Plug and Play is a world-renowned tech innovation ecosystem platform dedicated to investing in and incubating early-stage tech companies and projects across the globe. Last June, the Plug and Play Nantong International Innovation Center was launched, marking a significant step in building a bridge between global tech resources and Nantong's industrial development. 

During the roadshow, participating teams presented a range of breakthrough achievements across several key sectors, including energy transition, healthcare and smart manufacturing, many of which demonstrated enormous industrialization potential. 

The event also served as a fruitful platform for cooperation. Several local enterprises and investment institutions reached preliminary cooperation intentions with international teams on-site, laying a solid foundation for future collaboration. 

Sara Mercedes, CEO of Gaia Technologies, a US-based tech innovation enterprise, said, "Nantong is supportive of AI startup projects and the development of OPC companies. The city provides robust computing power to support startups and encourages innovation. We hope to establish a long-term presence here and grow together with the city."
