Shenzhen Longhua Hosts Immersive Digital Technology Experien

“What digital smart services are available in Shenzhen Longhua?” “What are the eye-catching ‘black tech’ products from Longhua companies?” The answers to these questions were revealed during an immersive digital technology experience event. On March 31st, the event “Shenzhen Technology Stories · Foreign Talents Explore Smart Longhua” and the offline sharing session of the “Global Messenger · Shenzhen Stories Club” were held at the Longhua International Cooperation Center, attracting nearly 40 foreign talents and enthusiasts from the technology field.

The keywords “digitalization”, “technologization”, and “intelligentization” permeated the day's event and were the most direct impressions of Longhua for the foreign attendees. At the Longhua District Future City Exhibition Hall, through vivid digital charts, audiovisuals, and interactive installations, they gained an intuitive understanding of Longhua's historical roots, marveling at the tremendous transformation from a manufacturing town to a digital district.

Sava Tomoiaga, a Shenzhen entrepreneur since the 1990s, was amazed by the day-to-day changes in the Longhua District. She said, “New libraries and art galleries have been built here. I will bring my children to visit these places, looking forward to coming to Longhua again.”

Muhammad Hamza Younes, a PhD student at Shenzhen University, stated that he had never visited Longhua before, and today's visit left him with a profound impression of Longhua's technological and green development.

Louay Ali Dib (Luoyi) believes that the cost of living in the Longhua District is very reasonable. Living here, one can enjoy a high-quality life at a relatively low cost, experiencing convenience and comfort. In his view, this is the most unique charm of the Longhua District.

At the “Global Messenger · Shenzhen Stories Club” Longhua Showroom, located in the Longhua District International Cooperation Center, the five major industrial clusters of Longhua including low-altitude economy, digital economy, new energy, high-end medical equipment, semiconductors, and integrated circuits were showcased, dazzling the foreign tech enthusiasts present.

Humanoid robots capable of performing thousands of actions and tasks, a monitoring system capable of real-time monitoring of intercellular fluid glucose levels for 14 days, and photon transparent TVs that perfectly integrate virtual images with the real environment... These impressive black tech products from local enterprises in Longhua won widespread acclaim.

Additionally, the “Love Letters to Shenzhen” confession wall also attracted the attention of foreign friends. By scanning a QR code to leave messages, they wrote moving city love letters to Shenzhen in their mother tongues, expressing genuine emotions.

This event also marked the official launch of the “Global Messenger · Shenzhen Stories Club”. As a highlight of the journey to Longhua's technology, a unique technology story theme sharing session immersed all attendees in the endless charm of technology. Three foreign technology experts shared their stories of engaging in the tech field and their experiences closely related to technology.

Michael John Eagleton from Australia spoke on the theme of “The Application of Technology in Shenzhen”. Eagleton deeply interpreted Shenzhen's remarkable progress in fields such as 5G technology, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and electric vehicles. He emphasized that Shenzhen not only has a deep culture of technological innovation but is also the first choice for global innovators and entrepreneurs, adding infinite vitality to the city's technological development.

Following him, Alain Garner shared on the theme of “Artificial Intelligence (AI)”. He suggested that the next important direction for AI is to transform it from complex textual content to genuinely human-centered design. His views sparked deep reflection among attendees on how artificial intelligence technology could better serve human society.

Finally, Louay Ali Dib (Luoyi) from Syria discussed the impact of artificial intelligence on humanity, sparking resonance among the audience.

The event concluded with the award ceremony for the “Most Active Messenger of 2023”, recognizing nine inpiduals who actively participated in international activities over the past year, conveying Shenzhen's stories and voice to the international community.

The “Shenzhen Global Messenger Plan” was initiated by EyeShenzhen in June last year. The plan aims to invite international inpiduals interested in Shenzhen's urban development, willing to actively participate in Shenzhen's international city construction, and possessing professional backgrounds and influential circles to serve as Shenzhen's global messengers. These messengers will share Shenzhen's city stories on international social media and various media platforms, spreading city observations and collectively building an international communication community with Shenzhen characteristics.

The event was hosted by the Publicity Department of the CPC Shenzhen Municipal Committee, the Office of the Foreign Affairs Working Committee of the CPC Shenzhen Municipal Committee (Shenzhen Municipal People's Government Foreign Affairs Office), and the People's Government of Longhua District, Shenzhen.
