Investment & Technology Cooperation

Investment & Technology Cooperation

With the continuous upgrading of manufacturing in China and the intensified industrial transformation, technical cooperation between China and Europe has been continuously deepened. The China-EU Investment Agreement has also broadened the way for China and Europe to cooperate in various technologies. We have accumulated an extensive corporate network in Germany, have in-depth cooperation relationships with numerous business associations/industry associations/chambers of commerce, and have maintained regular communication with many local governments and institutions in Germany.

1.Technology Field

Due to the economic complementarity between China and Germany and the reputation of German manufacturing, German corporate heritage, and hidden champions, Chinese corporate customers have cooperation needs in aerospace, new materials, new energy (electric vehicles), biotechnology, medical equipment, high-end manufacturing, environmental protection technology, artificial intelligence, marine technology, and high-end agriculture.

2.Joint Venture Business Model

Our corporate customers in China have access to a huge local market and most of them have their own investment funds. The ideal business model we designed for foreign companies is to invest thier technology in the joint venture in China. Therefore, the investment of both parties is as follows:
● Chinese investment: Capital + Heavy Assets (land, plant, equipment, etc.) + Market
● Foreign investment: Technology + Management/Training
Through such a joint venture model, the financial risks of the foreign party can be minimized, and both parties can have long-term benefit in the Chinese market.

3.Corporate Investment and M&A

Our corporate clients, funds, and investment companies in China also have overseas investment and M&A needs. Our clients' foreign investment usually favors German and European technology companies in order to connect China's vast domestic market in the medium and long term, and to more successfully commercialize German and European technologies in China.

In addition to high-tech companies, our corporate clients in China also have extensive interest in non-high-tech fields such as traditional industries, agriculture, food processing, mining, general manufacturing, fast-moving consumer goods, and consumables industries.

Our teams in charge of technology cooperation, investment and M&A are located in Shanghai and Hamburg respectively. With the help of rich experience in the two places, we directly connect the companies of both China and Germany (Europe). Our long-term cooperative relationship with a group of excellent law firms can provide professional legal and tax services for investment and M&A activities.
