The conference will offer an attractive mix of

Site visits to leading knowledge providers and technology transfer organizations
The association’s annual business meetings
Plenary session on international trends in innovation and product design
Parallel session on collaboration between China and the EU
Parallel session on good practice and standards in international technology transfer
Preparatory meeting for the forthcoming EU Mission for Growth to China in July 2013

We are planning the event in collaboration with the Enterprise Europe Network so that the audience can also benefit from the first-hand experience of network members doing technology transfer business between Europe and China. Global competition, R&D dispersal and low cost manufacturing have created a huge demand for design and creativity. This theme will be highlighted by speakers from leading companies and institutions in the plenary session of the conference. Expert presentations, formal seminars and informal workshops will address specialist topics relevant to the process of technology transfer and high tech trade. Each session will include speakers and presenters from Europe and China.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

The call for contributions is now closed, but we still have a number of speaking slots available in the sessions concerning

Open Innovation

Interested presenters should contact the TII Secretary General Christine Robinson at tii@tii.org without delay.
