OVERVIEW

Introduction

Manufacturing is a critical sector for a country’s economic development and job creation.  China is seeking to transform from a large manufacturing economy to a more innovative, more highly value-added one.  The key to making that transition is smart manufacturing, which can also be described as Internet of Things (IoT).  It connects each link of the value chain through innovative and productive approaches.   How can the United States and American companies benefit by participating in China’s process of manufacturing transformation?  What are the opportunities and challenges?

Objectives

To explore trade and investment opportunities in the field of smart manufacturing by bringing together government officials, policy-makers, project managers, investors, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists to pursue strategic US-China investment and trade partnerships in smart manufacturing.

Summit Overview

After organizing a highly successful 2015 US-China Smart Manufacturing Summit in October 2015, the US-China Foundation for Exchange & Development (USCFED) committed to repeating that success in 2016.  This year, USCFED is organizing together with the U.S. Department of Commerce (USDOC) and the Research Institute of Machinery Industry Economic & Management (RIMIEM) in China to organize the 2016 US-China Smart Manufacturing Summit.  It will bring together about 50 private investors, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in the field of smart manufacturing from China to meet their public and private sector counterparts in the United States.  It will provide a unique opportunity for our business communities to engage each other in a series of panels and networking sessions covering major issues and challenges related to pursuing US-China investment and trade opportunities in the field of smart manufacturing, including specific projects.  News organizations from the U.S. and China will participate in the forum, in addition to covering it.

Sessions

NanoBCA Recommends: Generation Nano – Small Science, Superheroes Competition

Posted on October 19th, 2016 in Uncategorized | No Comments »

The NanoBusiness Commercialization Association (NanoBCA) would like to recommend the second annual Generation Nano – Small Science, Superheroes Competition.

NSF and National Nanotechnology Initiative invite high school students to create heroes with nanotech-inspired gear, powers

Calling all nanotechnology-empowered superheroes!

Nano-superheros

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

U.S. students create superheroes that use nanotechnology powers.

WHIZ! POW! BAM! BOOM! Today, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) announce the opening of the second annual Generation Nano: Small Science, Superheroes! competition. The contest invites U.S. high school and home-schooled students to create a superhero that uses nanotechnology — science and technology on the scale of a nanometer, or one billionth of a meter — to solve crimes and meet today’s challenges.

By challenging students to think big (or small, in this case) to create superheroes with nanotechnology-inspired gear or powers, NSF and NNI aim to promote an early interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

“An increasing number of students are drawn to the fascinating field of nanotechnology, which allows us to do things not possible before in computing, mobile communication, medicine and the environment,” said NSF Senior Advisor for Science and Engineering Mihail Roco. “The younger generation will carry on future progress in this exciting field. The Generation Nano competition gives students an opportunity to creatively combine this scientific interest with their artistic side.”

Last year’s first-ever Generation Nano competition inspired entries from more than 115 students across the U.S. The winning superhero creations included Nanoman, who battled a malignant crab-monster named Cancer; Radio Blitz, who helped dispose of local waste; and Nine, a rising superhero who used his nanosuit to defeat a pair of kidnappers.

Actor Wil Wheaton hosted the awards ceremony at the 2016 USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C., where legendary comic book creator Stan Lee made a surprise virtual appearance to congratulate the finalists.

“The number and quality of the submissions to the Generation Nano contest last year were fantastic,” said Lisa Friedersdorf, deputy director of the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office, which provides public outreach for NNI. “I’m very excited by the four key societal missions identified for this year’s contest as nanotechnology can play a critical role in addressing each of these needs. I can’t wait to see the creative and imaginative ways the student teams take on this challenge!”

This year, participants’ superhero creations must tackle one of the following societal issues:

Justice — Using nanotechnology to fight criminals, bullies, supervillains and other wrongdoers.
Relief — Using nanotechnology to aid victims of famine, drought and other disasters.
Health — Using nanotechnology to heal the sick and injured.
Environment — Using nanotechnology to generate clean energy, control pollution and create a sustainable future.

NSF will promote the opening of the competition this week at New York Comic Con, the East Coast’s largest popular culture convention. A panel will bring together NSF-funded scientists and storytellers to talk about their imagined worlds.

Student contestants are encouraged to submit their superhero creations to the Generation Nano competition website for an opportunity to compete for prizes. A panel will review the submissions and select 15 semifinalists, and then a first and second place winner. Submissions from all semifinalists will also be posted to the Generation Nano website to allow the public to vote for their favorite superhero, which will receive a People’s Choice award.

Additional competition details

– U.S. high school and home-schooled students should submit a written entry explaining how their superhero uses nanotechnology to do good, along with a two-to-three-page comic and 90-second video.
– Competition opens Oct. 5, 2016, and submissions are due by midnight, Jan. 31, 2017 EST.
– Three rounds of judging will take place, with winners announced in the spring.
– Prizes: $1,500 for first place; $1,000 for second place; and $750 for the People’s Choice award.

Visit the Generation Nano competition website for full eligibility criteria, entry guidelines, timeline and prize information. For additional questions about the contest, contact the Generation Nano team at gennano@nsf.gov.

Water 2.0 Recommends: 2016 China Venture Capital Winter Summit – Nov 21-22

Posted on October 19th, 2016 in Uncategorized | No Comments »

2016 China Venture Capital Winter Summit
November 21-22, 2016
Clear Water Bay, Hainan, China

REGISTER
The registration deadline is Friday, September 30th.

Here in the US, we tend to equate drought with California.  In recent years, California has made the news time and time again for increasingly strict rules on water usage.  To most Americans, even Californians, the idea of water rationing is something that is almost entirely foreign.  Unfortunately, for hundreds of millions of Chinese, water rationing is a fact of life.

China water chartWith a US population of approximately 320 million people, America has total renewable water resources of 3,069 cubic kilometers.  By contrast, China has a population of 1.37 billion people but only has total renewable water resources of 2,840 cubic kilometers.  This means that the average Chinese has access to less than a quarter of the water resources of the average American.  A full 60% of China’s 661 cities face seasonal water shortages, while over 100 cities suffer severe water constraints.  Starting in 2013, the Chinese central government began issuing water quotas to every single province in the People’s Republic.  Many experts predict that China faces a looming water crisis.

Due to the urgent nature of water resource usage in China, both the Chinese government and the Chinese private sector are taking rapid action to address the issue.  The Chinese government is currently constructing a multi-decade infrastructure mega-project called the South-North Water Transfer Project, which upon completion aims to divert 44.8 cubic kilometers of freshwater annually from water-rich Southern China to water-poor Northern China.  Meanwhile, environmentally-conscious corporations such as Alibaba are now building data centers that are cooled by natural bodies of water.

China-person-carrying-waterNevertheless, China still has a long way to go if it wants to use its limited water resources to maximum efficiency, and everyone there knows it.  It is estimated that Chinese capital expenditure on industrial water and wastewater treatment will top $6.8 billion by 2020.  Opportunities abound for American water companies with the right technology and the desire to enter the Chinese market.  However, navigating through the complex landscape of the Chinese market can be very difficult, especially without a local Chinese partner.

Fortunately, Water 2.0 has entered into a new strategic partnership with North America Exchange Center (NAEC).  Founded in 2000, NAEC is a business consulting company that specializes in helping foreign businesses fundraise, setup operations, and apply for government grants in China. Over the years, NAEC has assisted over 50,000 entrepreneurs in a variety of fields, including water technology.  Over the past two years, NAEC has hosted semi-annual venture capital summits in China to help foreign businesses raise capital from Chinese venture capitalists.  In addition, NAEC founded a business culture incubator in the Qingpu District of Shanghai in June of this year with the aim of teaching foreign businesses entering the Chinese market the nuances of Chinese business culture and China’s regulatory framework.

Water 2.0 and NAEC welcome any member companies who are interested in fundraising in China to attend the 2016 China Venture Capital Winter Summit held on the tropical island of Hainan.  Room and board will be provided by NAEC, so the only out-of-pocket expense for attendees is international airfare.  You can register for the conference at http://naec.co/.  The registration deadline is Friday, September 30th.
