Amid the growing enthusiasm in all sectors and units of the national economy for developing new technologies and products to take the lead in new technological fields, the advanced science and technology and products exhibition-2026 was recently held at the Grand People’s Study House.

Han Yong Jin, director of an institute of the Grand People’s Study House, said that the number of visitors to the exhibition is increasing year by year and that the venue of the recent exhibition was filled with over 2 300 sci-tech achievements and products that were highly appreciated at national sci-tech festivals, sectoral exhibitions and expos or recognized as advanced technologies in the relevant fields.

Visitors showed avid interest in the section of the State Academy of Sciences which presented well over a hundred kinds of valuable sci-tech achievements.

The reduced iron and synthetic fuel oil production technology based on coal gasification and the melamine monomer production technology are advanced sci-tech achievements which serve as firm foundations in developing the country’s economic infrastructure.

The research hits introduced into light industry factories in different parts of the country are all on a high level in advanced character and modernity. They included not only the Korean-style papermaking technology and the intelligent integrated production system of the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm, but also the soap and beer production processes, the establishment of the medical equipment protection and power monitoring system and the energy-saving sugar concentration technology.

Also eye-catching were the research findings that indicated an increasing competition for developing core technologies needed in the development and operation of a new energy industry, such as a hydrogen fuel cell and hydrogen generator.

Visitors favoured such highly practical sci-tech achievements as the gypsum-free cement production method, the technology for increasing cement production using nano-compound additives and the establishment of a tyre production process.  

Many visitors said that they were deeply impressed by the aspirations and efforts of scientists at the State Academy of Sciences to develop and create better and more advanced things with the nation’s own wisdom, technologies and resources.

The section where different kinds of IT products were displayed was crowded throughout the exhibition with people hoping for exchange of experience and technologies.

The IC card bracelets widely introduced to service units in the Wonsan Kalma Coastal Tourist Area drew much attention as they ensure rapid and secure implementation of financial services such as deposit, withdrawal and payment in a non-contact manner.

New models of mobile phones with a high signal strength, convenient operating environment and stable operating system, water-saving household washing machines and high-quality fans were highly appreciated by relevant experts.

Visitors lavished praise on the advanced sci-tech products at the booth of Kim Chaek University of Technology, which presented highly profitable proposals including a hybrid photovoltaic generating system and high polymer fur-preventing agent, and the booth of Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, which presented a communications device of great significance in informatization of coal mines.

The booths showing products conducive to the promotion of people’s health and environmental protection attracted constant attention.

The treatment devices using infrared ray and polarized light were designed to be used at home by anyone to treat various diseases with great efficiency.

An official of Sinuiju Teachers Training College, who built a high-concentration air anion generator, said that the exhibition which provided an arena for comprehensive exchange and transfer seemed to be an excellent school giving rich knowledge and expanding scientific horizons.

At the exhibition, certificates were awarded to highly rated units, technologies and products.
