In recent years, innovation has been one of the most used terms in the circle of Chinese policy makers, the reason being that in such a fast-speed environment, innovative ideas are key to unlock China’s development and strengthen its global competitiveness. For that reason, China has signed co-funding deals and rolled out policies to encourage the start-up scene in their market, especially focusing on financing new ideas and innovations in China. The most prominent funding and programs include are the ‘EU-China Co-Funding Mechanism’, the ‘National Natural Science Fund’, the ‘Bases and Talents Program’, ‘The Medium to Long-Term Plan for the Development of Science and Technology (2006-2020)’, etc. To be able to succeed in this huge but complicated market, a good understanding of the innovation landscape and its funding opportunities in China is essential.

The Chinese Water Market has been growing at huge growth rates for several years. Recently this has even been accelerated, not least due to substantially, increasing regulatory demands by the Chinese Government, a.o. following the launch of the Water Ten Action Plan. Accordingly, this market is considered to be one of the most important major markets to access for European Water Tech Companies, not only to gain market shares, but also to be closely connected to the strong, innovative momentum which is being released during these years in China. In the presentation, Henrik Dissing will provide insight into the development within key market segments.
