Tianjin unveils plans for industrial park to boost higher-level innovation

Tianjin is expected to gather pace amid its push for higher-level innovation, supported by the launch of the Tiankai Higher Education Innovation Park, an incubation hub and high-tech industrial park, in the North China municipality, officials of local universities said.

Their comments were made during a media event announcing the progress of the park's inauguration ceremony, which will be held on Thursday, along with the opening of the seventh World Intelligence Congress.

Construction of the new park will be supported by two major domestic institutions — Tianjin University and Nankai University — to better serve entrepreneurs and high-tech and innovative enterprises, they added.
