He suggested that, on the one hand, researchers should actively interact with the market and strive to turn technology into products which the market needs. On the other hand, IHB should further improve the relevant service system and strengthen the promotion of achievements. He said that the Wuhan Branch would provide more resources to help IHB transform its scientific and technological achievements.   

In his closing remarks, Prof. HU Wei, deputy director of IHB, said that the symposium was of great significance. It provided a good platform for the exchange of industrialization and application of scientific research.    

For the next step, IHB will actively implement relevant policies to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, help researchers obtain relevant resources, and promote relevant scientific and technological achievements, Hu said.
