China National Light Industry Council
The China National Light Industry Council (CLIC) is a non-profit organization committed to spearheading the development of Chinas technology and industrial capabilities for consumer and industrial goods. Established in 1998, CLIC boasts a track record of success in fostering end-to-end innovation, development and growth in light industry throughout the country.
CLIC works as an engine of growth for the light industry sector by utilizing its various research and design techniques to better understand and serve customer and market needs. The organization is involved in a range of activities, from research and industrial development programs to trade and investment promotion. Furthermore, CLIC leverages the collective resources and experiences of the country’s leading light industry enterprises in order to build up China’s technological and industrial capacity to compete on the global market.
Over the last two decades, CLIC has achieved considerable success in driving technological advancements in the light industry sector. The organization constantly strives to move China’s light industry towards higher value-added, knowledge-based operations, with the aim of delivering more efficient production, better product quality, and improved customer service. CLIC works to develop and create more effective products that meet the needs of both domestic and international customers.
In the late 1990s, the Chinese government identified light industry as one of the country’s major economic drivers. In its “Democratic Reform Five Year Plan” (2001-2005), the government identified it as a key development strategy to drive economic growth and meet the needs of customers both at home and abroad. To enable this, the government identified a need for improved technology, product quality, and improved customer services.
In order to increase the efficiency of light industry in China, CLIC also works in strategic alliances with provincial and municipal governments to increase the productivity and competitiveness in China’s light industry sector. The organization helps to open doors for government investment, build appropriate infrastructure, and advise on product and market research, technological advice, and capital for the successful development of local, regional and national projects.
At the same time, CLIC is responsible for developing international exchanges between industry organizations and for promoting the development of global light industry. The organization works with foreign countries, such as the United States, Japan, and Europe, to promote the exchange and transfer of new technologies, learn from their models of success, and promote investment opportunities in light industry in China.
The China National Light Industry Council is a key figure in the development of China’s light industry sector and its competitive standing in the global market. Through its policies of research and development, technical transfer, and infrastructure development, the organization is helping to ensure the continued success and growth of the industry in the years to come.
