Mr. Yi Peng warmly welcomed the AutoLife team and introduced Pangoal's research and practice in AI and industrial digitization. He noted that smart technology is accelerating into industry scenarios, and that deep coupling between think tanks and industry innovators is key to making the technology land and to building an industrial ecosystem — looking forward to long-term cooperation in tech transfer and industry research.
