The conference is jointly organized by Hangzhou Municipal Government, Zhejiang University of Technology, Zhejiang Small & Medium Enterprises Bureau, and World Association of Industrial & Technological Research organizations. Many organizations and universities such as Marquette University, University of Akron and Texas Tech University are among the institutional sponsors of the conference.
