The fast-changing Xiongan New Area in Hebei is seeing a surge of entrepreneurial and innovative activity.

The Xiongan Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park, which has just marked its third anniversary, has already gathered more than 280 technology companies and over 3,000 innovative talents.

Xiongan Xuanhu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is one of them. The company focuses on using modern biotechnology for innovative research, development, and industrialization in the traditional Chinese medicine field. It was initially founded in Nanjing and moved to Xiongan in recent years, with many employees relocating as well.

"We value both the collaborative innovation atmosphere here and the thoughtful policies and development opportunities," said Liu Haodong, a laboratory researcher at the company, in an interview.

It is understood that Xiongan not only provides top scientists with substantial research funding and living subsidies, but also offers outstanding recent graduates subsidies for five years after joining: 3,000 yuan per month for doctoral graduates, 2,000 yuan per month for master's graduates, and 1,000 yuan per month for undergraduate graduates. After obtaining the "Xiongcai Card," they can also enjoy thoughtful services such as green channels for medical treatment and dedicated government service channels.

"The park's talent policies have greatly reduced pressure on our operations!" "We are an award-winning unit of the 'Xiongcai Cup.' In addition to free office space, our children attend newly built schools nearby, which is very convenient!" "It takes only about ten minutes to walk from the talent housing to work, avoiding the crowding of commuting by public transport." In interviews with reporters, business operators in the park praised Xiongan's thoughtful approach to attracting and gathering talent.

To achieve development, in addition to supporting talent policies, a sound intellectual property protection system and technology transfer system are also crucial.

Walking into the service hall of the Xiongan Intellectual Property Protection Center, reporters learned good news: in June 2026, the China National Intellectual Property Administration officially approved the construction of a national-level intellectual property protection center in Xiongan New Area. This means that patent pre-examination for key industries such as next-generation information technology and new materials in the new area can be handled "on arrival," and the patent authorization period has been shortened from an average of 15 months to within 3 months.

Prior to this, the Xiongan New Area Intellectual Property Protection Center and the Hebei Provincial Intellectual Property Protection Center jointly signed an agreement to make full use of the provincial protection center's pre-examination resources and provide rapid patent examination services for relocated entities. Reporters observed that the center not only provides public intellectual property services such as patent navigation, rights protection assistance, and information retrieval, but also has a permanent exhibition to vividly popularize knowledge related to intellectual property for visitors.

Near the hall of the Xiongan New Area Intellectual Property Protection Center is the Xiongan Scientific and Technological Achievements Exhibition, Trading, and Transformation Center. On the center's large screen, information such as project names, releasing units, and reference prices of scientific research achievements is displayed on a rolling basis. Here, a dedicated team of technology managers acts as "science and technology matchmakers," proactively connecting high-quality achievements of researchers in Xiongan New Area with market demand, precisely matching hardcore laboratory discoveries with industry.

Meng Youtong, assistant general manager of Xiongan Guochuang Center Technology Co., Ltd., told reporters that the Xiongan Scientific and Technological Achievements Trading and Transformation Center can provide one-stop services such as listing, public announcement, transaction price settlement, and contract registration for scientific and technological achievements with high technological maturity. In the center's roadshow hall, innovative enterprises and research teams can also communicate via video with global investors to list intellectual property achievements or use them as collateral for financing.

Through the center's matchmaking, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Hebei Communications Investment Group jointly established an industrialization company to carry out in-depth scientific and technological cooperation; North China Electric Power University and China Datang Group Technology Innovation Co., Ltd., which has settled in Xiongan, jointly carried out "research on the layout of high-value carbon dioxide utilization scenarios"; Beijing Jiaotong University and MCC22 Group Xiongan Development Co., Ltd. reached cooperation on the research and development of "multi-scenario intelligent rebar-planting robot technology and equipment"...

With the "bridge" built, the path of integrated production, learning, and research becomes smooth. The innovation chain, industrial chain, and talent chain resonate at the same frequency, converging into a contemporary thoroughfare for Xiongan's new quality productive forces to surge forward.
