In Chengdu (China) -the hometown of the giant pandas, there is a world-class science and technology zone equivalent to Silicon Valley in the US and Sophia Antipolis in France – the Chengdu Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone (CDHT).

At present, more than ten industrial development funds totaling over RMB 100 billion have already been set up. In addition, one-stop service is also provided for overseas talent in areas such as household registration, healthcare, residence status and application of entry and exit documents.
