WELCOME TO GREEN CRANE TRADING (GCT)

We are experts in technology transfer between the UK/Europe and China.

We can help you build a bridge between China and the UK in order to commercialise technology developed in one country within the market of the other. Whether it’s bringing Chinese technology to UK or taking UK technology to China we can help make it happen.

Technology transfer is a much talked about subject that requires a range of skills to execute well.

We believe good technology transfer requires a number of attributes that we have built over time to enable you to access them quickly and easily:

• Cultural understanding across two such different business environments is the cornerstone of any successful business partnership between UK and China. Our team have years of experience in both countries absorbing and understanding the cultures and how to navigate them.
• STEM capability is a vital requirement of making technology transfer work because it is important to be able to validate the product and help everybody understand it before anyone is going to invest time and effort in a business deal.
• Business relationship building is neither quick nor easy. However successful technology transfer needs both parties to want to work together. Therefore building business relationships is key to building profitable deals

For UK companies.

Why use GCT?

GCT is about so much more than just the technology to be transferred. For a UK company keeping up with developments in the UK market and regulation probably feels like second nature. Trying to keep track of what is happening in China, when so many official messages need to be understood by reading between the lines, is a big ask. GCT brings cultural understanding and a network in China that makes keeping up with this fast-developing country much more manageable.

GCT in country presence and support

The CGT team in UK is supported by a strong network in China that has enabled us to set up local deals outside of the obvious target markets like Beijing and Shanghai.

Our contacts in China can help find and build deals, supporting the Chinese partner and ensuring messages are properly communicated and understood during the deal building stage.

CGT also has access to technologists in China who can assist in the assessment process.

What deal types is it suitable for?

We can support UK companies looking for the following:

• Sourcing key technologies from China to support business growth in the UK.
• Establishing a Joint Venture to manufacture a UK sourced technology in China
• Establishing relationships in China to purchase UK sourced components into a B-2-B market

What difference does it make?

We help UK companies by:

• Improving communication and making sure messages are properly understood across languages, cultures, and time zones
• Technical translating complex documents and conversations well beyond the reach of a mass market translation service
• Bringing our network in China to bear to check out that a Chinese partner is able to deliver what they are promising
