Technology transfer

The EURO-CHINA Centre for Economic and Technical Cooperation (ECV GmbH, Aachen of Germany) supports European companies and institutions in the transferring or in the selling of how-how, technology or research results to interested Chinese companies or institutions.

Technology transfer and technological cooperation with Chinese companies are an effective Chinese market entry strategy. In this way, European companies and institutions can get new chances in Chinese market.

On the one side the Chinese companies are at the moment in a stage of development, which occurred about 30 to 40 years ago in Europe. Most their technologies are not advanced in comparison to European companies. That means, the most European companies can make a large profit in China through technology transfer or technical cooperation, even with their „outdated“ (according to European standards) technology.

On the other hand, China is the best place to present and to apply the newest technology and products. Many new technologies can be developed and researched in the application in China. One example is the German Transrapid guideway in Shanghai, which is the single application of such technology in the world. The Chinese companies and authorities are friendly toward the new technology and in China there are not such industry lobbies jet, which could prevent the application of new technology because of their own interests.
