HSP nurtures companies that care and make a difference

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.

"I know many other development zones across China," explained Li Xingwen, president of the Thunip Holdings Co Ltd, "and the service provided by HSP is among the best, both in quality and efficiency. It's not quite like a government office, because it gives more service than supervision."

The park's management say they have conducted many surveys of local companies to understand their needs and to improve management and services. They have also organized free training programs for executives.
