Hefei zone advances commercialization of tech achievements

The Hefei National High-Tech Industry Development Zone – located in Hefei, the capital of East China's Anhui province – is mobilizing the commercialization of its technological achievements.

It has sent officials to domestic and international research institutions to help carry out project discoveries, commercial explorations, planning, transformations and services on a regular basis.

The program aims to cultivate emerging industries and future industries in the zone.

Innovative projects with a strong potential and disruptive effects are being attracted, paving the way for the so-called "first mile" in the commercialization of its technological achievements.

"Our company mainly focuses on the development of high-performance power management chips, which can be applied in the fields of automotive electronics, new energy devices and more," said Professor Cheng Lin from the Institute of Microelectronics at the University of Science and Technology of China.

With the support from the high-tech zone in Hefei, more and more innovative outcomes from Cheng's university are transitioning from the laboratory to the market.

In the high-tech zone, efforts are being made to provide comprehensive support – ranging from assisting in providing offices, to completing company registration and offering financing guidance services.

They also range from producing professional financing business plans, to organizing roadshow activities, helping enterprises address financing issues and providing startup capital.

After the projects are implemented, the high-tech zone will continue to facilitate the settlement of personnel, their children's education, medical services, professional title benefits and strengthen policy compliance to create a favorable business environment.
