In the rapidly evolving Xiong'an New Area in Hebei Province, a surge of entrepreneurial and innovative activity is underway. The Xiong'an Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park, which just celebrated its third anniversary, has already attracted more than 280 technology enterprises and over 3,000 innovative talents. Xiong'an Xuanhu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is one of them. The company focuses on leveraging modern biotechnology for innovative research, development, and industrialization in the traditional Chinese medicine sector. Initially founded in Nanjing, it relocated to Xiong'an in recent years, with many of its staff moving along with it.

"We value both the collaborative innovation atmosphere here and the heartwarming policies and development opportunities," said Liu Haodong, a laboratory researcher at the company, in an interview. It is understood that Xiong'an not only provides top scientists with substantial research funding and living subsidies, but also offers outstanding recent graduates monthly subsidies for five years after joining: 3,000 yuan for doctoral graduates, 2,000 yuan for master's graduates, and 1,000 yuan for bachelor's graduates. After obtaining the "Xiongcai Card," they can also enjoy heartwarming services such as green channels for medical treatment and exclusive channels for government affairs.

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

To achieve development, in addition to supporting talent policies, a sound intellectual property protection system and technology transfer framework are also crucial. Walking into the service hall of the Xiong'an Intellectual Property Protection Center, reporters learned some good news—in June 2026, the China National Intellectual Property Administration officially approved the construction of a national-level intellectual property protection center in Xiong'an 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 processed "on arrival," shortening the patent authorization period from an average of 15 months to within 3 months. Prior to this, the Xiong'an New Area Intellectual Property Protection Center and the Hebei Provincial Intellectual Property Protection Center jointly signed an agreement, fully utilizing the provincial center's pre-examination resources to provide rapid patent examination services for relocated units. Reporters observed that the center not only provides public intellectual property services such as patent navigation, rights protection assistance, and information retrieval, but also features a permanent exhibition to vividly educate visitors about intellectual property.

Near the hall of the Xiong'an New Area Intellectual Property Protection Center is the Xiong'an Scientific and Technological Achievements Exhibition, Trading, and Transformation Center. On the center's large screen, information such as project names, publishing units, and reference prices of scientific research achievements scrolls continuously. Here, a dedicated team of technology managers acts as "technology matchmakers," proactively connecting high-quality research achievements from Xiong'an New Area's researchers with market demand, precisely matching hardcore laboratory discoveries with industry. Meng Youtong, assistant to the general manager of Xiong'an Guochuang Center Technology Co., Ltd., told reporters that the Xiong'an Scientific and Technological Achievements Trading and Transformation Center can provide one-stop services for technologically mature achievements, including listing, public announcement, transaction payment settlement, and contract registration. In the center's roadshow hall, innovative enterprises and research teams can also engage in video exchanges with global investors, listing intellectual property achievements or using them as collateral for financing. Through the center's facilitation, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Hebei Transportation Investment Group jointly established an industrialization company to carry out in-depth technological cooperation; North China Electric Power University and China Datang Corporation Science and Technology Innovation Co., Ltd., which has settled in Xiong'an, jointly conducted "Research on High-Value Utilization Scenarios of Carbon Dioxide"; Beijing Jiaotong University and MCC22 Group Xiong'an 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 integrating production, academia, and research has become smooth. The innovation chain, industrial chain, and talent chain resonate at the same frequency, converging into a contemporary thoroughfare for Xiong'an's new quality productive forces to surge forward.
