BRIDGE addresses bilateral research and industrial development between EU and China enhancing and integrating Grid-enabled technologies. The project has attracted major industrial and academic partners from Europe and China. The consortium consists of 13 partners, seven from Europe and six from China. Among them are industrial partners, research institutions and universities.

BRIDGE aims at demonstrating the benefits of Grid technology for international cooperation, in particular between Europe and China. BRIDGE addresses technical issues, which result from the long distance of the collaboration partners as well as from the conflicting goal of intense collaboration and protection of intellectual property rights.
