Dear Partners and Friends of the EU China Energy Cooperation Platform,

It has been two and half years since face-to-face business exchanges between EU and China were paused by the COVID pandemic. The need remains for innovative energy solutions in order to reach China’s climate targets . ECECP is therefore organising a live virtual exhibition (Expo 2022) to support EU companies who wish to introduce their services and products to the Chinese market.

From 27 – 29 September 2022, ECECP is offering 20 selected EU companies the opportunity to take part free of charge. The companies will be selected by a specially appointed Expo 2022 panel. Participation will include:

  • subtitle provision for a video provided by the company (up to 15 minutes) introducing their clean energy solutions and services.
  • hosting of the video on a Chinese video-sharing platform that is accessible freely in China.
  • copywriting support and translation for one short case study (up to 1,000 words).
  • publication of the case study on the ECECP WeChat account.
  • inclusion in the EU China Energy Magazine special edition on EU Innovative Energy Solutions, to be published in December 2022.
  • inclusion on a list of EU innovative energy solution providers on the ECECP website.
  • interpreting services.
  • introduction to EU funded, free of charge advisory on IPR issues related to doing business in China and support to SMEs.

During Expo 2022, the mornings will be taken up with live online events streamed from Europe. In the ‘main meeting room’, journalists from the online energy news forum Energy Post Note 1 will conduct live interviews with end users, CEOs of exhibiting companies and so on. 

Additionally, Expo 2022 will host five separate virtual exhibition halls, focusing on renewables, energy efficiency, energy storage, power grids and buildings. We invite our partners to propose innovative energy solution providers from the EU. Companies should contact ECECP by 5 August to register their interest.

 

We have four main selection criteria:

  • Energy savings / carbon emissions reduction potential.
  • Distinctive USP.
  • Business readiness.
  • Business potential.
