Report Launch Event: China's innovation ecosystem: right for many but not for all

After decades of being able to take technological cooperation with China at corporate, academic, and political levels for granted, the last few years have seen a shift towards more critical viewpoints of such engagement in the capitals of liberal market democracies. As technology becomes an increasingly central point of friction between Europe and China, it is imperative to hone a sharp-eyed understanding of the role that European companies play in China’s innovation ecosystem.

Based on a survey among EUCCC members, the report aims at contributing to fill in this knowledge gap and map out examples of research and development (R&D) footprints that European companies have in the Chinese market, as well as implications for the business community and policymakers.
