On May 29, the “2020 China-UK Offshore Technology Collaboration Online Promotion Conference & Tus-Aero Unveiling Ceremony” was officially held in Yantai High-tech Industrial Development Zone. Under the guidance of Yantai Ocean Development and Fisheries Bureau, Technology Entrepreneurship Service Center of Yantai High-tech Industrial Development Zone and Beijing Tus-Wind Technology Co., Ltd., the event was jointly hosted by Yantai University-Enterprise Cooperation Demonstration Base, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (ORE-Catapult) and TUS-ORE Catapult Research Center (TORC), and co-hosted by Yantai International Technology Market, Zhanjiang Marine Science and Technology Industry Innovation Center, and TusPark (Zhanjiang) Operation Management Co., Ltd.

Considering the severity of the COVID-2019 pandemic at the beginning of the year, the second “China-UK Offshore Technology Collaboration Forum” was postponed. Under such special circumstance, TORC has accelerated the pace of exploration, continued to investigate, exploit, review and introduce high-quality British marine technology and projects through the online technical review system and discussed cooperation and transformation in a flexible and diverse manner, hoping to match and meet the needs of the domestic market and achieve tangible results. In order to better promote the cooperation and exchanges of China-UK marine science and technology projects and better showcase the work results of the past year, TORC held the “China-UK Offshore Technology Collaboration Online Promotion Conference & Tus-Aero Unveiling Ceremony” as a continuation of the first forum and a new starting point for future work.
