIIF) wrapped up its five-day run on Oct 16, with Shanghai Industrial Park of Robotics and Baoshan High-tech Zone standing out with cutting-edge technologies.

The robotics park shifted from broad outreach to targeted engagement, with its team visiting more than 15 high-potential companies each day and securing more than 10 preliminary deals.
