BACKGROUND

In recent years, China has made significant efforts to promote sustainable development and environment-friendly technologies. From 2016 to 2020, the country doubled its investment in clean energy research, and strongly promoted a human-centred, smart approach of ?new-type urbanisation?. In China, many industries and sectors are developing very rapidly, including digital technologies, green technologies for sustainable cities, green energy, smart transport and services, financial services, medical technologies, and elderly care.

In 2020, China finally pledged to reach carbon emissions by 2030 and to become carbon neutral by 2060. The process will inevitably result in further investment and opening-up in the green sector, thus presenting potential opportunities for EU businesses in China.

OBJECTIVES

Synergized with EU SME Centre in China, this training session provides the participants with an overview of the key elements and main directions of China?s green transition efforts, particularly focusing on the areas of interest for EU businesses. It will also provide an overview of the main market entry strategies that the European business ?in particular SMEs ? can pursue in China, including associated risks.

Background

Europe has experienced four industrial revolutions, each of which involved technology and innovation. The
undergoing industry 4.0 (initiated in Germany in 2011) associated with key technologies such as the Internet
of Things (IoT), robotics, nanotechnology, quantum computing, biotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI)
is affecting a wide range of sectors. In 2021, the European Commission called for the Fifth Industrial
Revolution (Industry 5.0), which aims beyond efficiency and productivity for research and innovation-driven
transition to a sustainable, human-centric and resilient European industry. It places the production limits of
the planet and the well-being of the worker at the centre of the production process and integrates social
and environmental priorities into technological innovation to provide resilient prosperity beyond GDP
initiative.

In 2021, China?s 14th Five-Year Plan marks a shift towards ?innovation-driven development? and promotes
“entrepreneurship and innovation among all the people”. The investment in technology and R&D has
recently been at a record high. The patented technology is increasing. National and local policies support
technology transfer in industry, which drives socio-economic development. China´s `30-60 goals´, which
target on carbon peak in 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, lead to an opening market and huge
investment in the green tech and sustainability sector. The `innovation-driven strategy ?and `Made in China
2025´ get a boost from the green transition in China and provide cooperation opportunities for EU cities
and regions in China.

The webinar is organized as a part of the IURC China thematic cluster working session, aiming to share how
cities and regions achieve green and digital transformation in technology, industry and innovation, and
discuss how EU-China cooperation can help them to reach the goals.

OBJECTIVES

Through deep multilateral discussion, this thematic webinar seeks to showcase challenges and solutions of
technology, industry and digital Economy in enhancing green development, social inclusion and innovation
in IURC pilot cities & regions and offer them a framework to:

1. Share perspectives, policy initiatives, and best practices
2. Identify potential common projects and relevant stakeholders to address the transition to a green
and digital economy.

PARTICIPANTS

This webinar will take place among?

1) stakeholders from IURC China pilot cities and regions in the thematic group of Technologies 4.0,
Industry 5.0 & innovation;
