The establishment of Tiankai Higher Education Innovation Park was an important and strategic decision made by Tianjin to fully implement the strategy for invigorating synergy between science and education and promoting development via innovation.
With the support of key universities and state-level innovation platforms in Tianjin, Tiankai Higher Education Innovation Park is aimed at becoming a source of scientific and technological innovation, which will make breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields, focus on the commercialization of scientific and technological results, and promote the integrated development of innovative and industrial chains.
By pooling scientific and technological resources, it features a high concentration of innovative elements, high-end talents, the fully-fledged development of scientific and technological services and financial service products, and high-quality auxiliary facilities.
Incorporating maker spaces, incubation centers for scientific and technological companies and university-based scientific and technological parks, it strives to become a first-class incubation hub for scientific and technological results. It will also help university teachers and students unleash their potential in innovation and entrepreneurship and facilitate the emergence of scientific and technological firms with first-class entrepreneurship environments.
Nankai district, where main part of the science & technology innovation park is located, has excellent transport, higher education and research resources. It has become a popular destination for people to accelerate the commercialization of their research findings, engage in innovation and launch their personal business ventures.
The park will make full use of its educational resources to attract innovation & entrepreneurship-related teachers and students and scientific and technological researchers from home and abroad.
With its support, more high-quality innovative achievements are expected to facilitate economic and social development, incorporate market demand, and make universities more creative and energetic.
To date, Tianjin has closely focused on the application of research results, sci-tech finance, innovation and entrepreneurship, talent cultivation and an alumni-related economy and rolled out 34 sets of supportive policies to support the development of the science & technology innovation park.
