"No matter how intensive the competition is, innovative products can find their position in the global market. China should play a leading role in innovation worldwide." Premier Wen Jiabao, Guangzhou, April 2009.

"The global recession has served as a harsh but necessary reminder about the importance of innovation in driving economic growth. In that context, the next stage should be for us to consider how international collaboration in this area can serve our national interests." Lord Drayson, Minister for Science & Innovation, Scientific-Economic Research Union Conference, Berlin, May 2009.

"As we enter a new era of innovation driven by the rapidly expanding low-carbon economy, we must ensure that UK companies benefit and develop overseas markets." Lord Mandelson, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, Beijing, September 2009

  
 
  • Organised by the China-Britain Business Council (CBBC) and with the support of the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills Global Partnership Programme, the ‘China Tomorrow’ initiative helps UK & Chinese organisations to work together on a wide range of innovation & technology projects - and to commercialise the outputs. The initiative was formally announced at the UK-China Business Summit with China’s Premier, Wen Jiabao, in London on 2nd February 2009.


  • China Tomorrow promotes opportunities for technology transfer and joint technology development between UK and Chinese enterprises and research organisations at a national and regional level by:

            - Raising interest.
            - Increasing awareness on how to collaborate successfully on technology development / technology transfer and innovation – for example, by               showcasing existing collaborations.
            - Increasing the capabilities of UK companies to work jointly with Chinese partners.

  • The aim of the initiative is to develop & grow profitable, sustainable business for the economic benefit of both countries – something that is of increasing importance in the current economic climate.


  • As the UK & China look for their industries to move up the value chain, China Tomorrow helps provide the opportunity for increased engagement and cooperation at an important time for both countries.
