After decades of discussion, Dr. Li Daxi thought that the combination of science and art is an important way to improve the innovation ability.

How to improve innovation? Dr. Li Daxi also put forward the importance of the makers in the speech, which is an important force to improve the national innovation ability so that innovation can become a faith. President Obama announced that June 18 was the Makers’ Day for the United States, and the government would try to help Americans from different backgrounds start up business, especially those who are committed to the revival of US manufacturing. In this regard, Dr. Li Daxi appealed that China should have our own Makers’ Day, and Shenzhen should launch its own Makers’ Day as well. China Hi-tech Fair should set up a Makers Gallery, and Shenzhen shall host a Makers Contest. Dr. Li Daxi believes that promoting China’s makers campaign can improve national innovation ability.
