Topic: Connectivity for innovation: the Sino-Swiss dimension
As the slowdown of the global economy is accentuating, identifying and promoting sustainable development engines has become a global challenge. Innovation has been deemed a key factor in overcoming the national and global growth crunch. Shaping Asia’s growth pattern, China’s has made a strategic choice to enable innovation-driven growth through connectivity – in infrastructural, technological and financial dimensions. On an unprecedented level the One Belt One Road initiative aims at boosting infrastructure connectivity in the vast region between China and Europe. Switzerland – who persistently ranks as leader in innovation worldwide – has been a pioneer in accompanying China onto the world stage in signing an FTA with China as first European country, establishing an RMB offshore trading hub in Zurich and by becoming one of the first non-Asian members of the China led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Upon signing the FTA Prime Minister Li Keqiang declared ‘Innovation is the lifeblood of mankind’. A focus lies i.e. on the development of R&D investments in both countries as companies continue to shift their focus from searching for a low cost production base to an increasingly higher demand for brain power. In combination with a rapidly developing ecosystem, it is expected that more innovation will be coming out of China in the near future.

The panel will examine this unique partnership, looking into how the two countries could create value for those relying on innovation like investors, entrepreneurs or large companies by targeting key questions for anyone involved in the creation of intangible assets, such as facilitating access to talents & capital and IPR.
