A new center for national science, another for industrial innovation and a third for advanced medicine will be key elements in the high-tech future of Hefei, Anhui province, according to a senior official.
Wu Cunrong, Hefei's Party chief, said the recent economic and social progress of the city has come as a result of a focus on high tech and specialization.
"For Hefei, its biggest advantages are science and education," said Wu, adding that these qualities provide "the best hope" for a city supervising four districts, four counties, one county-level city and Chaohu Lake.
