In recent years, innovation has been one of the most used terms in the circle of Chinese policy makers, the reason being that in such a fast-speed environment, innovative ideas are key to unlock China’s development and strengthen its global competitiveness. For that reason, China has signed co-funding deals and rolled out policies to encourage the start-up scene in their market, especially focusing on financing new ideas and innovations in China. The most prominent funding and programs include are the ‘EU-China Co-Funding Mechanism’, the ‘National Natural Science Fund’, the ‘Bases and Talents Program’, ‘The Medium to Long-Term Plan for the Development of Science and Technology (2006-2020)’, etc. To be able to succeed in this huge but complicated market, a good understanding of the innovation landscape and its funding opportunities in China is essential.

Our society has evolved with the mindset to create things that will benefit us in some shape or form. Those creations have been primarily focused on changing or fixing almost everything revolved around humans. But why not simply focus on changing the core component of the system, us? So why construct things to help humans while we could be making humans better off from the start? Shouldn’t we be focusing on improving humans so we wouldn’t have to be making these accommodations? And, if so, how would we be able to accomplish such a task?

Populating the human body with powerful technologies is no longer just a sci-fi fantasy. Existing and emerging technologies are rapidly ushering in an era of human augmentation, self-regulation and automated diagnosis and treatment. In order to better explore this topic, the European Chamber is very pleased to welcome you to a factory visit to Comau Songjiang in combination with a seminar on Human Augmentation, on Thursday, 24th October 2019, from 08:25 to 12:30.
