The event successfully facilitated the collision between international innovation concepts and Zhengzhou's local industrial needs.
The Zhengzhou Industrial Technology Innovation Research Institute was established on September 5, built through cooperation between the Zhengzhou Municipal Government and the Yangtze River Delta National Technology Innovation Center. Both parties will achieve integrated development in evaluation and decision-making projects, core operational teams, and gathering global innovation resources. By effectively introducing various innovation resources from the Yangtze River Delta region and learning from reform and innovation experiences, they will explore an innovation model that closely combines effective government and efficient markets, promoting cross-regional coordinated development between Zhengzhou and the Yangtze River Delta region.
Currently, Zhengzhou is integrating into the global innovation network with a more open attitude, continuously expanding new spaces for international science and technology cooperation through building international cooperation platforms, promoting bidirectional enterprise openness, and strengthening international talent introduction.
Wei Ningdi, Vice Chairman of the Zhengzhou CPPCC and Director of the Zhengzhou Science and Technology Bureau, stated that in the future, Zhengzhou will continue to create a market-oriented, rule-of-law-based, and internationalized first-class business environment, providing solid guarantees and quality services for all types of innovation entities.
