Cui Tongxiang, deputy director of the Tianjin High-Tech Area's administrative committee, said the zone accounts for less than one percent of the city's land but is home to one-fifth of its technology enterprises.
Home to a host of innovation platforms, including nine universities and three Haihe Laboratories, the zone has helped more than 400 companies secure over 5 billion yuan ($749 million) in unsecured loans.
