The Topic of Discussion: Join us and our special guest: Dr. Denis Fred Simon, to discuss the Evolving Face of China’s Innovation System. China’s technological rise has become one of the most critical developments in the 21st century. This presentation will analyze China’s science and technology policy and innovation strategy, emphasizing the 2006-Present period. The presentation will also examine the transition in technological development from a Soviet-style top-down model to one where market forces play a more significant role in driving advances in science and technology and improvements in innovation performance.
