The third direction is practical application in society. "Some works on display have already attracted collaborations with design institutes and tech companies. The exhibition is not only a showcase of achievements but also an accelerator for translating ideas from academia into practice."

Alongside the curated exhibition, the competition section presents over 1,000 outstanding entries from the International Olympiad ArtScience Contest. These span digital generative art, light-tech 3D handcrafts, digital media and video, interactive design across online and offline platforms, painting, printmaking, and intangible cultural heritage projects.

On the technology side, categories include robotics, drones, AI, 3D printing and intelligent fabrication, as well as programming and algorithm-based works.
