The China-Switzerland Innovation and Entrepreneurship Cooperation Launch Conference was recently held in Changzhou National Hi-Tech District in a move to further strengthen the strategic partnership on innovation between Switzerland and China and implement the spirit of the Joint Statement on Strengthening Science and Innovation Cooperation signed by China's Ministry of Science and Technology and the Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research.
