Hangzhou High-Tech Zone (Binjiang)

Hangzhou High-Tech Zone (Binjiang) is formed by integrating the management systems of Hangzhou National High-Tech Zone and Hangzhou Binjiang District, occupying a total area of about 92 square kilometers. Established in 1990, the High-Tech Zone is one of the state-level hi-tech industrial zones of the first batch approved by the State Council. The activation block is located in the original institutes and colleges district to the north of the Qiantang River. It is not only the birthplace of the High-Tech Zone but also the innovation source of high and new technology as well as the large incubator of small and medium-size tech-based enterprises. Binjiang District was established on the south bank of the Qiantang River in December 1996, governing 3 sub-districts. Now there are 51 communities and the permanent resident population reaches 320,000. The management systems of two districts were adjusted in June 2002, and "two names but one leadership" system was implemented. It is operated according to the mode of a development zone, and meanwhile the functions of local party committees and governments are exercised. Hence, a new period of construction and development has been started since then.

By expressing the advantages in system, mechanism, management, service and location, it has attracted innovation resources, optimized innovation environment, perfected regional innovation system continuously, and accelerated the cultivation of innovation-driven economic development growing endogenously. Rapid and sound development has been realized for the economy and society.
