Sino-Swiss Pitchinar – Venture Leaders China meet China’s innovative Guangdong Region
Venturelab joined forces with the Chinese Science and Technology Exchange Center (CSTEC) and the Guangdong region – China’s economically strongest region contributing around 11% of the total GDP and known for the innovation and technology hubs such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou – to build an exchange between the Venture Leaders China and the Chinese counterparts.
Over 2100 participants joined the online Sino-Swiss Pitchinar alongside our 10 Venture Leaders China, 10 promising Chinese Startups in the area of Biotech, Medtech, Agritech, Foodtech and Cleanteach as well as Investors and subject matter experts coming from institutions such as the South China University of Technology, Guangdong Medical Valley or Guangdong’s Pharmaceutical University.After the opening speeches by the Deputy Directors General from the Chinese Minsitry of Science and Technology, the China Science and Technology Exchange Center and the Guangdong Province Department of Science and Technology, Switzerland’s Consul General to Guanzhou welcomed both Swiss and Chinese Startups to “this exchange between Chinese and Swiss Companies to facilitate international expansion” in the 70th year of bilateral relations on innovation between China and Switzerland.
The Venture Leaders China pitched their innovative businesses to an interested and highly specialized expert panel and also learned about the participating Chinese startups and their innovative tech-solutions.
"With these virtual pitching events Venture Leaders is providing unique opportunities to showcase our technology and approaches to improve patients life’s to a huge number of potential Chinese partners. Elthera is looking forward to a lot of follow on contacts with interested Pharma partners and investors." - Dr. Anne Schmidt, CEO Elthera AG
"This is the second event we organize in collaboration with the Chinese Science and Technology Exchange Center (CSTEC) , this time with the Guangdong province, a hotspot of innovation in China . It offered again a great opportunity for the Venture Leaders China team to already get exposure and connections with Chinese partners and investors. We hope this will further contribute to partnerships such as the one our cleantech alumni TRS Solutions announced last week, who is today building its first JV in China." - Jordi Montserrat, Co-Founder and Managing Partner Venturelab
