Industrial technology co-development and technology transfer projects
between Chinese and Spanish companies
Mandated by CHINA’s Ministry of Science and Technology and SPAIN’s Ministry of Industry,
Tourism and Trade, China’s TORCH (High Technology Industry Development Center) and Spain’s
CDTI (Industrial Technology Development Center) are making a joint effort to promote
international bilateral technology cooperation projects between companies of China and Spain,
under the “CHINEKA PROGRAM”.
The main objective of the “CHINEKA PROGRAM” is to facilitate binational industrial
technology co-development and technology transfer projects by companies of both countries.

Spanish partners can apply together to CDTI, to be evaluated by the CHINEKA PROGRAM. As for
the approved CHINEKA projects, the Spanish participants could apply to CDTI for loans and
grants. Chinese participants could apply for funding to the INNOVATION FUND for Small and
