China's tech hub unveils measures to boost innovation


HANGZHOU -- The eastern Chinese tech city of Hangzhou, home to e-commerce giant Alibaba and rising AI star DeepSeek, has announced a series of measures to further elevate its status as a high-level innovation hub.

The measures are aimed at enhancing high-level innovation platforms, promoting the technology transfer and application, and strengthening the role of enterprises as the main drivers of technological innovation, Lou Xiuhua, head of the municipal bureau of science and technology, said at a press conference.

Among the measures is a partnership plan, which encourages collaboration between tech innovation platforms, universities, enterprises and industrial chains.

The city will accelerate its construction of facilities and foundational projects such as large-scale models and computing power infrastructure. More computing power vouchers will also be allocated, Lou said.

Computing power vouchers are a government subsidy tool designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) access more computing resources at lower costs, aiming to promote innovative applications of AI technologies and digital transformation.

Additionally, Hangzhou will launch an "AI+" initiative to promote the integration and application of AI across industries. It will also introduce a reform related to the application of technological achievements, encouraging universities and research institutions to license their technological fruits to SMEs under a "use first, pay later" model.

Hangzhou, the capital of the economic powerhouse province of Zhejiang, has developed itself as an important hub in the internet and tech industries, driving advancements in e-commerce, AI and digital transformation.

We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to the

New Frost-Resistant Sand-Control Agent

  Across China: Chinese researchers develop new frost-resistant sand-control agent LANZHOU -- A Chinese research team has developed a chemical sand-fixation material suitable for use in cold desert regions, which is expected to serve as a new tool for sand control and desertification prevention in such areas. The application of chemical materials to stabilize shifting sands is one of the primary methods of desertification control. This approach involves the use of adhesive chemical substances to bind loose sand particles together, thereby mitigating encroachment by wind-blown sand. However, conventional chemical sand-fixation materials have been mainly designed for hot and arid regions. In colder, high-altitude or high-latitude desert regions, such as the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau, which are located in Northwest, Southwest and North China, cooler temperatures often render traditional methods of sand control ineffective. Researchers from the Northwest Institut...

Bamboo In The World’s Longest Sea Bridge

  How Chinese engineers used bamboo in the world’s longest sea bridge, and more Chinese scientists have been working on new technologies to make stronger and more durable bamboo-based materials for large-scale infrastructure, reinforcing the country’s position as a leader in the emerging eco-friendly industry. Bamboo, which is known for its rapid growth and high strength, was engineered into composite panels used on the scenic platforms that stretch for kilometres along the  Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge , the official Science and Technology Daily reported on Wednesday. Six years after they were installed on the bridge – the world’s largest sea crossing – the bamboo-based panels have withstood sunlight, typhoons and seawater corrosion, remaining “as solid as ever”, according to the report. Lou Zhichao, from Nanjing Forestry University’s Bamboo Research Institute, said most of the world’s bamboo was grown in developing countries. “China is not only the world’s largest bamboo pr...

Blueprint Of Human Brain Cortex

  Chinese scientists uncover complex blueprint of human brain cortex BEIJING -- Researchers from the Institute of Automation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed the intrinsic relationship between the topological structure of human brain cortex connections and genetic characteristics, according to a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience. Fan Lingzhong, a researcher at the institute, explained that neural networks operate as human think, learn, or perceive the world, with trillions of connections enabling rapid information transfer. The study addresses a fundamental question: How do these intricate connections form, and why do distinct brain regions exhibit such orderly distribution across the cortex? "The brain begins following a genetic 'blueprint' during embryonic development," Fan noted. Researchers proposed a hypothesis: genetic encoding and cortical connectivity are not directly correlated due to the vast numerical disparity between genes and...
