KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 (Bernama) -- The China-ASEAN Technology Transfer Alliance (CATTA) has been officially established and will join hands with China's provincial and municipal innovation institutions with strong scientific and technological innovation capabilities and pooled resources to more effectively meet the innovation needs of ASEAN nations.
The launch of the special action for technology transfer between China and ASEAN was announced at the 10th Forum on China-ASEAN Technology Transfer and Collaborative Innovation, an important high-level forum under the framework of China-ASEAN Expo, held recently in Nanning, Guangxi.
The announcement coincided with the inaugural year of the China-ASEAN comprehensive strategic partnership. CATTA is the first cooperation mechanism of technology transfer for ASEAN in China, involving 1,000 advanced and applicable technologies in sustainable fields selected nationwide and uniformly introduced to ASEAN nations.
According to a statement, Guangxi has fully played its role over the last few years as an important gateway for China's opening up and cooperation with ASEAN members, including always taking ASEAN as the priority direction of overseas science and technology collaboration.
The province has carried out fruitful exchange and collaboration activities with the ASEAN member countries in manifold fields, including exchanges of science and technology and humanity, technology transfer, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Currently, Guangxi has set up bilateral governmental technology transfer mechanisms with nine ASEAN countries (including Thailand and Cambodia), and formed joint working groups on technology transfer with seven ASEAN members.
It has also built a China-ASEAN technology transfer collaboration network of over 2,600 members, covering 10 ASEAN nations and some "Belt and Road" countries, according to the Department of Science and Technology of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
As of May 2022, Guangxi has organised over 140 science and technology innovation and technology transfer activities for ASEAN at home and abroad, nearly one-third of which were held in ASEAN nations, covering more than 7,800 projects, and serving over 9,900 enterprises.
