TUV Rheinland has hosted a delegation from China at its officials at the headquarters of TUV Rheinland Academy in Cologne, Germany that will support a strategic cooperation framework agreement for the Sino-German Industry 4.0 Demonstration and Training Center project.

The Sino-German Industry 4.0 Demonstration and Training Center aims to draw on the global network of TUV Rheinland to introduce the latest international technical resources and education system to the Shenzhen No. 3 Vocational School of Technology for the building of an advanced intelligent manufacturing demonstration production line and training center in Shenzhen, which is expected to be completed the end of 2019.
