Aerospace is one of the emerging industries in China’s 14th five-year plan.

China is targeting peak carbon emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by the year 2060. The country is actively seeking cooperation opportunities in advanced technologies, specifically in green hydrogen production, transportation and storage as well as fuel cell technologies – a high growth sector in British Columbia. There are opportunities in the fields of advanced environmental protection technologies with applications in mining, oil and gas along with carbon capture, utilization and storage.

China continues to promote low carbon development with a focus on green urban development/building and prefabricated building.

China has the world’s second largest healthcare market, with a high importance placed on the life sciences sector.
