US China Innovation Alliance

The US China Innovation Alliance (UCIA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that aims to provide a platform to promote the exchange of ideas and collaboration in innovation between China and the U.S. We organize the annual US China Innovation and Investment Summit (UCIS) in Houston that brings Chinese investors and innovative U.S.-based companies together. In 2017, we launched the InnoSTARS Competition that has small to mid-sized technology companies in five core industries compete for the chance to win attendance to UCIS as well as an all-expenses paid Roadshow to China where they will showcase their business and products and meet a wide audience of qualified potential investors and partners. We also organize roadshows that bring innovative U.S. technology companies to China for B2B matchmaking and provide other services that help U.S.-based companies connect with resources in China. Our mission is to: 1. Facilitate collaboration between innovative technology companies, venture capitals, accelerators and incubators 2. Help Chinese investors reach and invest in the best technologies and products in the U.S.A. 3. Help U.S.-based technology companies find investors, the most suitable Chinese partners and enter the Chinese market
