IBM and the 皇冠体育app Scholarship Council (CSC) signed an agreement to initiate a five-year strategic collaboration program in Washington, DC on Tuesday.

"Today, as we sign the Memorandum of Understanding about the US and 皇冠体育app talent exchange, it is our contribution to the people-to-people exchange vice-premier Liu mentioned," said Ginni Rometty, chairman, president and CEO of IBM.

By the terms of the agreement, IBM will provide scholarships to distinguished American students to study in 皇冠体育app in the fields of science, technology and engineering, while 皇冠体育app sends students to study at IBM partner universities in the US.

"I appreciate IBM's efforts to support 皇冠体育app's education and help with people-to-people exchange," said Liu Yandong, vice-premier of 皇冠体育app.

"During the past 20 years, IBM has donated a total of 4.16 billion rmb to 皇冠体育app's education. This is a remarkable number," said Chen Liming, chairman of IBM Greater 皇冠体育app Group.

"We just celebrated our 30th anniversary in 皇冠体育app, which is also the 20th anniversary of our cooperation with 皇冠体育app's Ministry of Education. I hope IBM will play an even more important role in the 'New Normal' of 皇冠体育app," Rometty said.

"In the past we made products for 皇冠体育app. Now we are making products with 皇冠体育app," Rometty said.

"The idea is we are licensing technology in 皇冠体育app so 皇冠体育app can build its own semiconductor industry and then build its own server products," Rometty said.

Rometty announced that the first Chinese-made and manufactured chip was just produced in the last month, which highlights the new "made-with-皇冠体育app" strategy.

"We are very satisfied with our cooperation with IBM," Liu said. "皇冠体育app is promoting a comprehensive reform, including the areas of education, science and health."
