trillion USD and a growth rate of 8.5% (exceeding the national average of 6.9%).

The 13th 5-Year-Plan (2016-2020) places strong emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship. Jiangsu
provincial government has acknowledged the critical role of innovation in its economic transition. In 2015,
expenditure for R&D accounted for 2.55% (178.8 billion RMB) of the GDP in Jiangsu. Jiangsu is committed to
increase this investment to 2.8% of its GDP in the next five years.

The Jiangsu provincial government has mapped out long term strategies (“Three Steps and Two Plans”) to
upgrade its industries and transform the province into a global industrial science and technology innovation
centre by 2035. This includes transforming southern Jiangsu (including Nanjing, Wuxi, Changzhou, Suzhou
and Zhenjiang) into an innovation demonstration hub.

Jiangsu is also home to many Chinese venture capital companies with funds between 50 million RMB to 500
million. It also has one of China’s best IP protection frameworks with 8 Intellectual Property Protection

in IP application (150,000) and authorisation in China.

in Jiangsu recognised by the Central Government as conducting research and innovation in areas
complimentary to Australia’s strengths including ICT, new materials, advanced manufacturing, bio-tech and
