On Thursday, April 22, 2021, IFEZ held the First Innovation Growth Platform to strengthen two-way communication with resident companies. The event was organized in line with the expanding policy direction of free economic zones from development and foreign direct investment attraction to innovation-driven growth. Participants discussed building a consultative foundation involving industry-academia cooperation groups, research institutes, and industrial support organizations, and agreed to use the platform as a space to discover future industry-academia-research-government cooperation projects, strengthen business capabilities, and promote information exchange and networking among companies.
