Advanced manufacturing and factory automation
Digital twins for industry, infrastructure or early warning
Agtech and environmental technology
Innovative and advanced materials
Smart mobility, logistics and low-altitude economy
Virtual worlds and metaverse applications

What we bring to the consortium:

Ground-level intelligence on Chinese industrial and technological ecosystems, built from 14 years of permanent presence in Hangzhou, China
Competitive benchmarking China vs. Europe for state-of-the-art sections
Supplier and partner scouting in China
Operational bridge-building between European and Chinese actors
Outputs in English and Spanish

We are open to discussing how our China expertise can strengthen your proposal. Contact us to explore fit.
