The 51st Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions concluded on the 15th in Geneva, Switzerland, with the Chinese delegation winning 90 gold, 95 silver and 52 bronze medals, Xinhua News Agency reported.

This year, the Chinese delegation exhibited a total of 237 invention projects, focusing on areas such as environmental protection, renewable energy, electronics, medicine, architecture, and transportation, showcasing new trends and features in the industry.

The gold-winning projects of the Chinese delegation span multiple fields. Among them, a device for recovering and utilising kinetic energy from non-automotive sources, invented by teachers and students at a middle school in Guangzhou, recovers kinetic energy during downhill and level terrain travel and converts it into electricity for storage and use. Additionally, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based power supply safety warning system intelligently identifies the extreme fluctuation characteristics of wind and solar power generation, significantly enhancing the power grid's adaptability to a high proportion of renewable energy and improving the level of safety prediction and control.

Lin Songtao, China's representative at the Geneva International Invention Exhibition, stated, "This year's Chinese delegation's invention projects have achieved a remarkable improvement in the quality of innovation, presenting a two-pronged approach of 'AI supporting all industries' and 'emphasising life and health.'

The exhibition was held over five days, featuring more than 1,000 invention projects from 35 countries and regions, showcasing innovative achievements across various fields and industries. (Edited by KN)
