Today, InnoAccelerate, a new concurrent event at CHINAPLAS 2026, will host an afternoon conference that connects industry and academia through an efficient innovation-matching platform, accelerating the commercialization of scientific and technological advances.

University professors will present recent progress in turning research into commercial projects and demonstrate advanced applications of emerging technologies.

For instance, Shanghai Jiao Tong University will present "Development and Application of Additive and Composite Material Simulation Software Technology", East China University of Science and Technology will discuss "Industrialization and Application of Wash‑Resistant, Full‑Lifecycle Antimicrobial Polyolefin Antibacterial Agents", and Donghua University will speak on "Key Technologies and Industrialization for High‑Quality, High‑Efficiency Manufacturing of Aviation Thermoplastic Composite Structures".

InnoAccelerate also includes an exhibition showcasing university innovations.

The InnoAccelerate event features a conference and an innovation showcase.  

Not-to-be-missed events on Day 4

Collaboration between CHINAPLAS and universities continues beyond InnoAccelerate. To help companies address recruitment challenges and attract top talent, Development Day for Campus Elites will bring traditional campus recruiting to CHINAPLAS on Day 4.

The event includes onsite sharing sessions, face-to-face industry-academia exchanges, and group visits, all designed to foster productive dialogue and cooperation between academic institutions and industry.

Also on Day 4, don't miss the Decode Trends Forum and an exclusive tour of Shanghai FANUC Intelligent Factory Phase III. The forum comprises three sub-forums covering the latest CMF trends and applications, opportunities for scenario-driven innovation, and advances in humanoid robotics and the low-altitude economy.

The FANUC Intelligent Factory integrates R&D, manufacturing, exhibition, sales, system integration, and after-sales services. During the factory visit, participants will gain insight into the operations of this smart facility, including the Robot Simulation Production Line and the Smart Manufacturing Experience Center.
