The implementation of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan and the promotion of the Belt and Road initiative give Beijing and Hong Kong further impetus to cooperate on innovation and entrepreneurship.

One of the event sponsors, TGN Tusholdings, a company focused on offering entrepreneurial training and accelerating the growth of newly established enterprises, recently signed an agreement with the Zhongguancun Innoway to build a TGN Beijing Space in the high-tech zone.

The agreement means that the Zhongguancun-Hong Kong innovative resources linkage will gather more talents and attract high-quality global financing, promoting internationalization of Zhongguancun's entrepreneurship.

Zhongguancun is one of the country's most entrepreneurial and innovative platforms. Cross-border integration and other aspects of the new economy are cradled there, adding to its increasing influence.
