On the morning of March 31, Luo Dajin, chairman of the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality (STCSM), met with Prof. Dr. Bertram Lohmuelle, director of Steinbeis Global Institute Tübingen (SGIT), and his colleagues.

Luo talked about Shanghai’s endeavors to build itself into a globally influential sci-tech innovation center, and highlighted the city’s incentive measures to encourage local universities, institutes, and enterprises to make more innovations in key areas, such as integrated circuit, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, and green technologies. He welcomed Steinbeis, a world-renowned German technology transfer company, to land in Shanghai, and hoped that Shanghai and Steinbeis would deepen their pragmatic cooperation in coordinated innovation, startup incubation, and fostering of technology transfer professionals, so as to jointly builda global innovation cooperation network.
