Hubei leverages top-tier research platforms at institutions like Wuhan University of Technology and its deep industrial base to build strong advantages in optoelectronic information materials, metallurgical chemistry, and biomedical materials. At the expo, Hubei-based Dilon Holdings has fully mastered core CMP polishing pad technology, commanding nearly 80% of the domestic market; companies like Yangtze Optical Fibre and Xingfa Group lead in sub-sectors including optical fiber cable and electronic-grade chemicals.

Through the conference platform, multiple research projects have been precisely matched with industrial needs. Experts and enterprise representatives engaged in in-depth exchanges on technology breakthroughs, achievement transformation, and talent cultivation in the new materials field, contributing to the 'Materials Powerhouse' construction.
