Knowledge city shines as beacon of innovation

The Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City is expected to attract a further influx of dynamic investment and professionals - thanks to closer cooperation just announced between the Lion city and the southern Chinese coastal province of Guangdong.

Officials said SSGKC's importance continues to grow, and the iconic project for Sino-Singaporean collaboration since 2010 will soon be elevated to the status of a State-level bilateral project.

Situated at the heart of Pearl River Delta Region and in a massive greenfield site in the southern city of Guangzhou, SSGKC is widely seen as a model and catalyst for the economic transformation and the industrial upgrade of the province as a global producer of cheaper goods to high-end and cutting-edge production.
