Earlier this month, the 2019 Optoelectronics Global Conference (OGC) was held in Shenzhen, in conjunction with the China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE). As part of that, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) hosted the China Optoelectronic Industry and Policy Conference. The Conference was jointly organized by SUSTech, the China Investment Association High-tech Investment Professional Committee, and the China International Optoelectronic Exposition.

Acting Vice President of SUSTech, Zhao Yusheng, Dean of the School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Liu Ke, Head of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) Sun Xiaowei and Vice Dean of School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Shao Liyang were all presented at the Conference, along with top representatives from the optoelectronics industry, senior government officials, and researchers from other universities.. More than 100 experts and scholars attended the event that was hosted by Shao Liyang.

SUSTech Acting Vice President Zhao Yusheng welcomed the guests to SUSTech, providing a briefing to the university’s development plans. He said that SUSTech will actively seek out new talents to improve upon its disciplines as part of its quest to create an open and cooperative academic environment. Vice President Zhao also encouraged more companies to develop industry-university research partnerships with SUSTech to promote scientific & technological progress & innovation.

Liu Ke, Dean of the School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, announced the major initiatives that the School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship had introduced for cultivating postgraduate engineering talents and future business leaders. He also talked about the methodology applied to attracting overseas high-level talents to return to China.

The seminar included four sessions, which were policy interpretation, cutting-edge technology exchange, enterprise experience sharing, and panel discussion.

In the cutting-edge technical exchanges, two professors and colleagues from universities shared their latest academic research results. EEE Head Sun Xiaowei delivered an academic speech entitled “Color Innovation: Towards Ultra-wide Color Gamut”. He introduced a new generation of display technology based on new quantum dots. Prof. Sun compared the advantages of quantum dot display relative to OLED, including raw material properties, color gamut range, application scenarios, user experience, and investment required to develop the relevant production lines.

The enterprise experience sharing session saw a discussion of business, core technological advantages and development plans, before the round-table forum had seven guests focus on the optoelectronic industry from a wide range of angles. The round-table discussion saw significant interactions with the assembled experts.

Finally, Vice Dean of School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Shao Liyang closed the Conference, saying that it had established an important platform for people in the optoelectronics industry. He hoped that this Conference would contribute to the continued innovation and development of the industry.
