‘Shanghai Silicon Alley’ vividly portrayed

Surrounded by Jiangsu Road in the east, Yan’an Road W. in the south, Kaixuan Road in the west, Changning Road and Yuyuan Road in the north, and Wuyi Road and Dingxi Road in the center, the planned “Shanghai Silicon Alley” will be presented in the layout of two-by-two grids and built into a one-stop mass entrepreneurship and innovation neighborhood.

In the planned area are Shanghai Institute of Ceramics and Shanghai Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and a number of heavy weight sci-tech firms.

The future “Shanghai Silicon Alley” will be a combination of urban renewal and sci-tech innovation, a maker space and community college of mass entrepreneurship and innovation, according to a preliminary plan.

Changning was made a pilot of “Innovation China,” together with 38 other districts and industrial parks throughout the country by the China Association for Science and Technology.

At Dingxi Road, the SIMIC Valley homes a number of high-tech startups, which will mainly focus on the AI technology with supports from the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology.

The project is one of the five key pilot projects of the “Innovation China” campaign in Shanghai. The national campaign initiated by the China Association for Science and Technology helps incubate scientific achievements by gathering resources and funds.
