A total of 21 major scientific and technological breakthroughs were unveiled at a special press conference of the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum (ZGC Forum) Annual Conference on Sunday, the closing day of the event.
Among the achievements is the High Energy Photon Source, China's flagship synchrotron radiation facility, which is now in trial operations. It marks the country's entry into the high-energy "4.0 era" of synchrotron radiation and a shift from a follower to a leader in the field.
A system known as the "Tongzhi Brain" was also introduced, equipping robots with a general-purpose decision-making center and advancing the large-scale application of embodied artificial intelligence.
Notably, China's first shoulder joint replacement surgical robot has been put into routine use for remote operations at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. Specialists in Beijing can plan procedures remotely, while real-time data transmission enables the robot to carry out precise surgeries in other locations.
In addition, policies and reports were released on the closing day, including one on promoting the development and application of commercial insurance for intelligent connected new energy vehicles (NEVs). Key cooperation agreements were also signed.
Themed "Full Integration Between Technological and Industrial Innovation," the 2026 ZGC Forum Annual Conference, was held in Beijing from Wednesday to Sunday, attracting thousands of participants from more than 100 countries and regions across the world to explore the latest trends in China's technological development.
The forum featured a total of 115 events across five sections, including forum conferences, achievement releases, technology trade fairs, frontier competitions and supporting events.

Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh met with Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese foreign minister, in Ulan Bator on Saturday.
During the meeting, Khurelsukh said the Mongolia-China relationship has become a model for inter-state relations in the region.
The two countries have consistently respected each other's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, while deepening mutually beneficial cooperation across various sectors, he said, noting that bilateral trade is expected to reach 20 billion U.S. dollars this year.
Describing China as Mongolia's good neighbor, Khurelsukh said that developing friendly relations with China is a top priority of Mongolia's foreign policy.
Khurelsukh said Mongolia is committed to the one-China principle, regarding Taiwan as an inalienable part of China's territory, and opposes any form of "Taiwan independence" activities. It also considers matters related to Hong Kong, Xizang and Xinjiang as China's internal affairs. Mongolia will not do anything that harms China's interests, regardless of its relations with other countries.
He also noted that Mongolia is willing to strengthen cooperation with China in regional and international affairs.
For his part, Wang said China has always put China-Mongolia relations at an important place in its neighborhood diplomacy, noting that China has both the will and the capability to be a neighbor that Mongolia can rely on, a trustworthy friend, and a partner in accelerating its development.
Wang reaffirmed China's respect for Mongolia's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the development path that Mongolia has chosen for itself.
He expressed readiness to work more closely with Mongolia to align development strategies, tap into the full potential of bilateral cooperation, advance existing collaboration in areas such as connectivity, energy and mineral resources, trade and investment, and create new growth drivers for cooperation in key minerals, green development, the digital economy, and other emerging fields.
During his three-day visit, Wang is also scheduled to meet with Mongolian Prime Minister Nyam-Osor Uchral and hold talks with Foreign Minister Batmunkh Battsetseg.
