The Dushu Lake Science & Education Innovation Zone (DLSEIZ) in SIP has attracted lots of students with its abundant educational resources and many startups and other businesses with its excellent environment for technology innovation and business operation.
The DLSEIZ is now home to more than 2,500 talents who play a leading role in their fields, and is well-known for its “global university town” which currently consists of 33 prestigious schools and 15 national-level research institutes.
“The DLSEIZ has been paying great attention to introducing high-quality educational resources from home and abroad to cultivate talents, and offers diverse high-end platforms and integrated industrial ecosystems to retain talents,” said a local official.
Favorable policies have allowed the zone to see an increasing number of schools and research institutes. The XJTLU Wisdom Lake Academy of Pharmacy, for instance, enjoyed a series of preferential policies for recruitment of professors, establishment of industrial institutions and building of innovation platforms. The generous subsidy from the local authority gave it strong support.
On the other hand, the DLSEIZ authorities have demonstrated high performance in continuously improving services for businesses. Last year, the whole zone saw the launch of nine provincial- and city-level key projects and the completion of 10 major projects.
Last month, AGIOE, a company which develops optical fiber sensor networks and digital asset management systems, broke ground on an R&D and manufacturing base in the zone.
In addition, about 100 events have been held under the “DLSEIZ Unique” program which, jointly sponsored by Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute, DLSEIZ Administrative Committee and several business service organizations, is designed to give businesses at different growth stages a helping hand in looking for partners and learning experience for their operations.
For the next step, the DLSEIZ hopes to create a better ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship.
