UNSW Sydney and Hangzhou Cables formalised a new agreement during the University's Torch Innovation Week, a showcase of Australian and Chinese partnerships.
New types of touchscreens that would be very robust but also sensitive enough to detect ten fingers at once are to be developed in a research partnership between UNSW Science and Chinese company WeTouch.
The UNSW Torch Innovation Precinct, the first outside China, has the potential to put UNSW at the centre of a global innovation drive and help reset Australia’s relationship with its largest trading partner.
