SHANGHAI, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On October 26, the World Top-performing Incubator
Conference 2026 officially opened at the Lingang Center. Themed "AI-Driven • Innovation
Incubates the Future", this year’s conference has joined hands strategically with
the World Laureates Forum for the first time, holding its sessions in the same week.
Together they have built a full-chain acceleration mechanism vertically linking "
scientific discovery–technology transformation–industrial incubation", seeking to
answer the defining question of our era: how to move from the "first kilometer" 
to the "last kilometer".

As China’s benchmark international event dedicated to deep-tech incubation, the 
World Top-performing Incubator Conference 2026 will be held from October 26 to 28,
followed on October 31 by a deep-tech transformation forum staged in conjunction
with the World Laureates Forum. The events will focus on achieving an institutional
coupling between the original innovation capacity of top-tier scientists and the
transformation capacity of top-class incubators, promoting the efficient implementation
and transformation of cutting-edge scientific achievements, and connecting the innovation
chain that runs from basic research to industrial application.

At the opening ceremony, a signing session was held for WLF & WTIC strategic cooperation,
with Shanghai Technology Business Incubation Association (STBIA) and World Laureates
Foundation (WLF) signing a strategic cooperation agreement.

At the forum, the "2026 Shanghai Incubator Ecosystem White Paper" is released, providing
a systematic overview of the status quo and future trends of incubator development
in Shanghai.

Building on three years of accumulated experience, the World Top-performing Incubator
Conference has achieved a cumulative total exposure of over 21 million views, covered
more than 50 countries and regions, and attracted over 200 speakers (including more
than 70 international guests), continuing to serve as a "connector of global incubators
and catalyst for innovation ecosystems". Moving from a "discussion-based platform"
to a "symbiotic network", and from a one-off event to a regular mechanism, this 
year’s conference takes the dual-wheel drive of "WLF + WTIC" as its core propeller,
enabling original innovation to advance more rapidly into the main arena of economic
development, bringing global wisdom together in Lingang, landing cutting-edge achievements
in the Special Area, and delivering China’s incubation model to the world, thereby
continuously injecting strategic momentum into Shanghai’s efforts to build a globally
influential center for science and technology innovation and into the Lingang Special
Area’s efforts to create a high-caliber offshore innovation base with global resource
allocation capabilities.
