“With its booming economy and large consumer base, China is fast becoming a significant early adopter of new technologies,” said Dr Y Jay Guo, Director of the CSIRO Wireless Technologies Laboratory when announcing the deal.

“This is just the first success in a long term partnership between the two parties.”

The agreement, one of the first of its kind, was signed between CSIRO and the China Electronic Technology Corporation (CETC) for technology transfer in the area of antennas for wireless communications.

“CSIRO is confident that the deal will allow the opportunity for a closer collaboration between China and Australia to extend research cooperation and develop markets for CSIRO’s research,” Dr Guo said.
