4. Our Solution Overview
Targeted Market Entry Symposium™ = City Selection + Government Mobilization + Scenario Matching + Bilateral Symposium + Post-Event Conversion
It is not just a meeting but a methodology.
（1）Industrial Cluster Intelligence Engine
We match German companies to the most suitable Chinese cities based on technology fit:
✔ Ningbo: metal processing, strip steels, hydraulics, machining
✔ Chongqing: automotive parts, aerospace, robotics
✔ Suzhou / Wuxi: automation, electronics, precision equipment
✔ Foshan / Dongguan: home appliances, tooling, stamping/molding
✔ Qingdao / Yantai: chemical materials, process equipment
（2）Government-Supported Industrial Coordination
We secure government-level endorsement and mobilization:
Engage key enterprises via Economic & IT Bureaus
Mobilize upstream/downstream industrial chains
Leverage local industrial policies and parks to boost attendance
Co-host with research institutes, universities, and alliances
German companies cannot do this by themselves.
（3）German Technical Contextualization
The essence of the Symposium:
German engineering depth × Chinese scenario language
We optimize:
- German technical content → Chinese operational context
- Localization of case studies
- Pre-event demand research on Chinese side
- Agenda design (Problem → Solution → Implementation Path)
（4）Precision Matching of Participating Enterprises
We do not extend broad invitations; we invite only precisely matched enterprises:
- Key players across the value industrial chain
- Process engineers / technical directors
- Enterprises with explicit pain points
- Industries matching German technologies
→ High participation rate, high communication efficiency.
（5）Sino-German Innovative Technical Symposium
Key event elements:
- Roundtables + Case discussions
- Deep-dive into process challenges
- Data-driven presentations
- Expert interactions
- Chinese participants present real application pain points
- German side presents solutions and constraints
- Sino-Cooperation platform translates scenario, language, and logic
All discussions start with “How do we implement this?”, not just marketing.
（6）Post-Symposium Conversion System
After the Symposium, we support:
- 1-on-1 follow-up meetings
- Scenario validation
- POC planning
- Setting up stable communication channels
- Third-party industrial consulting when needed
The Symposium is not the end.
It is the beginning of conversion.

Success Case: Ningbo Strip Processing Symposium
Sino-Cooperation Targeted Market Entry Symposium™ – Classic Case
On 18 November 2025, Sino-Cooperation brought five leading European industrial-technology companies—
Alleima, Berger, COBRA, Wolfgang Kohnle, PWFT—
into Ningbo’s industrial cluster and held a high-level technical Symposium on Strip Processing.
Ningbo, a major hub for metal processing and strip-steel applications in China, served as the optimal city selection, maximizing technology-scenario fit.
🎯 Validate real Chinese market demand for German technologies
🎯 Address critical pain points in the strip-processing value chain
🎯 Establish a Sino-German technical dialogue and a scenario-driven mechanism
🎯 Obtain accurate market judgment with minimal cost
Sino-Cooperation delivered the complete Targeted Market Entry Symposium™ service system.
1. Precise city selection
Ningbo offered the highest match in:
Industry density / operational scenarios / company types / government support.
2. Government & industrial-platform collaboration
We coordinated industrial parks, bureaus, and associations to ensure high-quality attendance.
3. Bilateral agenda design
Topics included:
process improvement, surface treatment, strip precision processing.
4. Targeted invitation of enterprises
30+ enterprises and research institutions, including:
• Strip deep-processing companies (razors, surgical blades, saw blades)
• Metal manufacturing firms
• Equipment manufacturers
• Universities and research institutes
5. Scenario-driven discussion
The Symposium centered on real industrial floor scenarios, not presentations.
70+ industry representatives
Coverage across strip processing, metal machining, heat treatment, automation
Highly focused technical discussions:
▶️ Process stability & consistency
▶️ Surface quality enhancement
▶️ Precision and tool-life improvement
▶️ Equipment upgrades/retrofits
▶️ Heat treatment optimization
100% of European companies entered follow-up discussions with potential customers
Post-event survey results:
Every participating German company obtained:
✔ Clear potential customers
✔ Clear scenario requirements
✔ Clear implementation opportunities
✔ Multiple follow-up meetings
Traditional German market entry often follows:
“We brought the technology, but don’t know who needs it or how to communicate.”
The Symposium reverses the path:
✔ German companies clearly articulate:
“We solve these process challenges.”
✔ Chinese companies immediately respond:
“These are exactly our pain points.”
✔ Sino-Cooperation translates language, scenario, and commercial logic
moving both sides quickly toward shared understanding.
This forms a Problem → Solution → Implementation Path rapid-matching mechanism.
The Symposium is no longer a meeting but a co-cooperation process:
Technical Dialogue → Scenario Consensus → Implementation.
