Event Details
Spending on R&D in China hit a new high in 2024, up 8.3 percent from the previous year, which ranked second in the world. Consultancy McKinsey and Co. said in a report that such a growth target will set the country on the path to becoming the world's largest spender on R&D.
For international businesses, while it is acknowledged that China has established formal S&T partnerships with 161 countries, challenges remain and need to be addressed, such as structural imbalances in R&D investment, talent gaps and shortages, IP and compliance risks, geopolitical barriers, financial and operational constraints so on and so forth.
