Recently, Nanjing officially launched the application of 2020 Nanjing International Science and Technology Cooperation Project to support enterprises in Nanjing to learn from the countries or regions with strong technological innovation capabilities, introduce and innovate internationally leading technological achievements of Nanjing’s “4+4+1” leading industries, and jointly carry out technological development and technical services. 

Since the beginning of this year, Nanjing has strengthened the support and guidance of the open innovation policy, including policy support for the construction of high-end R&D institutions, international joint R&D programs, and international technology transfer awards for “bringing in”, as well as the construction of corporate overseas R&D institutions for “going out” , the “Belt and Road” innovation cooperation plan, and awards for the construction of overseas collaborative innovation centers, all of which have further expanded Nanjing’s innovative “circle of friends”. 

Nanjing also sets up the “Belt and Road” technological innovation cooperation plan for the first time this year, mainly supporting enterprises in Nanjing to carry out multinational joint R&D, technology transfer and transformation, collaborative research on key industrial technologies, and demonstration of application of sci-tech achievements to countries along the “Belt and Road”, so as to further achieve mutual benefits and win-win results. In terms of innovation and internationalization, Nanjing will also support the construction of international industrial cooperation zones and the visiting abroad with the aim of “rooting”. At the same time, it will conduct performance evaluations on overseas collaborative innovation centers and international technology transfer service institutions, and give certain performance rewards to institutions with excellent evaluation results.
