The Catalysts Role of NECINA in the Era of Global Innovation
China's
R&D spending is climbing up to be the number two in the world.
What are the main drivers of technological innovation in China? What are
the key features of China's "national system of innovation?" What are
the chief "promotion" mechanisms? How can NECINA members play the key
role to involve in China's big 12-5 technology plan? How do we ride on
the wave of economic shift in China and its increasingly visible
strategic strength in today's world economy?
If you ever care about the answers to these questions, please join us in the NECINA annual meeting!
In
this conference, you will get valuable information from the high
ranking government representatives of People's Republic of China, and
