IPIEC GLOBAL has gained significant recognition worldwide since its first edition launched in 2017, as it is not only a startup and innovation contest, but also a platform for Chinese enterprises to look for excellent overseas technology for cooperation. On the other hand, it serves as a launchpad for global innovators to enter China and launch their promising projects in the country successfully.
What can enterprises get from IPIEC GLOBAL 2019?
IPIEC GLOBAL has been working with government agencies and major innovation organizations in local countries and regions to co-organize overseas chapters, by actively engaging startups, enterprises, inventors, innovation unions, industry associations, universities & colleges, research institutes and incubators to present their latest innovations.
On the other hand, originated from Guangzhou, China, IPIEC GLOBAL 2019 is also working with Sino-foreign cooperation zones and major science parks in China to scout and collect innovation needs from domestic stakeholders, with which to furthest connect with overseas projects and startups. Having been regularly acting as a platform to strategically match domestic tech needs with global innovative resources by WTOIP's in-house experts, the platform will be an ongoing effort to successfully facilitate connections.
While entering into China, global tech projects may face uncertainties, risks and challenges due to lack of local knowledge. With WTOIP, overseas projects can be backed by profession and protection in China. WTOIP's launch-in-China pack and entrepreneurial support can help IPIEC GLOBAL participants with:

Based on last year's success, IPIEC GLOBAL 2019 is going to take the contestants to even more leading industry hubs in China, aiming to help innovators and entrepreneurs lay a solid foundation for their business growth in China by building up an extensive business network, with potential access to local funding and incentive policies.
