Among these events, the China-UK Innovation and Entrepreneurship Showcase was held at the British Academy in London.

Focusing on general issues in the practice of transnational cooperation in youth innovation and entrepreneurship and centering on roadmaps, policy support, intellectual property protection and trust building in cooperation, the China-UK Innovation and Entrepreneurship Showcase invited 10 outstanding youth innovation and entrepreneurship teams from China and the UK for exchange of views and shows on the same stage and for dialogues with a dozen senior mentors on innovation and entrepreneurship from government, industry and academic & research institutions from both countries. Meanwhile, the event also invited representatives of dozens of investment institutions and industrial innovation cooperation agencies in both countries to participate and connect investment and industrial cooperation opportunities for youth innovation and entrepreneurship projects of the two counties. Almost 100 delegates attended the Camp. With youth innovation cooperation as the link, the China-UK Innovation and Entrepreneurship Showcase will deepen China-UK people-to-people exchanges and cooperation, promote friendship between the youth of both countries and build a solid foundation for the future.
