Science park transforms into tech innovation hub

More than 160 overseas Chinese academicians and experts from 17 countries including the United States and Canada visited the Zhongguancun Exhibition Center and business incubators for returned Chinese professionals in late September to see the world-leading technologies and innovative working environment.

On a tour of the center at the same time last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping said that the Zhongguancun Science Park had become a banner for China's innovation and technological development and should play a better leading role in promoting the implementation of a national innovation-driven development strategy.

With the central government backing to build Zhongguancun into a technology innovation hub with global influence, local authorities explored a series of new policies and practices, said Yang Jianhua, deputy head of the Zhongguancun Administrative Committee.
