Wenjian Liu, vice dean of the Faculty of Data Science of City University of Macao, mentioned in the forum that Tengchong is the Silk Road in the southwest, and Macao is an important node of the "the Belt and Road" Silk Road Economic Belt. At the moment of rapid development of artificial intelligence, it is necessary to further use and strengthen technical exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macau, especially in education and cultural exchanges, so as to deepen young friends' further involvement in the construction and development of the "the Belt and Road".
Jing Tian from the Chinese Medicine Clinic and Research Center of the Chinese University of Hong Kong suggested in the discussion to further strengthen the exchange and cooperation between Hong Kong and mainland Chinese medicine research, promote the participation of Western Hospital in the Sino Western Cooperation Program, and enable Chinese medicine and herbal medicine to further develop and flourish in the world.
In addition, young scientists also pay special attention to the technological development and cooperation in Yunnan, and hope to fully utilize Yunnan's unique advantageous resources. Yunnan's Sanqi is world-renowned. We hope to collaborate with our AI technology to explore the intelligent application of biotechnology, "said Hongliang Duan from the Artificial Intelligence Pharmaceutical Research Center of Macau Polytechnic University.
