Chinese and U.S. speakers representing governments, companies, investors, and academia are gathering for the 2010 Michigan-China Clean Tech Symposium on Friday, December 10, 2010 in the University of Michigan Ballroom.
With a view to markets, technology development, and public policies, this symposium is designed to help technology companies, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and investors understand:
- Business development and entrepreneurship opportunities in China for Michigan firms
- Chinese overseas clean tech investment priorities
- Clean tech research, development and incubation partnerships between Michigan and China
- Best practices and challenges in tech transfer and manufacturing in China
- Public policies, government programs and legal issues at the national and local levels in both China and the US that support or constrain clean tech investment, production and market adoption
Michigan and China see the production and use of clean technology as key economic drivers. Public and private-sector delegations frequently travel between Michigan and China to explore manufacturing opportunities, technology transfer and potential investments. Michigan's hope to position itself at the center of U.S. clean tech research and manufacturing is either bolstered by Chinese investment, cheap manufacturing capacity and domestic demand, or threatened by price competition from Chinese firms.
