Given that in the last two years, China’s 13th 5-Year Plan was adopted, ‘Made in China 2025’ promoted, the High & New Technology Enterprise Regulations substantially amended, and an entirely new IP-Courts system implemented, and that the next two years will see far reaching amendments to both China’s Patent Law (the much heralded ‘4th Amendment’) and Employee-Inventor Remuneration Regulations, speaking of the “new normal” for China, most definitely does not apply to changes to the Framework for IP nor for Innovation.

We will be welcoming Dr. Gernot Klotz who is coming all the way from Europe to provide us with his insights on Public-Private Cooperation as a Driver to Create New Innovation Opportunities. Europe is excellent in creating knowledge and intellectual property. It is however weak vis-a-vis it´s global competitors in turning this knowledge into value within the increasingly short time-span. A short presentation will be given on how Europe is responding to this paradox with innovative initiatives and strategic approaches on research and innovation.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as a dynamic global network infrastructure with self-configuring capabilities based on standard and interoperable communication protocols where physical and virtual “things” have identities, physical attributes and virtual personalities, use intelligent interfaces and are seamlessly integrated into the information network. IoT has moved from being a futuristic vision to an increasing market reality both in China and Europe. In this context, the EUCTP II will contribute to a three day event dedicated to EU-China IoT cooperation in Beijing from 31 August until 02 September 2015. This activity will have the support of market stakeholders to sketch recommendations for a joint action plan. Following the first two conferences organized in October 2014 and April 2015 in Shanghai and Lyon, the exchanges will provide important input for the EU-China Information Technologies, Telecommunications and Informatisation Dialogue. Priority themes to be addressed will include IoT global opportunities as identified in the context of eHealth, smart cities, and industrial IoT applications under the topic Industry 4.0.
