China is getting a new technology transfer center this October - the first it has cooperated with a foreign partner, in fact - at the high-tech Zhongguancun Haidian innovation zone, in Beijing, where it will connect science parks with high-tech companies.
Beijing's Haidian district is of course known for its many good universities mixed in with high-tech companies, but now it has its eyes fixed on something seemingly different - finance. It aims to build itself into a tech-financial innovation hub.
Well, perhaps not so strange. In the first half of this year, 111 more companies involved in finance moved to Haidian, bringing the total number to 1,740.
One high-tech information-security provider that was established in 2006 is getting a lot of intellectual support from the Haidian Science Park (HSP), which has given it a very high rate of annual growth.
Beijing's Haidian district is looking for ways to save energy, cut emissions, and develop an environmentally friendly lifestyle, local officials have said.
Even though the administrative committee of the Zhongguancun Haidian Science Park (HSP) is actually a government organization, it does not quite act like one, according to the head of a local company - it's more service-oriented.
A high-tech company in Beijing's Haidian Science Park (HSP) that has been cooperating with Tsinghua (Qinghua) University, one of China's top schools, is quickly becoming a leader in the information technology industry and related fields.
While technological developments and buzzwords may be everyday stuff in the developed world these days, they are becoming no less so in China, especially in a science park in Beijing, where they have even gotten some more attention.
There's no question about it: we do live in an uncertain economic climate. But, one thing that is not uncertain is that companies that ignore China's innovative ability and role in global economic recovery do so at their own risk.
Have you found your roadmap to navigate the future?
Good service, and plenty of technological resources and talent and universities in the area - those were the reasons one telecoms company made the move to Beijing's Haidian Science Park, according to its board chairman.
Executives of high-tech companies in the Haidian Science Park told China Daily's Chai Hua about the sort of environment, the services, and even the officials they have and the benefits, as well as their feeling about doing business there.
Huawei Digital Technology Co Ltd, the Beijing branch of the world's No 2 telecommunication equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, is now building its biggest domestic R&D center in the capital city's Zhongguancun Haidian Science Park.
