Gathering over 200 high-end scientific research projects, 447 technology enterprises, and more than 15000 scientific research talents... Nowadays, the Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone Shenzhen Park is thriving in the implementation and practice of a series of innovative systems. In August 2023, the State Council issued the Development Plan for the Shenzhen Industrial Park of the Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone. Over the past two years, as a major cooperation platform in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area with the theme of technological innovation, Hetao has always focused on strengthening the coordinated development and rule connection of Shenzhen Hong Kong technological innovation, attracting the gathering of scientific research elements, and driving the momentum of technological innovation here. Hetao is located in the border area between the northern part of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the central southern part of Shenzhen, with an area of approximately 3.89 square kilometers, including a 3.02 square kilometer Shenzhen park and a 0.87 square kilometer Hong Kong park. In the past two years, Hetao has actively explored new forms of "internationalization of scientific and technological innovation", focusing on promoting the construction of a systematic institutional design for cross-border flow of scientific research elements, including key policies such as international innovation talent flow, facilitation of scientific research material clearance, cross-border flow of scientific research data, cross-border use of scientific research funds, and cross-border protection and application of intellectual property rights. It has accumulated a number of achievement cases and promoted the "soft connectivity" of advanced scientific research rules between mainland China, Hong Kong, and the international community. Here, thanks to the widely used project manager system internationally, the project manager of Kunyun Technology's "High Performance AI Chip Project Based on Reconfigurable Data Flow" has autonomy in deciding specific research content, team building, execution plans, and is fully responsible for key aspects such as project application, team building, implementation promotion, fund management, and regular reporting. The project manager system fully empowers the research team with autonomy, minimizes administrative intervention, and eases the burden on researchers. With the project manager system, we can flexibly adjust project plans and execution strategies based on project progress and actual conditions, enhancing project adaptability and flexibility, "said Niu Xinyu, founder and CEO of Kunyun Technology. Kunyun Technology's project has made rapid progress as a result: the team has launched the reconfigurable data stream AI chip CAISA in just 3 years. Currently, the iterated chip has served thousands of customers, covering fields such as smart cities, smart energy, and intelligent manufacturing, helping the company to be selected for the 2024 National Specialized and New "Little Giant" Enterprise List. Supported by institutional innovation, the highlights of various key tasks in Hetao are diverse: implementing a "whitelist" clearance mode for personnel and vehicles, facilitating the entry and exit of scientific researchers, and significantly improving commuting efficiency; Five Hong Kong funded research institutions have achieved cross-border transfer of research funds through "Kehuitong", solving the problem of non enterprise research institutions having no legal basis for overseas transfer of research funds; As of July this year, Shenzhen Data Exchange has completed a total of 110 cross-border data transactions with a total amount of 334 million yuan, ranking among the top in the country in terms of transaction scale. The implementation of innovative systems has greatly enhanced the attractiveness of scientific research in Hetao. Major scientific research platforms such as the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area International Clinical Trial Collaboration Platform and the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area (Guangdong) Quantum Science Center, as well as over 10 research platforms from five of Hong Kong's top 100 universities, including the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Shenzhen Hong Kong Collaborative Innovation Research Institute, and eight research and development centers from Fortune 500 companies, including Starbucks (China) Innovation and Technology Center, have all settled in Hetao. The first mainland branch of the Hong Kong Science Park has also settled in Hetao. As of now, Hetao has cultivated listed companies such as Jingtai Technology and Junshengtai, three unicorn companies such as Future Robotics and Yuanrong Qixing, and 101 specialized and innovative companies such as Kunyun Technology and Niu Xin Semiconductor. Zhong Hai, Director of the Development Department of the Shenzhen Industrial Park of the Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, stated that the key to making Hetao a world-class scientific research hub lies in building a systematic institutional design for cross-border flow of scientific research elements. This is a comprehensive opening up to the outside world with 'global talent' as the core, facing the 'entire process of innovation' and advocating 'multiculturalism', "he said. (New Society)
