On the morning of August 29, the first list of Top 10 Cases of Collaborative Innovation by Shanghai-based Foreign-Invested Enterprises was announced at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Pujiang Innovation Forum – Global Tech-Matching Fair (InnoMatch EXPO). The Form is part of the “Foreign Invested R&D Centers in Shanghai” series premiered by STCSM in 2017. Through nearly 30 policy presentations, business matchmaking fairs, and thematic salons with over 1,000 participants, this series has helped foreign-invested enterprises better understand sci-tech innovation policies and plans, thus advancing collaborative innovation among the industry, universities, and research institutes. Furthermore, to better guide foreign-invested enterprises for high-level collaborative innovation with local institutions and to commend foreign-invested R&D centers involved deeply in building Shanghai into a sci-tech innovation center, a campaign was rolled out in 2021 to solicit collaborative innovation cases from them.

Ten foreign invested enterprises were rewarded as the 2021 top ten cases of collaborative cooperation upon a comprehensive evaluation of the strength, content, and effects of their collaborative innovation by experts in the fields of research, industry, policy, and think tanks. They are Siemens Ltd. China, bioMérieux (Shanghai) Company Limited, Dow Chemical China Investment Co Ltd., Unilever (China) Investment Co., Ltd., Bosch (China) Investment Ltd., Covestro (Shanghai) Investment Co., Ltd., BASF (China) Co., Ltd., Sanofi (China) Investment Co., Ltd., Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and Evonik Degussa (China) Investment Co.
