The third World Expo forum themed "Science and Technology Innovation and Urban Future" concluded on Monday in Wuxi, neighboring Jiangsu Province.
The forum focused on how science and technology innovation can promote a city's development, lead a healthy growth of economy, achieve sustainable protection of the environment and fend off the negative impact of science expansion, said Zhong Yanqun, fulltime deputy director of the World Expo 2010 Shanghai Executive Committee.
Xie Kechang, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered a speech on "Future Energy and Low-carbon Science and Technology" this morning.
He said it is imperative to develop low-carbon energy technologies in an effort to pick up proper production and consumption methods and reduce energy demand.
About 800 guests attended the forum and they will visit the Expo site tomorrow.
Three more Expo forums will be held. One will take place in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu. Another two will be held in Zhejiang Province, one in Shaoxing and the other in Hangzhou.
