China Focuses Heavily On University Research On Storage

The difference between the Chinese and Western approach on energy storage is stark; the Chinese believe in university research, while Western dogma advocates the democratic approach involving entrepreneurs and independent research in small companies.

On the other hand, start-ups account for 9 and 11 percent in Europe’s and the America’s networks, while the number is 6 percent in Asia.
