Teams from Shenzhen Technology University (SZTU) presented several innovative achievements. “Pingshan District and the university provide fertile ground for research and development,” said Liang Jiajia, whose team exhibited a window-cleaning robot capable of navigating different frames. “Attending the CHTF is our team’s first time stepping out of the lab to face the market as an exhibitor. We’re proud to promote the product, seek business partners, and hope to bring it to market soon.”

Startups founded by SZTU students also made an impact. Shenzhen Ruilixin Technology Co. Ltd. showcased a new-generation data acquisition system for automobiles, while SilentGenesis Tech Co. Ltd. presented multiple projects that demonstrate its capabilities in metaverse, digital life, and holographic technology.

The Beijing Institute of Technology’s Shenzhen Automotive Research Institute showcased solid-state batteries with high-energy density and ultra-fast charging, vehicle-mounted optical communication systems, electromagnetic pulse welding technology, and other prototypes, highlighting its strengths in electrification, intelligence, and advanced manufacturing. 

The institute was recently recognized as a national-level industrial intellectual property (IP) operation center. “Over the past six years, we have filed nearly 300 IP applications, with over 200 approved, and incubated 17 companies, two of which have secured tens of millions of yuan in funding,” said Liu Yang, a representative of the institute. He added that Pingshan’s well-developed industrial chain makes it highly suitable for implementing new technologies and that many domestic and international clients have expressed interest in further cooperation.
