City development in the past decades has reshaped the landscape of Hangzhou. Qiantang River, used to stretch on the edge of the city, now “runs right through the heart of the city.” Since the establishment in 2019, QND’s mission is clear: to form a world-class smart manufacturing cluster, a demonstration zone for integrated development of industry and city for the Yangtze Delta, a long-term landmark platform for reform and opening up for Zhejiang, an integrated innovation and development zone for digital economy and smart manufacturing in the Hangzhou Bay.
It is an important step to develop modern service industries such as cultural and innovative industries and digital technology to meet the needs of the New District.
To promote high-quality development of digital technology, modern service industries such as cultural and innovative industries, we are now launching this competition. All of you are cordially invited to take part.
