Bilateral collaborations
The innovation centre helps Danish companies and researchers navigate in China and opens doors for research and business opportunities. Shanghai is the Asian center within research and innovation. China is currently investing large amounts of money in research, innovation and businesses.
Denmark and China have a bilateral collaboration agreement on research and development. To ensure the best possible implementation of this agreement, a Danish-Chinese steering committee has been established.
The purview of the steering committee is to monitor the development in the knowledge cooperation between Denmark and China and to advise the responsible ministers in both countries on the possibilities for strengthening this cooperation.
The bilateral agreements between the Ministry of Higher Education and Science and Chinese actors are negotiated through the innovation attaché.
