What they say

The signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement will create more opportunities for CSGKC. The agreement will provide case studies and experiences to CSGKC, which is the only pilot zone of intellectual property use and protection reform in China.

The knowledge city, at the frontier of China's reform and opening-up, needs to strengthen intellectual property protection with more policies. It also needs to demonstrate its strategic positioning and forward-looking characteristics to be a globally influential knowledge center.

Peng Sen, president of the China Society of Economic Reform

CSGKC needs to set carbon-neutrality goals when creating development plans for upcoming years. Lower carbon emission and carbon neutrality are must-do tasks in promoting innovation and sustainable development.

Pan Jiahua, director of the Institute for Urban and Environmental Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences

CSGKC has to accelerate the construction of an industrial park to combine production and research under one roof. It also needs a system to give talent the chance to demonstrate their intelligence and provide funds to support innovation.
