 Shanghai Coway International Technology Transfer Center, secretariat of ITTNET (Shanghai International Technology Transfer Network)  Contact unit of China National Technology Transfer Center (CNTTC) and responsible for information exchange and meeting organizing among partners.  Member of Beijing Technology Market Association Network Resources

Expert Resources Lots of experts in various area. Especially with the experts and professors of Tsinghua University Tsinghua’s professors rank the top in the field of energy and environment in China

Enterprise Resources Concrete cooperation relationship with Chinese enterprises. The annual contract number is about 1,000, with total funds of 400 million RMB, in which, 30% are from the field of energy and environment. UICC: University-Industry Cooperation Committee which has signed the cooperative contracts with more than 180 domestic and international companies.

Government Resources Backed up by Tsinghua University, we have established good relationships with over 22 provinces and the government departments of 100 cities who are in charge of industry and science & technology.

Partner Resources  France Agency for Environment & Energy Management (ADEME)  France Atomic Energy Commission (CEA)  France Agency for Innovation (ANVAR)  German Engineers Association (VDI)  Japan External Trade Organization (Jetro)  TOYOTA TSUSHO CORPORATION, Japan  Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST)  Technology Transfer and License Center, Korea (CTTL)  CCTEC, The University of Cornell, USA  The University of Alberta, Canada

About Network Why ITTC take part in this project?  China is one of the biggest country facing to serious problem of energy consumption & environmental pollution. Especially in this year, China aim to achieve the target of energy conservation and consumption reduction  ITTC is a biggest and first organization engage in TT, and has years experience in TT. It is a state level TT organization in China, so that it has obligation and capabilities for carrying our this project  Involved in CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) for several years.  Engage in EMC (Energy Management Contract )

What we have done  A web service has been established  Realize the connection between TT clear and ITTC, and can search the items in TT clear by key words from ITTC web site, and vice versa.  A report for first phase

Problems to be solved  The amount of data transmission is huge, always cause overtime  Uniform standards are needed Protocol of transmission Definition of connection Hard ware Soft ware Language Requirement for person who is in charge of management and maintenance

 It is necessary to find a way to insure all the information put on this network really exist.  A committee should be establish for this network system and set up a suitable operational mechanism to make it run up smoothly and effectively.  Improve the system stronger and has more function. For example, manage the projects, automatically filters the projects which are time out or sort the projects in different steps, projects matching automatically and etc..  One similar information exchange platform called IRC (Innovation Relay Centers, organized by EU could be a reference for this project. Suggestions

What we need to do further  Complete the web service based on the standards made in this meeting  Realize the Connection with other nodes  A final report  Information collection

Case 1—— Fuel Cell on City Bus Integrating the advanced technology of the Engineering Center of Energy Saving and New Energy of Tsinghua University, Coway invest to set up a company to fulfilled the state key projects (R&D on fuel cell used on city bus, R&D on HCNG hybrid and the construction of Hydrogen Park ) supported by MOST. Successfully developed a extra mini electro motion vehicle

Hydrogen Park

Case 2—— AN waste water treatment by means of nuclear technology AN （ Acrylonitrile ） is an organic compounds, its waste water causes a serious pollution along with the discharge ITTC now are working on joint R&D with NEI, Tsinghua University, and has reach a transfer agreement with a Chinese Chemical Group.ITTC now are working on joint R&D with NEI, Tsinghua University, and has reach a transfer agreement with a Chinese Chemical Group.

Before treatment after treatment

Case 3—— Nonpolluting Paper Pulp Made by means of Acid This technology was imported from an Europe company when it is in the stage of small test, ITTC organized many experts from Tsinghua University and the other institutes working on joint R&D, and cooperate with a big paper making industry to establish a base for middle test. This technology can help Chinese paper-making industry get rid of the serious pollution problem with the advantage of low pollution and low cost.

Thank you! Trustworthy partner in China
