Representatives of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and Jiangsu Provincial Department of Science and Technology as well as leaders of the ministries of science and technology of 16 central and eastern European countries, such as Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia and Serbia, attended this conference. “The First Sino-CEEC Youth Entrepreneurship Forum”, an important element of this conference, was jointly organized by TusPark Jiangsu and Jiangsu Productivity Center (JSPC).

The 16 central and eastern European countries (CEECs) include Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Albania, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. These countries have solid economic foundation, rich natural resources and high scientific & technological and educational level. With a population of 1.3 billion, China has a huge market, a sound industrial system (especially equipment manufacturing) and sufficient funds. Therefore, China and CEECs can complement advantages of each other, build up industrial links, and achieve joint development. It is expected that the innovation cooperation between China and CEECs will become a new highlight of Sino-CEEC cooperation.
