Tianjin is expected to gather pace amid its push for higher-level innovation, supported by the launch of the Tiankai Higher Education Innovation Park, an incubation hub and high-tech industrial park, in the North China municipality, officials of local universities said.
The project is part of the municipality's goal to cultivate a leading global industrial hub for such players, the officials said.
The park will include facilities located in three downtown districts in the coastal city, according to the plan.
A major part of the park is set in the Nankai district and will be built based on a former science and technological park near the main campuses of the two neighboring universities, with a construction area of 1 square kilometer.
The other two parts, covering 0.17 sq km, will rise near the campuses of two universities in southern Tianjin's Jinnan district. An industrial town of 24.79 sq km will also be built in Xiqing district to facilitate the development of the park.
