Shenzhen's Nanshan Gathers Efforts for New Progress in
China-Germany Cooperation
An economic and trade delegation from Nanshan District Government
of Shenzhen has traveled to Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Munich, and other
cities in Germany for economic, trade, and cultural exchange
activities. The delegation intensively visited nearly 20 leading
multinational corporations and organizations to deepen the economic
and trade exchanges with old and new partners and enhance the
quality and level of trade and investment cooperation.
This epitomizes China seizing opportunities from the pursuit of
higher-standard opening up to facilitate China-Germany economic and
trade cooperation.
Nanshan, known as an economic and technological powerhouse in
China, has close exchanges and cooperation with Germany in economy,
science and technology, and culture, with a focus on advanced
medical devices, new energy, and other emerging fields. More than
50 German companies, including Siemens, Tektronix, Ledvance
Operations and Management, have invested in Nanshan, and
fifty-three competitive companies from Nanshan, including Mindray
Bio-Medical Electronics, Skyworth, Hytera, have extended their
investment to Germany. Industrial cooperation between Chinese and
German businesses is becoming a new hallmark of Nanshan's foreign
exchanges, which reflects the new trend in China where new quality
productive forces boost high-quality development and facilitate
industrial cooperation between China and other countries.
Ingmar Bruder, the founder, chairman, and CEO of trinamiX, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of BASF, said that the company is
intensifying its research and development (R&D) of visual
perception and biometrics technology and is looking forward to
introducing the technology to China with the help of Nanshan's
industrial advantages in artificial intelligence (AI) and
intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs).
During the visit of the delegation, relevant research institutes
and businesses from Nanshan District signed cooperation memorandums
with Innovation Lab Heidelberg and Siemens Healthineers,
respectively, on intensifying cooperation in scientific and
technological innovation, technology application, and personnel
training.
The relevant director of Innovation Lab Heidelberg
said that they will leverage Nanshan's advantages in the innovation
chain, capital chain, talent chain, and industrial chain, and
allocate research resources in life sciences, production processes,
clean energy, and other areas to the district in the future.
Eintracht Frankfurt, one of the world's most valuable clubs,
signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Nanshan in 2021.
Their cooperation has achieved fruitful results in the construction
of training centers, youth training systems, and popularization of
soccer, and has catalyzed cooperation between Nanshan and Germany
and other European countries in economy, culture, sports, trade,
and science and technology.
During the visit, the Nanshan delegation hosted a
cooperation session between Nanshan and Frankfurt at Eintracht
Frankfurt. At the event, businesses and organizations from Nanshan,
such as the Research Institute of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen,
VMAX, Tinno Mobile Technology, and iDreamSky, introduced their
cutting-edge technologies and products, which aroused keen interest
from many German companies including Deutsche Bank,
PricewaterhouseCoopers, Jarltech, and VR Payment. The participating
companies were impressed by Nanshan's technological innovation,
business environment, and openness.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the establishment of
the all-round strategic partnership between China and Germany.
Cooperation, exchanges, innovation, and development have
brought China and Germany together for more new progress. A
German-funded company said that Nanshan, a district driven by
strengthening global cooperation in emerging industries, coupled
with a fast-growing consumer market, a sound supply chain system,
an innovative R&D environment, and productive personnel
training, will bring a round of new opportunities for foreign
investment in China.
