The 2020 ZGC Forum opened Thursday in Beijing, gathering together global leading scientists, business leaders, and international organization executives to discuss global innovation and cooperation amid the pandemic.

During the four-day event, leading scientists including Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winners as well as multinational enterprises and industry leaders will discuss topics like global innovation cooperation, bioscience, artificial intelligence, innovation ecosystem, and young business startups.

Due to travel restrictions during COVID-19, many overseas guests attended the event online through video conferencing. 

According to the organizer, the event has adopted the latest OLED transparent display technology to build a seamless live experience.

This year's forum also features a technology trade fair, in both online and offline formats, that aims to better connect the supply and demand sides. Over 1,000 foreign business representatives from some 30 countries will attend technology roadshows.

The Zhongguancun administrative committee and China Center for International Science and Technology Exchange have initiated an international technology trade alliance to promote cooperation. Since late July, a total of 103 organizations from China and 17 countries and regions like the U.S., the U.K., and Germany have expressed willingness to join the alliance.

According to the organizers, the forum's conferences, exhibitions, transactions, and releases will be available to the public via online livestreaming. 

The forum has been held 11 times since its founding in 2007.
