Wenzhou, China, 22nd Sep 2026 – The 2026 World Young Scientist Summit (WYSS) has launched a global call for cutting-edge science and technology projects for the 3rd “Universal Gravitation π” Exhibition & Exchange Event, a core supporting event of the 8th WYSS. The event will be held from October 23 to 25, 2026, at the Garden Expo Park International Conference Center (China Pavilion) in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
Under the theme “Young Minds with π · Smart Innovation for the Future,” the event aims to connect promising technologies with talent, capital, industry and market opportunities, helping accelerate the transition of scientific discoveries from laboratories to real-world applications.
Built around the 0→1→10→100 technology development pathway, the exhibition will feature four dedicated zones representing different stages of technology commercialization: Patent Source Innovation, Concept & Principle Verification, Pilot-Scale Process Maturation, and First-Set Mass Production & Commercialization.
The exhibition will focus on emerging and future-oriented industries, including embodied intelligence, new energy and new materials, laser and optoelectronics, life and health, smart healthcare, brain-computer interfaces, and low-altitude equipment.
The Patent Source Innovation Zone will feature high-value invention patents from universities, research institutions, technology companies and inventors worldwide. Priority will be given to projects including PCT applications, award-winning patents, critical technologies in strategic emerging industries, and patents that have attracted licensing, technology transfer or venture capital interest.
The Concept & Principle Verification Zone will highlight original early-stage technologies that have completed laboratory proof-of-principle testing, with an emphasis on technological originality and breakthrough potential.
The Pilot-Scale Process Maturation Zone will feature technologies that have advanced from laboratory prototypes to pilot-scale validation, particularly projects demonstrating measurable improvements in process parameters, yield or performance and showing potential for industrial collaboration.
The First-Set Mass Production & Commercialization Zone will showcase major technical equipment, new materials, software and AI terminal products that have entered industrial production or established mass-production capabilities, supported by actual application cases or customer orders.
Beyond the exhibition, the event will include a hard-tech investment and financing conference, challenge-based matchmaking sessions, new product launches, immersive technology experiences and application demonstrations. Industry-chain maps will also be released to facilitate connections between innovation projects, investors and potential industrial partners.
The event will leverage Wenzhou’s global entrepreneur network and local innovation support mechanisms to provide participating projects with opportunities spanning technology showcase, investment and business matchmaking, industrial collaboration and project implementation.
Universities, research institutes, new R&D institutions, technology companies, medical and healthcare institutions, industry alliances, innovation teams, patent inventors and other innovation entities worldwide are invited to apply. Applicants must hold clear and legitimate intellectual property rights to the technologies they submit and provide complete and verifiable application materials.
Participation is by invitation only, with no booth fees charged. Selected exhibitors will be responsible for transportation, travel and related expenses unless otherwise agreed.
Applications are open through September 25, 2026. Expert review and selection will be completed by September 28, followed by confirmation of exhibits and demonstration plans by October 12. Exhibition setup will take place from October 20 to 22, with the official event running from October 23 to 25.
Applicants should complete the WYSS Exhibitor Information Form and submit it together with the supporting materials required for the relevant exhibition zone.
