Turkington Tang and its associates have particular expertise in the following sectors.
Big data: data sets so large that they are beyond the processing power of conventional applications. The insight big data can offer is, accordingly, beyond what was previously possible: identifying patterns, trends and associations which would otherwise go undetected.
China is promoting the use of big data in healthcare and other industries, as well as by government itself. Particular provinces, such as Guizhou, have been designated as centres for the development of the big data industry.
Turkington Tang is currently engaged in big data projects in China.
Development, migration and urbanisation have broken the tradition in many parts of Asia of caring for the elderly in the family.
That same tradition has left China and other countries without a professional elderly care sector. Recognising its need, China has deregulated elderly care, allowing access to its elderly care sector by foreign investors.
Turkington Tang is active in elderly care projects in China. Work with us to help shape the way Asia cares for its elderly.
Manufacturing in Asia for export to the developed world is a mainstay of the global economy. It will remain so, but soon will be matched by manufacturing for domestic consumption. Factory start-ups, acquisitions, contract manufacturing, quality control and process improvement are Turkington Tang’s bread and butter.
Turkington Tang knows the media well in mainland China, Hong Kong and other parts of Asia. We have worked in trade publications and general media. Work with us to get your message through.
China’s universities are well resourced and climbing world university rankings. Longstanding plans to improve standards – notably ‘Project 211’ dating from 1995, and ‘Project 985’ dating from 1998, have more recently been joined by the ‘Double First University Plan’ – a state plan launched in 2017 to make 42 universities world class by 2050.
Links between Chinese and overseas universities have proliferated since the beginning of the country’s reforms, but while there are numerous Sino-foreign joint educational projects, still only a small number of foreign universities have joined with Chinese counterparts to establish Sino-foreign joint educational institutions in mainland China.
In Hong Kong, InnoHK is a major government initiative to develop Hong Kong as the hub for global research collaboration. This involves the establishment of world-class research clusters at the Hong Kong Science Park with research laboratories set up by world-renowned institutions and companies to conduct collaborative research. The first two clusters – Health@InnoHK and AIR@InnoHK (covering artificial intelligence and robotics) – are to be established in the second half of 2019.
Professor Ella Ritchie OBE, a member of Turkington Tang’s advisory board, is Emerita Deputy Vice-Chancellor at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom and has advised UK universities on their alliances with leading universities in China. She is currently the chief external examiner at Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University in Suzhou.
Asia – and China in particular – is difficult terrain for many international non-governmental organisations, yet the issues many NGOs seek to tackle are global. Turkington Tang helps NGOs whose vision and values we share to navigate political and practical issues in Asia.
