Abstract


This paper comprehensively explores the multifaceted collaboration between China and Eastern European Countries (China-CEEC), focusing on the China-CEEC Innovation Cooperation Research Center and the First Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. Employing a case study approach with Slovenia as the focal point, the analysis integrates comparative metrics, including the Global Innovation Index, Expert Ratings of Entrepreneurial Framework Conditions, Intellectual Property Rankings, and the Global Talent Competitiveness Index. Furthermore, the comparative analyses presented in the paper underscore China's global leadership in various dimensions, particularly in intellectual property. This study contributes to a detailed understanding of the dynamic collaboration between China and Eastern European countries, showcasing a commitment to innovation and sustainable development by emphasizing the China-CEEC Innovation Cooperation initiative, the First China-CEEC Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, and its role in fostering collaboration among young innovators and entrepreneurs. It examines participation criteria, project categories, and the comprehensive support provided to winners, including matchmaking services, policy assistance, and post-competition benefits. This collaborative initiative is a testament to the enduring friendship and commitment within China-CEEC Cooperation, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.
