Xinhua News Agency, Chengdu, June 12 (Reporter Li Like) In Laos, agricultural science and technology personnel from Kunming, China, helped local farmers to breed new high-yield cassava varieties that are water-saving and labor-saving, and widely adaptable. On the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway, the first high-speed railway in Southeast Asia, China Railway Construction has equipped large-scale road maintenance machinery to ensure the smooth operation of the lines... Science and technology from China are becoming an important engine to promote the industrial upgrading of countries in jointly building the "Belt and Road" and continuously improving the level of local industrial development.

"China's technology is helping countries along the route to consolidate their industrial foundation and establish a fair industrial system of global cooperation." Alexander Usbinsky, director of the Belarus National Technology Transfer Center, introduced that in Belarus, Chinese high-tech enterprises are carrying out in-depth cooperation with local peers in the fields of new energy, machinery and equipment, big data, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, etc.

In Saudi Arabia, where water resources are scarce, the local area has long relied on water meter equipment from European and American companies. In 2024, the ultrasonic water meter intelligent factory built by the Chinese company Qingdao Jicheng Electronics Co., Ltd. and local enterprises was officially put into production. It not only realizes localized water meter production, greatly improving Saudi water resource management efficiency, but also sells products to Middle Eastern countries such as Qatar and Oman.

"We will also explore and promote the standards and management experience of China's water manufacturing industry toward more joint construction of the Belt and Road countries." said Han Feizhou, chairman of Qingdao Jicheng Electronics Co., Ltd.

At the second "Belt and Road" Science and Technology Exchange Conference held in Chengdu, Sichuan, many delegates expressed that promoting scientific and technological achievements to benefit people of all countries and building an open, inclusive and institutionalized platform for mutual learning will be an important direction for future cooperation.

At the conference, China announced the start of the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing International Technology Transfer Center, and plans to jointly build more than 20 international technology transfer nodes with countries jointly building the "Belt and Road" within three years, and promote more than 100 international cooperation projects.

"China's technological innovation forces have shown unprecedented vitality and potential. As an enterprise focusing on global technology transfer and regional innovation ecosystem construction, we are very concerned about the "Belt and Road" Belt and Road 'Science and Technology Cooperation' Double Thousand' Plan launched at the conference." said Betam Laumuller, president of German Shitaibai Technology Management Responsibility Co., Ltd.

This plan points out that by 2030, China's Chengdu-Chongqing region will implement a total of thousands of scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation projects for countries jointly building the "Belt and Road" and support two-way exchanges among thousands of young scientists.

"We will build a chain of technology introduction, local transfer, industrial upgrading and product globalization around the areas of artificial intelligence, medical health, low-altitude economy, and high-end semiconductors that are focused on the Chengdu-Chongqing region." Betham Lawmuller said.

"Chinese enterprises are transforming from traditional product trade and joint research and development to export key intermediates, production capacity production lines, supply chains and standard management." Liu Xiaohui, deputy director of the China-SCO Technology Transfer Center, said that this not only improves the efficiency of international cooperation and lowers the threshold for cooperation, but also helps jointly build the "Belt and Road" countries to cultivate localized brands.
