China-LAC Technology Transfer Center (CLTTC), approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China as China’s only comprehensive cross-border technology transfer institution dedicated to Latin America and the Caribbean, was officially inaugurated in Dongguan, Guangdong in June 2023.

As a key platform for implementing the Belt and Road Science, Technology and Innovation Cooperation Action Plan and advancing the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as an international hub for sci-tech innovation, CLTTC actively explores an innovative mechanism combining government guidance and private-sector operation. It has established a multidimensional sci-tech cooperation ecosystem centered on “research, education, business, and legal services,” delivering full-chain services spanning country-specific studies, smart education, technology trade, and rights protection.

CLTTC adheres to a tripartite development model of “platform-network-mechanism” to build a collaborative network for China-LAC technology transfer and sci-tech cooperation. Through its “1 (China Headquarters) + N (Branch Centers in LAC countries)” framework, it has established overseas branches in multiple Latin American and Caribbean nations, continuously expanding its global innovation cooperation system.

Rooted in the Greater Bay Area, serving the whole nation, and engaging with the world, CLTTC thoroughly implements the China-LAC Science and Technology Partnership Plan. It promotes in-depth collaboration in economic development, scientific exchange, and technology transfer, setting a national benchmark for China-LAC sci-tech cooperation. CLTTC delivers tangible support to serve the overarching goals of national diplomacy and sci-tech innovation strategy, providing a solid underpinning for building a China-LAC community with a shared future.
