【2019伦敦科技周】CENTI CEO宰承峰先生接受China Daily专访

伦敦科技周（London Tech Week)期间，CENTI GROUP中欧科技创新网络创始人兼CEO宰承峰先生接受了China Daily的专访，让我们一起看看宰承峰先生为大家分享了哪些独到的见解。

Chinese entrepreneur John Zai has a mission-to increase collaboration between Europe and China in the technology sector.

In March, Zai launched CENTI, China-Europe Networks of Technology and Innovation Limited, a consultancy company to help Britain and European tech companies expand into the Chinese market.  "China is going to become the biggest consumer market in the future and the biggest asset which China can offer to Europe is our market," Zai said.

"Europe is also a perfect match for China as Europe's valuable technology is something China needs."  Zai explained what his London-based company can offer is essential advisory services between two vastly different business landscapes. "China can be a complex country to understand, especially when it comes to the different regulatory environments and that's where we come in, building a platform for a China-Europe ecosystem."

Another of Zai's business interests is Tech Shanghai Advocates, set up in 2017, which became the first Chinese network to join the Global Tech Advocates organization, set up by Russ Shaw.  "The group is exactly what China needs and there are a lot of tech investors and businesses inside this network," Zai said.  "This group can bring a lot of different elements into China."

Over the next three to five years, Zai hopes to set up more networks in the world's second-largest economy as part of Global Tech Advocates, in Chinese cities such as Beijing, Chengdu or Hangzhou. CENTI has also recently agreed a strategic partnership with China International Engineering Consulting Corporation, or CIECC. “The deal will see CENTI act as an overseas representative of CEICC as it seeks to provide consultancy services to European companies that are looking to expand into the Chinese market. ”

With the United Kingdom scheduled to leave the European Union, Zai said it is a perfect opportunity for British tech companies to focus on collaborating with Chinese investors, partners and clients as a way to scale their businesses for international growth.

The Chinese entrepreneur pointed out that the row over tech giant Huawei will not affect Chinese tech companies investing in the UK and Europe as China looks to go global. "Maybe there will be a slight slowdown from European investors looking to collaborate with China," he said, "but there are still bigger prospects between Europe and China."
