About this webinar

The Bristol and West of England China Bureau(WoECB) was delighted to invite members to participate in a webinar with the Shandong Municipal Government organised in partnership with Department of Science and Technology of Shandong Province, Chinese Academy of Sciences Industrial Technology Collaborative Innovation Centre and China-UK Spring City Talent Office.

The event provided a forum for West of England businesses to engage the Shandong Municipal Government on local policy relating to trade and investment as well as the cities’ talent program.

Atendees were invited to take part in a Q&A to ask questions about the local business environment to officials from the Shandong Municipal Government including Shandong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, Jinan City Science and Technology Bureau and Shandong Chinese Academy of Sciences Industrial Technology Collaborative Innovation Centre.

We hope this webinar is a catalyst event for ongoing co-operation with Shandong province and we will share opportunities for longer term engagement to explore commercial opportunities for Start Up and partnership collaboration with participants that are interested in this exciting region.
