Isis Innovation, the tech transfer unit for Oxford University, has created a business incubator for companies keen to establish a presence in China.
The 10,000m2 Jinhui International Technology Transfer Centre, based in Liuzhou, will provide services such as business setup, recruitment, and fundraising for up to 100 firms in sectors such as automotive, materials, agriculture, and software.
David Baghurst, head of Isis Enterprise Asia and Jinhui project lead, said: “Many overseas companies focus their Chinese expansion aspirations on the megacities of Shanghai, Beijing and the Pearl River Delta region. However, other excellent opportunities exist inland where many local governments are focusing efforts on establishing innovative technology companies. With our team’s experience in growing businesses in China, we are creating the ideal long-term environment for company development. We are keen to talk to innovators keen to start their China journey with support from the Isis international teams based in the UK, Hong Kong and Liuzhou.”
