From Health Tech to Smart Cars: The CIIE Innovation Playground
Think wearable devices that predict health risks using AI 🩺, electric cars with self-parking superpowers 🚗💨, and eco-friendly fashion made from recycled plastics. These weren’t sci-fi concepts but real products showcased at CIIE, reflecting China’s demand for smarter, greener solutions.
"Chinese consumers don’t just adapt to innovation—they demand it," said Lena Chen, a tech executive at a European health startup. "This pushes us to think bolder."
