Tech innovation hub takes shape

Haidian district in Northwest Beijing has become one of the most vibrant high-tech centers for technology innovation, as well as a hub for international technology communication.

Statistics showed that in 2013, Haidian district had 21,372 patents, a rise of 7.6 percent year on year.

After China's international technology transfer center and national technology transfer accumulation center were set up in the western region of Zhongguancun, Haidian's technology exchange was tipped to become more high-end, professional and international, officials said.
