CPD Deputy Director Wang Zhong explained why the delegation wanted to learn about SUSTech. He said that SUSTech had developed an impressive talent pipeline in Micro-LED technology with interdisciplinary industry-university research platforms. Wang Zhong added that the delegation hoped to get some insights into how SUSTech operates in the field, in order to better integrate resources for the development of the field across China.

Following these instructions, there were significant in-depth discussions about the development of the display industry in China, and the requirements for building the National Manufacturing Innovation Center at SUSTech. Industrial representatives provided additional information to the delegation, based on the situation on the ground.
