Science and Technology Daily: China Nano Valley to open in Guangzhou

A nano innovation industrial cluster, "China Nano Valley", will be built in Guangzhou, capital city of South China's Guangdong province.

The news came at a signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) inked by the Administrative Committee of Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (SSGKC), the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, and Science City (Guangzhou) Investment Group. 

According to the MoU, the cluster will bring in leading research teams and high-end projects to develop into a world-leading innovation industrial complex.

The industrial complex, which will cover an area of 1.1 square kilometers, will have parks for nano intelligent technology, nano life and health technology, nano energy and environmental technology, and nano super composite material technology.

According to the plan, the initial part of the nano intelligent technology park with an area of 300 mu (200,000 sq m) is already under construction, with topping-off scheduled by the end of this year.

Occupying a land area of 100 mu, the initial part is designed to accommodate talent apartments, facilities for research and development and incubation and offices for headquarters and commercial purposes.

The industrial cluster will be mainly involved in the transfer and industrialization of the latest scientific innovations of relevant technology at home and abroad, the aggregation of advanced and key industrial technology and intellectual property rights, and the development of a collection of major industrial projects.

More specifically, it will rally support from scientific research forces from home and abroad and work with leading enterprises to focus on the development of intelligent medicine, medical equipment, cutting-edge display technology and other advanced sectors to nurture a number of high-tech and innovative firms in connection with emerging industries.

In addition, it will strive for the globalized development of its industries, become the center of nano technology expansion and lead the growth of neighboring regions as it develops into a nano-based market valued in trillions of yuan.
