Abstract: Abstract Shanghai Energy Corporation—SHEnergy Group, a major Chinese enterprise in energy provision and the development of continuous improvements in energy conservation within urban development, is undertaking a major initiative in establishing the Shanghai International Energy Innovation Centre (SIEIC). Within the programme, study visits to London and Cambridge in the UK led to a decision to seek close collaboration with established and mature centres of excellence in technology transfer and the support of new company development and scale up, providing the rapid transfer of methodology and process and in addition to establishing longer term connections and relationships enabling the identification, curation, funding and eventual adoption of promising new technology from Cambridgexf and other UK and Western centres by SIEIC—in ways bringing benefits to all parties.
