For centuries, through to the present day, Britain has been known as a centre of innovation. Experts from around the world chose to come to the UK \u2013 to study in British institutions and to launch companies in our entrepreneur-friendly business environment. This environment has led many young Chinese innovators to make the UK their home and see it as a place in which to grow their business. Here Yuan Ren, commentator for the Guardian, speaks to five Chinese innovators in the UK.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The crime stopper<\/h3>\n

Cheng Tao,\u00a0Director of SpaceTimeLab, UCL<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor Tao is turning the stuff of futuristic spy movies into real life crime fighting with her work as director of SpaceTimeLab<\/a> at University College London. \u2018Intelpol\u2019 or \u2018intelligent policing\u2019 (as opposed to Interpol \u2013 the International Criminal Police Organisation), is the future for the Metropolitan Police, which in collaboration with UCL, already uses a \u2018big data\u2019 based algorithm that pinpoints crime hotspots to within a street or even part of a street.<\/p>\n

Going forward however, that technology will grow more advanced, creating live-predictions of where crime will happen. This will be based, in part, on historical crime data but will also reconfigure in real time, as crime happens, giving live instructions to both the policemen on the ground, and to those with the big picture in central command rooms.<\/p>\n

This \u2018Integrated Platform for Intelligent Policing\u2019 is what Professor Tao\u2019s SpaceTimeLab is currently developing with the Metropolitan police. It has been in testing for the last year and is soon expected to be in operational use.<\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>Tao\u2019s SpaceTimeLab is currently developing \u2018Intelligent Policing\u2019 with the Metropolitan police<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cNo one else has done location-based prediction like this\u201d, explains Tao. On a digital version of this platform, police officers would receive daily patrol instructions that would change and modify according to realities on the ground. While alerting officers to nearby crimes, for example, the programme\u2019s algorithm recalculates the best re-deployment and redistributions in space and time.<\/p>\n

The aim, says Cheng, is to reduce crime overall, and the intelligence even more city-specific, taking all the environmental factors into account. \u201cIt’s specially developed for the London weather\u201d, explains Cheng. In the future, Cheng is keen to make the software available in China and hopes that collaborations with a Chinese partner will yield further fruits in China\u2019s big cities, changing the way crime is tackled there as well.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The space engineer<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Fujia Chen, founder of\u00a0Oxford Space Structures<\/p>\n

\"Chen

Chen Fujia<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fujia Chen is driven today by the same intellectual hunger that brought her to the UK as a postgraduate student at Oxford University in 2006. Having come from an engineering background in China, she came to Oxford to embark on a PhD in zoology. Ten years later and Dr Chen is now straddling the fields of engineering and space design to produce innovative\u2026 baby products.<\/p>\n

Chen creates products that use \u201cspace technologies to revolutionise baby products.\u201d Her company\u2019s first product to market is the\u00a0SpaceCot<\/a> – a travel cot that unfolds in one second and folds again in three. Chen was inspired by\u00a0\u201cthe European Space Agency satellite that uncurls 30,000 miles above the earth\u201d, she says. So far, SpaceCot has secured more than \u00a3200k from The European Space Agency, UKTI and Innovation UK, and with a further \u00a3600k from private funding.<\/p>\n

My goal is to connect great UK design and innovation with the Chinese market<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chen is grateful to her alter mater Oxford University, and the Said Business School, for instilling in her the entrepreneurial spirit. \u201cIt was from there that I got the idea of entrepreneurship in technology,\u201d she says. Her MBA programme at the school was tailored to PhD students working in the sciences and nurtured the transfer of tech skills.<\/p>\n

Chen, who is from Shanghai, also sees her background in China as \u201ca blessing\u201d in her road to entrepreneurship. It not only helped her set up factory and supply chains in China, it also \u201chelped me to connect with the Chinese market, which is really keen on UK baby products,\u201d she says. The future for Oxford Space Structures is greater collaboration between China and the UK. \u201cMy goal is to connect great UK design and innovation with the Chinese market,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The social media scientist<\/h3>\n

Vivian Chan, CEO and founder of Spharrho.com<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vivian Chan<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine Facebook for scientists. A one-stop shop where you can find 60 million scientific articles all in one place, and a newsfeed of science news tailored specifically for you. This is Sparrho.com, a scientific search engine created by Vivian Chan.<\/p>\n

Chan who got her PhD in biochemistry from Cambridge University, created the platform out of frustration that finding up-to-date and relevant scientific information was like searching for a needle in a haystack.<\/p>\n

Sparrho gives users personalised results that come from \u201cblending AI with expert human curation\u201d, says Chan. Therefore users can find the science that matters to them and see it in an easily digestible newsfeed. In Chan\u2019s view, scientific knowledge should be accessible to the wider population, who are indirectly paying for much of the research through taxes, as opposed to just an elite few who are trained in it.<\/p>\n

I realised how difficult it was for taxpayers to find, access and understand cutting-edge science<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI was working in venture capital and we were investing in life science research,\u201d she says. \u201cI realised how difficult it was for taxpayers to find, access and understand cutting-edge science.\u201d Sparhho\u2019s aim therefore, is about \u201cdemocratising the information industry in a way that\u2019s never been done before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chan, a former\u00a0investment process manager originally from Australia,\u00a0now operates her company out of Cambridge, where she went to university. Her decision to set up her company in the UK was due to the tech talent and the community of \u201cproblem solvers\u201d that exist here. Chan also sees the UK\u2019s strong links with China to be promising, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence. \u201cAs CEO of an AI-driven start-up, I\u2019m keeping a close eye on China\u2019s excellent work in artificial intelligence and would love to work more closely with Chinese partners in the future,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The techno mum<\/h3>\n

Colleen Wong, founder and CEO of Techsixtyfour<\/p>\n

\"Colleen

Colleen Wong<\/p><\/div>\n

In the summer of 2015, Colleen Wong took her two children to a farm park where a seed of an idea was planted. \u201cI saw a mum running around looking for her child, and I wondered why we were not more connected with our younger children when we were so connected with everyone else,” she says.<\/p>\n

As a mother herself, Wong knew that giving kids smartphones was not the solution. \u201cThe problem is that over 95 percent of parents dislike their younger child using smartphones because of the accessibility to the internet, social media and games,\u201d Wong tells FOCUS. \u201cBut for peace of mind, they want to stay connected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wong began her search for an innovative answer, and created a wearable \u2018mobile phone\u2019 for young children. By April 2016, she sold her first Gator watch through her company Techsixtyfour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I wondered why we were not more connected with our younger children when we were so connected with everyone else<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The watch is now one of the leading \u2018wearable phones’ for kids in the UK \u2013 it can make and receive calls, but from no more than 13 people, and it acts as a tracker but is not connected to the internet.<\/p>\n

Originally from China, Wong has worked in France, Canada, Singapore as well as in the UK and China and has an MBA from INSEAD. Her background in investment banking has given her a good grounding in entrepreneurship and, she says, her China language skills have worked as \u201ca catalyst.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since most consumer electronics products are still made in China, she says. \u201cIt has helped me bring my product to market and bridge the gap between the two countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

T<\/b>he future of design<\/h3>\n

Huishan Zhang, designer and founder of fashion label Huishan Zhang<\/p>\n

\"Huishan

Huishan Zhang<\/p><\/div>\n

Huishan Zhang is the UK\u2019s hottest design import from China. With a professional ascent in the fashion world described as a \u201cmeteoric rise\u201d by various media outlets, Zhang is more inspired than ever by his cultural roots.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy Chinese heritage is very important to me, and the influence in the collections comes very naturally and spontaneously,\u201d says Zhang, who grew up in the coastal city of Qingdao, and moved abroad at the age of 17. \u201cI feel very honoured to have a platform to represent and promote what makes China special,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

His East-West inspirations are subtly visible in the many pieces he has created since graduating from Central Saint Martin\u2019s College of Art in London. Feminine and ethereal, the designs are not a mere \u2018modern twist\u2019 on traditional Chinese styles. His pieces flirt with textures, layers and embellishments by weaving in hints of the East whilst remaining wildly varied in colour and structure.<\/p>\n

His work has very much more been in keeping with the idea of \u2018Innovative China\u2019 than \u2018Made in China<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chinese craftsmanship and quality is something Zhang wants to showcase as a young, modern fashion designer, and so far, Zhang\u2019s work has very much been more in keeping with the idea of \u2018Innovative China\u2019 than \u2018Made in China\u2019. \u00a0But his appreciation of the past is still where his muse is to be found, Zhang reveals. \u201cIt often begins with me in a library, researching through the eras, reading literature and watching old and modern films from a mix of cultures. I never know what rabbit hole I\u2019ll find myself down\u201d.<\/p>\n

London is where his brand is based. \u201cI love London as a city, there is a diverse mix of cultures, and it\u2019s hard not to feel inspired here. I\u2019ve been very supported by the industry and encouraged to create and push the boundaries \u2013 as a designer, that\u2019s very uplifting.\u201d<\/p>\n
