UK and China representatives met in Beijing on Monday for the first Beijing-Birmingham Week, aiming to broker tech deals and establish a startup incubator for British companies.

Among them was a UK delegation, which visited leading innovation institutions and technology companies in the capital from June 22 to 24. Their stops included Zhongguancun Academy, Lenovo, Moonshot AI, and robotics innovation parks.

A forum on Tuesday attracted more than 150 representatives from government agencies, technology enterprises, investment institutions, and innovation organizations from both countries.

Organizers said both sides would work to facilitate the establishment of UK innovation projects and incubators in Beijing to build a long-term and mutually beneficial platform for China-UK regional cooperation in science and technology.
