II. The Characteristics of CHTF
First,
CHTF is a window into technologies and hi-tech products of China and
the world. At every CHTF, Chinese ministries, provinces, Hong Kong,
Macau, Taiwan, universities, as well as foreign delegations and renowned
enterprises from over 100 countries and regions would attend, bringing
with them the latest products and technologies. Specifically, Chinese
ministries, academies and institutes, national demonstration projects,
key national labs, research centers and industry alliances would
showcase major national science and tech projects and results; Chinese
provinces and municipalities would showcase their key technologies and
industries facilitated by local hi-tech zones, research centers and key
enterprises; prestigious Chinese universities would showcase their
research and progress in combining teaching, research and industry
application; foreign governments, industry organizations and
international businesses would showcase major cooperation projects in
science and tech as well as their latest technologies; a great number of
famous enterprises from home and abroad would bring their latest
products and technologies in the hi-tech field.
Second,
CHTF is a channel for advanced international tech and products into the
Chinese market. Chinese delegations at CHTF bring with them enormous
domestic demand from the government side, while influential media
coverage inform consumers of exhibitors and their products, these
factors combine to offer a channel for exhibitors to present themselves,
obtain business information, increase communication and facilitate
cooperation. For example, Brussels Invest & Export has joined CHTF
since 2007, showcasing hi-tech products of Belgium for eight years in a
row; the Walloon Region of Belgium, European countries and the EU also
enrolled many times in the past; through CHTF, GSK Belgium reached
agreements to establish joint-venture companies with Shenzhen Seaking
and Walvax respectively; the Russian Ministry of Education and Science
led top Russian enterprises, colleges and institutes to join CHTF for 15
years in a row, engaging in extensive cooperation in high-end
equipment, new materials, aviation and space technology, etc; the
Bavarian State of Germany organized local SMEs to come to CHTF for 15
years in a row, opening up the vast Chinese market; the Korean cities of
Incheon, Kwangyang and Daejeon sent delegations for 6 years in a row,
holding Chinese-Korean business seminars and signing deals; on the
corporate side, Microsoft, Intel, Simens, Dupont, Hitachi, Huawei, ZTE,
Tencent, BYD, BGI, and other multinationals debuted latest products and
technologies at CHTF.
Third,
CHTF is a platform for in-depth cooperation and exchanges in
international tech and economic affairs. With CHTF becoming more global
and its influence rising, more and more foreign governments, chambers of
commerce, industry organizations and other international associations
come to CHTF to seek cooperation with Chinese counterparts. The Galileo
Project of the European Community and the European Space Agency, as well
as the EU’s SPICE Project sought cooperation with Chinese entities
through CHTF; the EU’s Horizon 2020 Strategy launched at CHTF 2014,
opening up new opportunities for China-EU cooperation; a number of
events such as Creative UK, 2014 IEEE Global High Tech Congress on
Electronics, Seminar on Smart Cities in Canada, Science, Tech and
Innovation in Edinburgh, and Maker’s Night were held during CHTF.
Foreign government agencies promoted their economies at CHTF to attract
business and investment and gain access to the Chinese market. In this
regard, I’m very pleased to acknowledge Mr. Jean-Marc DELPORTE, Chairman
of the Management Committee of the Federal Public Service Economy, who
gave a speech at CHTF Forum 2014 and pushed for closer ties between CHTF
and Belgium.

IV. Appraisal of CHTF from the guests
Horst Stormer, scientist in Bell Laboratory of Lucent and a Nobel Prize Winner:
My
feeling is that, in regard of speed, no city in the US develops as fast
as Shenzhen. This time, I participated in the speech of CHTF. From the
viewpoint of a scientist, it is a good way to hold such hi-tech fair.
John Prescott, former deputy prime minister of the UK:
It
is not only the essence but also the future of China. As what I have
seen, China’s high and new technologies are developing rapidly.
Christopher St. John, senior vice president of US’s MSC Software Company:
Congratulations on the success of the unique CHTF, one of the biggest and most important fairs in this year.
Agnes Rousseau, director of Investment Division of Languedoc Montpellier, France:
The large-scaled CHTF has gathered many businessmen from the world and is of great significance.
John
Gibbons, scientific and technological advisor to Clinton, former US
President and director of Science and Technology Policy, the White
House:
CHTF
is a world-level grand fair and has played an important role in helping
the realization of development targets of the mankind by application of
high technologies.
James Morris, professor of Cambridge University of the UK and a Nobel Prize winner:
The
days I spend on CHTF 2002 Forums are worthwhile. On that CHTF, I got
the opportunities to communicate with the economists, government
officials and enterprises of China and learnt a lot from them. The
economy of Shenzhen is extraordinary and unparalleled and makes all
economists fascinating. I wish I could visit Shenzhen again.
