Kiran Patel, Senior Director, China, CBBC
China and the UK are the largest and ninth largest manufacturing countries in the world, respectively. Despite both countries having made great efforts in developing the green manufacturing sector, there remains a lot of potential for further development.
I was really pleased to see in attendance senior UK government representation from the China mission, visiting academics and also UK businesses together with couterparts from China.
There is tremendous potential to leverage resources beyond governmental support and involve multiple stakeholders to work together to deliver innovation and improve sustainable manufacturing in China and the UK.
