BGTA would like to sincerely invite you to “Gateway to China: the Future of Innovation in Artificial Intelligence”, happening in 3rd May in Cambridge. The event will bring together AI experts from both Europe and China, and explore the Artificial Intelligence ecosystems of both the UK and China. The programme will also shine a light on the collaboration challenges and potentials, acceleration programmes and investment opportunities for European AI companies looking to scale up in China. Among the speakers, there will be Chinese AI experts and senior officials from the Shanghai Municipal Government joining. With the central government's support, Shanghai endeavors to build an international AI ecosystem that enables a deeper understanding between companies from the East and the West, and encourage further collaborations that will bring mutual benefit for both sides.
