After the Second World War, London underwent a profound transformation from a global trading port to an offshore financial center. In 1964, London ranked among the top three ports in Europe, handling as much as 61.3 million tons of cargo. However, by the 1980s, with the widespread adoption of large ocean-going vessels and container technology, the local enclosed docks were geographically and structurally unable to meet the demands of modern cargo transport. As a result, the volume of goods handled dropped sharply to 25 million tons, causing London’s port to lose its leading position.

In today's highly competitive business environment, innovative collaboration has become an important way for companies to gain an advantage. In innovation-driven partnerships, large enterprises often collaborate with small technology firms, integrating the latter's core technologies into their own products to drive product innovation and expand market share. To secure collaboration opportunities, small enterprises also need to demonstrate to potential partners the application potential and market prospects of their technology integration.
