Opening up the African market for semiconductor lighting -- a meeting of China Africa semiconductor lighting cooperation

In response to the national "China Africa science and technology partnership for the implementation of the October 2010, China signed with the State Ministry of science and technology of Republic of Kenya higher education and the Ministry of science and technology of the" memorandum of understanding "on the construction of relevant semiconductor lighting demonstration project" on the establishment of efficient and fair from the memorandum of understanding "Network Center lighting, effectively promote the non semiconductor lighting in non cooperation, semiconductor lighting work conference in February 24, 2011 in cooperation with the Institute of semiconductors held. The meeting was organized by the national semiconductor lighting engineering research and development and industrial alliance organization, from the semiconductor lighting related enterprises on behalf of nearly 30 people attended the meeting.

First, the national semiconductor lighting research and development and Industry Alliance non semiconductor lighting cooperation project leader on the progress of cooperation made a report. This paper introduces the background of the cooperation between China and Africa in semiconductor lighting, the basis for the development of the work, the specific progress of the work and the work plan for further cooperation. In the non cooperation in the implementation of semiconductor lighting based on the relevant national call, can improve the lighting situation of African countries to improve people's quality of life, but also conducive to Chinese semiconductor lighting enterprises to develop the African market.

Experience and views on the lighting market in Africa have been shared by business representatives and participants in the African market. Through the field investigation in the African market, they introduced the state of the market, market demand, product characteristics and market competition. African lighting market is also divided into high and low points, but the overall performance of the African market for the product requirements are not high, simple, durable, easy maintenance is the general demand for products. To carry out cooperation projects of enterprises in Africa also in developing African markets cooperation mode and the difficulties in a lively discussion, everyone agreed that African semiconductor lighting has a huge market demand, but also China enterprise image and reputation in the minds of Africans are not high, should take effective measures as soon as possible to change and upgrade the enterprise Chinese image in africa. The participants deeply realized that, with the strength of a single enterprise, in the huge African market alone can not play the advantages of the enterprise can not meet the needs of the market.

National semiconductor lighting engineering research and Industry Alliance Secretary General Ms. Wu Ling said Chinese, as the largest developing country, the semiconductor lighting products and the African market born, in low carbon and energy saving common development era, now is a good time to the semiconductor illumination enterprises into the African market. The government is thinking, the market demand, the enterprise strength, Chinese enterprises should as soon as possible to establish credibility, and establish the corresponding channels, financial and market mechanism, make full use of government policies, the integration of related resources in alliance platform, explore the specific operational measures as soon as possible to enable enterprises to take root in africa.

Delegates have said, hope that the effective use of the support of national policy, to play the role of alliance, integration of resources, and realize information sharing, joint operations, channels, real change Chinese manufacturing image, make enterprises to go Chinese. Based on the principles and objectives, we discussed the specific form and mechanism of cooperation, reach a consensus, the establishment of "lighting Africa" semiconductor lighting alliance preparatory group, and make arrangements to carry out specific work.
