The mapping has been made for Innovation Centre Denmark, Shanghai by the consultancy company Kairos Future. The purpose of this mapping is to provide you with an overview of the R&D development in China. The mapping is not only targeted the stakeholders within the innovation networks but also research institutions, companies and other relevant actors. The mapping aims to inspire Danish Innovation networks, research institutions and companies to open their eyes to the many opportunities of collaboration with relevant stakeholders in China. Furthermore, the mapping will give you a glimpse of the rapid R&D/innovation development in China in the recent years and an introduction to the significant policy initiatives that are expected to become strong R&D tendencies in the years to come. It is recommended to use the mapping as a “Guide” which consists of an introduction providing an overview of the methodology used, political/societal contexts in China, and finally an organized list of data for each of the 22 specific sectors corresponding to the Danish Innovation Networks. It might not be of one’s interests to go through these data and analysis for all sectors, therefore you are more than welcome to just read though the specific area of your interest. Innovation Centre Denmark in Shanghai will use this mapping actively as a tool to start a dialogue with the Danish Innovation Networks, researchers and companies on further collaboration. Yours sincerely, Nina Hassel Innovation Attaché Innovation Centre Denmark, Shanghai Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation 3 Contents 1.
