The rapidly evolving Xiongan New Area in Hebei is witnessing a surge of entrepreneurial and innovative activity.

The Xiongan Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park, which has just celebrated its third anniversary, has already gathered over 280 technology enterprises and more than 3,000 innovative talents.

Xiongan Xuanhu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is one of them. The company focuses on using modern biotechnology for innovative research, development, and industrialization in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. It was initially founded in Nanjing and recently relocated to Xiongan, with many of its staff moving along with it.

"We value both the collaborative innovation atmosphere here and the heartwarming policies and development opportunities," said Liu Haodong, a laboratory researcher at the company, in an interview.

It is understood that Xiongan not only provides top scientists with substantial research funding and living subsidies, but also offers outstanding recent graduates monthly subsidies for five years after joining: 3,000 yuan for doctoral graduates, 2,000 yuan for master's graduates, and 1,000 yuan for bachelor's graduates. After obtaining the "Xiongcai Card," they can also enjoy heartwarming services such as green channels for medical treatment and exclusive channels for government affairs.

"The park's talent policies have greatly reduced the pressure on our operations!" "We are an award-winning unit of the 'Xiongcai Cup.' In addition to free office space, our children attend nearby newly built schools, which is very convenient!" "The talent housing is only a ten-minute walk from work, so there's less crowding on public transportation during commutes." In interviews with reporters, business operators in the park praised Xiongan's thoughtful approach to attracting and retaining talent.

To achieve development, in addition to supporting talent policies, a sound intellectual property protection system and technology transfer system are also crucial.

Walking into the service hall of the Xiongan Intellectual Property Protection Center, reporters learned good news — in June 2026, the China National Intellectual Property Administration officially approved the construction of a national-level intellectual property protection center in Xiongan New Area. This means that patent pre-examination for key industries such as next-generation information technology and new materials in the new area can be handled "on the spot," and the patent authorization period has been shortened from an average of 15 months to less than 3 months.

Prior to this, the Xiongan New Area Intellectual Property Protection Center and the Hebei Provincial Intellectual Property Protection Center jointly signed an agreement to fully utilize the pre-examination resources of the provincial protection center and provide rapid patent examination services for relocated units.

Reporters observed that the center not only provides public intellectual property services such as patent navigation, rights protection assistance, and information retrieval, but also features a permanent exhibition to vividly educate visitors about intellectual property-related knowledge.

Near the hall of the Xiongan Intellectual Property Protection Center is the Xiongan Scientific and Technological Achievements Exhibition, Trading, and Transformation Center. On the center's large screen, information such as project names, publishing units, and reference prices of scientific research achievements scrolls continuously.

Here, a dedicated team of technology managers acts as "science and technology matchmakers," proactively connecting high-quality achievements of Xiongan's researchers with market demand, precisely matching hardcore laboratory discoveries with industry.

Meng Youtong, assistant to the general manager of Xiongan Guochuang Center Technology Co., Ltd., told reporters that the Xiongan Scientific and Technological Achievements Trading and Transformation Center can provide one-stop services such as listing, public announcement, transaction price settlement, and contract registration for scientific and technological achievements with high technological maturity. In the center's roadshow hall, innovative enterprises and research teams can also communicate via video with global investors to list intellectual property achievements or use them as collateral for financing.

Through the center's matchmaking, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Hebei Transportation Investment Group jointly established an industrialization company to carry out in-depth scientific and technological cooperation; North China Electric Power University and China Datang Corporation Science and Technology Innovation Co., Ltd., which is located in Xiongan, jointly conducted research on the "layout of high-value carbon dioxide utilization scenarios"; Beijing Jiaotong University and the Xiongan Development Co., Ltd. of the 22nd Metallurgical Group reached cooperation on the research and development of "multi-scenario intelligent rebar planting robot technology and equipment"…

With the "bridge" built, the path of integrating industry, academia, and research has become smooth. The innovation chain, industrial chain, and talent chain resonate at the same frequency, converging into a contemporary thoroughfare for Xiongan's new quality productive forces to surge forward.
