At the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities (NGD) and the 9th National Special Olympic Games (NSOG) set to open on December 8th, a series of headline-making innovations will be showcased, including the smart stair-climbing electric wheelchair, smart bionic hand, mind-controlled wheelchair, exoskeleton rehabilitation robot, and AI-powered smart vision glasses for the visually impaired. In addition to these technologies, the smart standing wheelchair with integrated health monitoring will support athletes across multiple events, enabling seamless switching between sitting, semi-reclining, and upright postures.

At the 15th National Games, the extensive use of new materials highlighted Guangdong's leading industrial strength. These included the micro-nano passive radiative cooling paint developed by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology for volunteer service stations of the Games, and the award podiums in the Zhaoqing competition zone made of bamboo-plastic composite boards, a mixture of 60% Guangning bamboo fiber and recycled plastics. The material requires no adhesives, is moisture-resistant and durable, and can be fully recycled after the Games, making it an eco-friendly solution.

In addition, Guangdong has ranked first nationwide in the number of high-tech enterprises for nine consecutive years. The technological strengths of companies such as Huawei, China Southern Power Grid(CSG), and China's three major telecom operators in 5G-A, AI, and the Internet of Things have been rapidly transformed into smart services for sports events. Examples include CSG's integrated aerial-ground-tunnel unmanned inspection system and China Mobile Guangdong's "sports + metaverse" 3D virtual space. These applications demonstrate the deep integration of next-generation information technologies with sports technology.

The dazzling technological presence at this year's Games stems from Guangdong's strong innovation capacity, which has ranked first in China for nine consecutive years. It showcases the robust strength of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou innovation cluster, the world's top innovation hub, and highlights the strong momentum of coordinated innovation and shared progress across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

残特奥会将上新“广东造”智能轮椅！坐、半卧、直立可自由切换

在12月8日即将开幕的残特奥会上，除了前期特别关注的“智能爬楼梯电动轮椅”“智能仿生手”“智能脑控轮椅车”“外骨骼康复机器人”“AI视障眼镜”等一众明星产品之外，“智能健康监测站立轮椅”也将自由切换坐姿、半卧位、直立三种姿态，在残特奥会多项比赛中为运动健儿们助力。

十五运会中，大量新材料的深度应用，体现了广东在全国居前的产业地位，除了香港科技大学研发的微纳米级被动式制冷涂层应用于全运志愿者服务站，还有肇庆赛区使用的竹塑板材制成颁奖台，用60%的广宁竹纤维与回收塑料混合制成，不仅无需使用胶水，兼具防潮、耐用等优势，而且赛后可以完全回收、绿色环保。

此外，广东高新技术企业数量规模连续9年位居全国第一，华为、南方电网、三大电信运营商等企业在5G-A、AI、物联网等领域的技术积累，快速转化为体育赛事中的智慧服务能力，例如南方电网“空-地-隧”一体化无人巡检天团、广东移动“体育+元宇宙”3D虚拟空间等一系列新产品、新技术的应用，都体现了新一代信息技术产业与体育科技的深度融合。

这次“科技全运”的惊艳绽放，源于广东区域创新能力连续9年稳居全国第一的硬核底气，不仅彰显了“深圳—香港—广州”作为全球第一创新集群的硬核实力，更凸显了粤港澳大湾区协同创新、聚力共赢的澎湃活力。
