Future Technology Center of the Bay Area, located in eastern coastal area of Cuiheng New District and to the north of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, is under smooth construction and is scheduled to open in July next year.

With an investment of 2.7 billion yuan, the center has a total construction area of 380,000 square meters. It is the first industrial park at the Zhongshan landing point of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, and also a benchmark project for cooperation between state-owned enterprises based in Shenzhen and Zhongshan.

Enterprises to move in the park will only need to focus on the research and development of core technologies and product manufacturing, as related supporting services will be provided by the park's operators.

The park aims to gather at least 200 companies including at least 35 high-tech enterprises, provide more than 5,000 jobs, establish an academician workstation, as well as to set up a university-enterprise cooperation training center, an industrial incubator and accelerator, a project roadshow center, and an equity investment center.

After going into operation, the park is expected to achieve a business income of over 5.6 billion yuan and an overall tax revenue of more than 542 million yuan.
