SHANGHAI Mayor Yang Xiong met a delegation from Espoo, a city in Finland, led by its mayor Jukka Mäkelä, on Tuesday. The two sister cities renewed their cooperation agreement for the next three years.
Yang said Espoo is a technology center in the Nordic region. Shanghai and Espoo have enjoyed fruitful exchanges and cooperation in education, culture, environmental protection, science and technology.
The mayor said Shanghai has switched to innovation-driven economy and is trying to develop into a global innovation center following the national initiative to involve the public in business creation and innovation.
He said he was glad to see the Finnish startup conference Slush was successfully held in Shanghai for the first time. The two cities should expand cooperation in education, culture, innovation, and business creation.
Makela said the Slush conference held in Shanghai on October 31 was a success thanks to the efforts of all parties involved. It is a fine example of Espoo’s cooperation with Shanghai. He expressed his hope for increased cooperation in more fields.
Jan Kenneth Wahlberg, the Finnish consul-general in Shanghai, joined the meeting.
