On November 6, the 2025 CIIE Shanghai Conference, themed "Breaking Barriers, Coexisting with Resilience, and Pursuing Sustainable Growth," successfully commenced. The event established interactive platforms around six key topics to promote higher-level open cooperation. Among them, the China-LAC Think Tank Forum on Economic and Trade Cooperation served as one of the critical forums under the theme "An Open China and Shanghai’s Practices." Lu Bing, Assistant to the Executive Director of the China-LAC Technology Transfer Center (CLTTC), attended the event and delivered a keynote speech titled "A Gateway from the Greater Bay Area, A Bridge to Latin America: Building the Ecosystem of the China-LAC Technology Transfer Center."

Lu Bing emphasized that technological innovation has always been the core driver of civilizational progress, while technology transfer and sharing are crucial pathways to promoting sustainable development between China and Latin America and building a community with a shared future for humanity. By creating an innovative "1+N" model, which deeply connects one central hub in China with multiple centers across Latin American countries, the CLTTC focuses on four key areas—research, education, commerce, and legal services—and leverages a full-chain ecological service to comprehensively advance China-LAC scientific and technological cooperation. This initiative plays a demonstrative and leading role in national sci-tech collaboration with Latin America.

Looking ahead, the CLTTC will base its efforts on the practical development needs of both China and Latin America, using technology as a bridge, cultural ties as a bond, and cooperation as the path forward. It will actively explore new directions for multilateral sci-tech development and work hand-in-hand with Latin American countries to construct a diversified and multi-dimensional technology transfer cooperation system. These efforts are designed to bolster the capacity of both sides to address global challenges and achieve shared development.
