Zongshuai owns expertise in both manufacturing and intellectual property. Before joining Cambridge Industrial Innovation Policy (CIIP), Zongshuai worked as a senior intellectual property analyst in a multinational company’s R&D centre in Singapore. The three-year experiences provided him with hands-on knowledge in innovation and advanced technology management. Additionally, Zongshuai is qualified to practise law in China.

In 2022, he was awarded the master of laws (LLM) specialising in intellectual property laws with distinction by the University of Edinburgh. Before that, Zongshuai acquired his first master’s degree specialising in technology management from the National University of Singapore in 2018 and a bachelor’s degree in automotive engineering from Jilin University in China.
Zongshuai hopes to contribute his interdisciplinary experiences to help governments and industrial organisations in the perspective of technology policy to drive economic development.
