China granted its 2019 National Science and Technology Awards, the nation's highest scientific honor, on Jan 10, and six projects from Guangzhou Development District (GDD) were among the winners.

The number of winners from GDD has increased by 50 percent year-on-year. Five out of the six winners are companies and four of them are high-tech companies.
