China and Switzerland cooperated to establish an ecological industrial Park which will be
built with Swiss Cleantech Know-how and will host industrial companies from all over the
world in addition to Swiss and Chinese companies. Only two years after the cooperation
work started, a first imposing compound has already been inaugurated.
Switzerland stands out due to its important number of innovative companies. At the same time, the
need for sustainable technology is increasing among emerging markets such as China. Since this
specific expertise still features big potential for further developments, many export possibilities
arise for Swiss companies. In this context, the Swiss Federal Counsellor Johann SchneiderAmmann and the Chinese Minister of Economy CHEN Deming signed on the 9th of July, 2012 a
Memorandum of Understanding in order to commonly support the creation of a Sino-Swiss
Ecological Industrial Park.
