SIP Suzhou Industrial Park delegation's visit

International Connections at Technopark

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a high-level delegation from Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) in the Chinese province of Jiangsu.

The visit focused on professional exchange and potential collaborations in Deep Tech, robotics, and space technologies. Particular attention was given to investment opportunities and market entry into China for European startups and scaleups.

Exchange with Investors and Startups

Following presentations from both sides, an in-depth discussion took place on investment, expansion, and the conditions for entering the Chinese market. During a subsequent tour, the delegation gained direct insights into selected companies and technologies from our startup ecosystem.

About Suzhou Industrial Park

The delegation was particularly interested in startups and scaleups considering expansion into China and potentially establishing a subsidiary in SIP.

New Perspectives

The visit highlighted the importance of international connections for startups - not only for financing, but also for access to new markets, partners, and networks.

We thank the delegation from Suzhou, all participating startups, and our partners for the open and valuable exchange. The connections and ideas generated during the visit provide a strong foundation for further discussions and potential collaboration between Switzerland and China.
