Webinar: EU-China Forum on Innovation

The EU-China Business Association has the pleasure to invite you to the EU-China Innovation Forum, which will take place on July 15, 2021 from 10h00 am to 11h00 am CET.

The EU and China are putting in place strategies to support economic recovery as a direct response to Covid-19. One of the ways to support economic recovery is by building stronger innovative eco-systems. But creating more innovative economies requires the implementation of more dynamic partnerships between the public, private and educational stakeholders. This webinar is looking at ways as to how China and the EU can work together to deliver more innovative economies – thus supporting more growth and better competitiveness.
