On Saturday, November 23, 2024, Emerald Strategy Partners (ESP) and Henan Investment Group/Henan Innovation Group formalized a collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
This strategic partnership establishes a dynamic framework for fostering innovation, investment, and high-tech enterprise collaboration between Henan Province, Ireland, and Europe.
Bridging Innovation and Investment Across Borders
This MOU marks a significant milestone in strengthening ties between Ireland and Henan Province, creating new avenues for collaboration in Digital Economy, Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology, New Energy, and Emerging Technologies.
ESP will leverage its extensive network to connect Henan Investment Group with enterprises, high-tech organizations, government agencies, and talent across Ireland and Europe. In return, Henan Investment Group will facilitate ESP’s engagement with key resources in Henan, including government, municipal, and university networks.
Henan Investment Group’s strong financial instruments will play a pivotal role in incubating and scaling Irish technology enterprises. These resources will attract investment for established Irish enterprises and support European companies in securing funding for growth and expansion. Additionally, Henan-based technology innovations will have the opportunity to establish operations in Ireland, using it as a gateway to European markets.
A Strong Foundation for Future Collaboration
As part of the agreement, Henan Innovation Group will provide office space for ESP in Shanghai, reinforcing the long-term commitment to collaboration. ESP will actively identify high-potential Irish enterprises and guide them into the Henan innovation ecosystem.
The partnership is built on three core cooperation models:
1. Enterprise Visits and Talent Exchange Cooperation
Both sides will facilitate visits and knowledge-sharing between enterprises, scientific researchers, and technology talent from Shanghai and Dublin. This exchange will strengthen cross-border collaboration and the integration of scientific and technological innovation ecosystems.
2. Enterprise Landing Service Cooperation
ESP and Henan Investment Group will actively support technology companies from both countries in establishing and expanding their presence in each other's markets. This initiative aims to accelerate international growth and market penetration for high-tech businesses.
3. Exhibition and Conference Cooperation
