New technologies are on display at the Innovation Sci-Tech Pavilion.

Try creating a unique virtual NFT (non-fungible token) gift, drinking a cup of coffee served by a robot barista, or calling a self-driving charging vehicle.

The Innovation Sci-Tech Pavilion of the ongoing 23rd China International Industry Fair showcases a wide spectrum of unique technologies depicting a near-future life.

The pavilion covers approximately 4,800 square meters and displays major scientific and technological advances in crucial industries such as renewable energy, smart manufacturing, and digital transformation.

Conflux, a world-leading public blockchain built by the Shanghai Tree-Graph Blockchain Research Institute, immerses users in the worlds of Web3 and the Metaverse. Nobody needs to know anything about computer programming to try to develop their own NFT.

Conflux has risen to become one of the top three third-generation public blockchains in the world, with 24.7 million accounts since its inception in October 2020.

China’s digital economy has reached 50.2 trillion yuan (US$6.9 trillion) by the end of 2022, ranking second in the world. It now accounts for 41.5 percent of the country’s GDP.
