Ningbo National Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone

Ningbo National Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone (hereafter referred to as Ningbo Hi-Tech Park) is located to the east of downtown Ningbo and has easy connections to deep-water ports, highways and the Hangzhou Bay Bridge. It is a new scientific and technological town with convenient transportation, a complete infrastructure, beautiful environment and concentration of talented people. As a scientific innovation base in the south of the Yangtze River Delta, Ningbo Hi-Tech Park plays a very important role in the strategy of building Ningbo into an innovative city.

As a pioneer in the reform of talented people management, Ningbo Hi-Tech Park has founded Ningbo Incubation Park for Returned Students and the National Innovation & Incubation Base for High-Level Overseas Talented Personnel, which have become hubs for talented people and offers effective support to the construction of the innovative city of Ningbo. At present, among 50000 talented people work in the Park, including around 1000 returned overseas students and 200 foreign experts. 63 experts are selected members of national and provincial talented resource projects, and another 92 experts have been chosen for local talented resource projects.

So far, there have been some 400 innovative institutions in the Park, including IBM Lab, TCL R&D Center, Ningbo Public Technical Service Platform, National Test & Authentication Group Ningbo Center, China Safety Science and Technology Institute Ningbo Branch as well as 5 Academicians' Studios. The Park has provided open technical services for the restructure and upgrade of local enterprises.

Depending on some domestic leading and emerging companies, Ningbo Hi-Tech Park focuses on the development of new material industries and creates obvious competitive advantages in such niches as magnetic material, synthetic material and high-performance metal. With some leading companies and professional institutes, inside the Park, Ningbo Scientific and Technological City of New Material was established in August 2013. The Park wants to be built into a world class R&D center, becoming an innovative application base of new materials through an integrated technology chain, industry chain and finance chain.

The Park has founded "Ningbo Innovation Harbor" in its R&D Center as the venue for local scientific and technological events and achievement publishing. The Innovation Harbor sponsors about 100 activities every year, such as academic reports, scientific result release, agreement signing, technical training and scientific workshops. In addition, through the Innovation Competition, Creation and Design Competition and Entrepreneurship Competition, it has introduced talented personnel and innovation teams worldwide to the Park and promoted the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements.

Moreover, Ningbo Investment Place, a platform between capital and technology, has been established. It brings together some 100 private equity, venture capital and intermediary agencies. An investor's club, financial service alliance, ST financial service platform and other service agencies have been established.
