What they say

We decided to launch in the Xi'an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone in July 2013 after close consideration of Xi'an's strong educational advantages and talent pools, as well as its good investment environment. In the past four years' of growth, we have seen the development of the zone and we are enjoying the benefits brought by it. In recent years, the improved investment environment in the zone has attracted a large number of excellent enterprises and professionals, which has generated a healthy competition environment.

Since Plug and Play Tech Center launched its incubator department in the Xi'an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone in December 2015, we have been achieving prominent results with strong support from the local government and the zone's administration. In the future, Plug and Play will stand as the bridge to link the zone and the Silicon Valley in the United States, bringing more international projects and making contributions to innovation and entrepreneurship in the zone.

In recent years, the Xi'an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone has made remarkable progress, especially under the guidance of the "catching up and surpassing" goal. The third round of development for enterprises is ushering in a new stage of opportunities. With the progression of the Belt and Road, Xi'an has served as one of the key cities involved in the initiative, experienced tremendous opportunities and has already yielded fruitful achievements. Siemens' business is also expanding hand-in-hand with the development and expansion of the zone.
