Extended Reading

At present, Israel and China are accelerating their cooperation in science and technology innovation in a highly complementary manner, and it is important consensus between the leaders of the two countries to deepen innovative cooperations. TusHoldings and Israel's cooperation dates back to 2013: both parties executed the first project in Haifa, a northern city in Israel, and made friendly partnership. Since then, TusHoldings, Israeli government and leading enterprises have been actively interacting in respect of technological research and development, marketing, strategy development, technology transfer and other aspects. In the future, TusHoldings will eliminate the cross-border cooperation barriers between Chinese and Israeli technology-based enterprises, lead the joint establishment of cross-border science and technology parks, incubators, joint innovation platform, technology transfer center, Sino-Israel innovative fund, etc, through the unique ecological model of “dual parks in two countries” and cross-border investment fund, thereby promoting Sino-Israel collaborative innovation, and create a model of strategic cooperation along “the Belt and Road”.

In August 2014, Tsinghua University and Sichuan Province signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Chengdu. Acting as an important carrier for the implementation of cooperation between Tsinghua University and Sichuan Province, TusHoldings has actively promoted and intensified cooperation affairs between the two sides in scientific and technological innovation, achievement transformation, etc. In order to speed up the cooperation progress between local provincial government and the university, TusHoldings’ delegation led by Chairman Wang Jiwu and President Yuan Wei paid several visits to Sichuan, and reached a number of cooperation consensus with local government and enterprises. Chengdu plays a pivotal role in China’s “Belt and Road” initiative, acting as a well-known landmark of “Innovation and Entrepreneurship” in China. Meanwhile, Chengdu plays an important role in cooperation between Israel and China; under the operating model of “dual parks in two countries” by TusHoldings, the Sino-Israel science park in China intends to be located in Longquanyi District, which is committed to creating a globally influential high-tech transfer platform.
