Shou Ziqi, Director of Shanghai Science Committee, said, "The World Expo is a place for practice. It provides opportunities for the application of new technologies, and after that we can further improve the technologies to put them into use sooner, and better."

Some companies have already spread the usage of the LED lighting system from critical sight-viewing to civilian use.

Tourists can see 232 critical projects at this year's World Expo and around 1,100 scientific achievements boasting self-owned intellectual property rights. Organizers say that technologies like solar power systems and electronic labels will become more widely known, and applied, in the wake of the expo.
