G60 corridor to boost innovation

Editor's note: The Yangtze River Delta region, one of China's most economically innovative regions, is of strategic significance to the country's modernization. Two experts share their views on the issue with China Daily.

Since its inception in 2016, the G60 Science and Innovation Corridor in the Yangtze River Delta region, which includes nine cities such as Shanghai, Hangzhou of Zhejiang province and Hefei of Anhui province, has developed into an important national platform driving the integrated development of the region.

The number of G60 corridor-based companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange Science and Innovation Board exceeds one-fifth of the national total. These companies have formed a cross-regional integrated platform centered on "science and technology innovation plus industry". The corridor has pioneered a new development path driven by innovation.
