CHITEC: four highlights

Highlighting the Theme of Coping with the Crisis

      Focusing on strategies for coping with the international financial crisis, the CHITEC keynote session and its speeches, forums and conferences all have targeted themes. Senior officials of international organizations and two Nobel Prize winners in economics will deliver speeches focusing on scientific and technological progress and business cycles, the effectiveness of government intervention in the financial crisis, technological innovation and the growth of small- and medium-sized enterprises.

      CHITEC forums will explore the development of high-tech industries in the context of the financial crisis. The China Financial Summit will focus on financial innovation and financial security, highlighting issues such as the effects of the financial crisis on China’s finance industry, trends and strategies for listing high-tech enterprises on the world’s stock markets, private equity investments and the construction of regional financial ecologies. The China International Forum on the Development of High-Tech Enterprises will explore issues such as corporate responsibility in light of the financial crisis, enhancing the abilities of enterprises to develop independent innovations and strengthening the technical transformation of high-tech enterprises.

      Hosted on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC, CHITEC will prominently display the top achievements in China’s scientific and technological development, especially in independent innovation.

      The Beijing Science and Technology Commission will hold an Exhibition of Beijing’s Achievements in Scientific and Technological Innovation during the 60 years since the founding of New China, which will display Beijing’s fruitful results in independent innovation and in scientific and technological development.

      The Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park, which has attended CHITEC for ten years in a row, will be present at this year’s event touting a brand-new image, as a national demonstration zone for independent innovation approved by the State Council. During this year’s event, more than 150 resident companies in the park will showcase as many as 1,000 high-tech products in an exhibition area of more than 3,200 square metres.

      With the idea of promoting the industrialization of the fruits of successful scientific and technological endeavours, CHITEC economic and trade negotiations will highlight the complements of technology and industry. It will invite people from abroad to explain their procurement policies and what it takes to participate in foreign materials purchasing programmes. In addition, provincial and municipal policies will be outlined so businesses and investors can organize the assumption of major high-tech projects.

Strengthen Innovation and Effectiveness

      One emphasis of the 12th CHITEC is on strengthening innovation and emphasizing practical results. Five forums and conferences will include new themes and contents. The High-Level Forum on China’s Energy Strategy, while discussing such hot topics as international oil-price volatility and energy strategies, low-carbon economies and structural adjustments, clean electricity and coordinated development, will invite groups involved in the procurement of oil equipment from Russia and Iran to carry out exchanges and negotiations with Chinese enterprises on oil-related material and equipment procurement demands.

      Economic and trade talks at CHITEC will include links to project development and promotions and a discussion of investment environments and trade negotiations. In the overall layout of activities, we have strengthened interactions among exhibitions, forums, trade talks, online virtual exhibition halls and the keynote speech session, linking them closely through the theme “scientific and technological innovation leading development.” In this manner CHITEC will improve and deepen interactions and exchanges of information.

      The event will arrange for central ministries, enterprises and institutions of higher learning in Beijing to introduce major high-tech investment projects and to conduct business negotiations via the CHITEC platform.

      During the Sharing Opportunities in London Olympic Games promotion, the London Development Agency and Board of Investment will discuss trade and investment opportunities made possible by the 2012 Olympic Games in London, including investment rules, bidding procedures and the specific participatory methods so as to allow Chinese enterprises to participate in London Olympics materials procurement bidding, and to help people around the world better understand how they might benefit from scientific and technological achievements that led to the success of the Beijing Olympic Games.

      With entering the US government procurement market to show Chinese brands” promotion, the US Federal Procurement Authority will explain US Government procurement policies for federal procurement projects.
