The Partner Program
The Partner Program is the core of China Greentech Initiative, designed as an open collaborative platform to create value for Partners and Advisors. The Program is organized around six distinct sectors: Cleaner Conventional Energy, Renewable Energy, Electric Power Infrastructure, Cleaner Transportation, Green Building, and Clean Water.
The 2011 Partner Program delivers On-going Market Insights, Meaningful Industry collaboration, and Market Acceleration & Recognition.
On-going Market Insights:
The Partner Program delivers strategic market research that would cost millions of dollars to develop separately to inform staff, identify opportunities for new solutions, develop business cases, and make existing offerings more greentech relevant.
- Sector Opportunity Assessments - In-depth consulting style research, analysis and insights on key market opportunities and issues impacting specific sectors (three per sector).
- Market Development Studies - In-depth consulting style deliverables providing detailed research analysis and insights (one per sector, updated for 2010 from the 2009 deliverables).
- Continuous Market Insights - Summaries of sector, market, legal/regulatory, solution, competitive, financing and related developments in a searchable online database (updated weekly).
Meaningful Industry collaboration:
The Partner Program organizes sector working sessions, cross-sector networking events, Chinese government outreach meetings, and manages an online clearinghouse, all of which enable new and deepen existing relationships between China greentech business leaders, experts and government officials.
