Pei Chun, a teacher at Fujian Medical University who comes from Taiwan, introduced his intelligent eldercare equipment at the event. He said the equipment has been used in five nursing homes and hopes to go into mass production.

In the past, there were a few such matchmaking events in Taiwan, and many teachers' scientific results had to be shelved, he said, adding that he believed their dreams can come true in Fujian.

The event was part of a series supported by the provincial government to introduce talent and boost cooperation by enterprises, universities and research institutes.
