PolyU shares insights on higher education innovation and smart energy at 2026 Sustainability Global Leaders Conference in Shanghai
PolyU was invited to participate in the 2026 Sustainability Global Leaders Conference in Shanghai from 20-22 October, organised by the World Green Design Organisation and Sina Group. The Conference brought together over 300 leaders and experts for high-level dialogue under the theme “Building a Resilient Future Together: Global Governance, Innovation-Driven Growth, and Industrial Upgrading.”
Prof. Zijian Zheng, Vice President (Knowledge Transfer), joined the panel “Higher Education at a Crossroads: Challenges and Transformation in a High-Tech Era”, contributing PolyU’s perspectives on the future of higher education amid rapid technological change.
Prof. Zheng highlighted PolyU’s commitment to embracing AI transformation across education and research. The University has established the PolyU Academy for Interdisciplinary Research (PAIR) and the PolyU Academy for Artificial Intelligence (PAAI), bringing together interdisciplinary expertise to advance research in frontier technologies.
Addressing the longstanding gap between universities and industry, PolyU is also planning to establish a School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship to strengthen the talent pipeline for innovation and technology and nurture innovators and entrepreneurs. Through working groups, seminars and exchanges, closer communication between academia and industry will deepen mutual understanding and help bridge research with real-world needs.
“Innovation will be an essential element for all our students and faculty members in the future”, Prof Zheng emphasised.
Prof. Shengwei Wang, Director of the Research Institute for Smart Energy (RISE) and Chair Professor of Building Energy and Automation, joined another panel “Smart Energy Systems and Sustainable Cities”, sharing how flexible and smart energy management in buildings can facilitate renewable energy use and enhance the efficiency and reliability of urban energy systems.
“Future buildings need to be flexible and adaptive. Our solutions do not necessarily have to be expensive, but they have to be smart,” Prof. Wang said.
Through these high-level exchanges with industry and institutional leaders, PolyU showcased its expertise in knowledge transfer, innovation and smart energy, while fostering cross-sector dialogue and exploring practical approaches towards a more resilient and sustainable future.
