The holding of Beijing International Technology Transfer Conference (ITTC) builds an important international platform for supporting Beijing’s “World City” and “City of Innovation” effort and has facilitated the landing of a series of major international technology transfer projects in Beijing. On the other hand, ITTC has played a significant role in moving nation-wide and worldwide technology transfer forward by attracting governmental agencies, hi-tech enterprises, research institutes and universities from nearly 20 provinces and regions. More than 4,000 representatives from over 40 foreign countries and 20 provinces/cities of China were present at the previous three ITTCs. Through the previous three ITTCs, over 500 cooperation intentions have been reached, and contracts of 60 projects worth over CNY 50 billion have been signed.
