Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei come closer for development

Cooperation on technology and innovation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is expected to be accelerated with the launch of more projects for the development of cutting-edge technologies and new plans for smoother exchange channels.

The three local governments of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei also said they will promote the growth of regional centers to fuel coordinated development in the region.

The national capital will advance the construction of the Jingjinji National Center of Technology Innovation, and guide and support innovative entities across the region, to jointly build startup incubation centers and pilot bases for shared outcomes, said Yin Yong, mayor of Beijing, while delivering the municipal government work report during the city's "two sessions" or the annual meetings of the local legislature held in late January.
