At SRIP ACS+, we have strengthened our partnership with the EURO-SINO Automotive Association (ESAA) at a time of rapid change in the automotive industry and China’s growing influence on the global market. This opens the door to enhanced cooperation between Slovenian automotive and supplier companies and Chinese investors, manufacturers, and institutions.
ESAA will act as a strategic advisor to SRIP ACS+ members in the field of cooperation with partners from the People’s Republic of China, with a focus on:
- preparing strategies for entering the Chinese market,
- connecting Slovenian companies with Chinese institutions and industry,
- support for investments, technology transfer, and expertise,
- reports, analyses, and trends from the Chinese automotive industry,
- connecting ACS members with relevant Chinese partners,
- adapting successful Chinese models of industrial integration for use in Slovenia.
Through this partnership, SRIP ACS+ and ESAA aim to strengthen the global competitiveness of Slovenian mobility and the industry of the future. The cooperation agreement was signed by Tanja Mohorič, director of SRIP ACS+, and Blaž Štefe, president of ESAA. We will publish more about the cooperation and upcoming activities on our communication channels. So stay tuned and follow us.
