Tianjin, August 25th (Xinhua) -- Walking into the first floor lobby of Building 6 in the core area of Tiankai Higher Education Science and Technology Innovation Park in Nankai District, Tianjin, Xu Zijian, Executive Director of Tianjin Tiankai Ruilai Co., Ltd., warmly welcomed people entering and exiting the building to taste fresh peaches together.
As one of the second batch of enterprises settled in Tiankai Higher Education Science and Technology Innovation Park, Tianjin Tiankai Ruilai Co., Ltd. has independently developed a batch of new agricultural and forestry drugs and obtained a number of agricultural invention patents relying on the State Key Laboratory of Element Organic Chemistry of Nankai University and the National Engineering Research Center of Pesticides.
The fresh peaches shared in the event are the experimental fruits that the company collaborated with an orchard in Liaoning Province to cultivate. The technical cooperation has also brought this "innovative sweetness" to Tianjin, spanning mountains and rivers.
The Tiankai Higher Education Science and Technology Innovation Park, which officially opened in May this year, is a key science and technology innovation park in Tianjin. Its goal is to build it into an important platform that gathers scientific and technological advantages and helps promote the coordinated development of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region. Tiankai Park is centered around Nankai University, Tianjin University, and Tianjin Medical University in Nankai District, with the Xiqing District University City and Jinnan District Haihe Education Park as two wing expansion areas, covering a total area of 69 square kilometers.
Xu Zijian and his colleagues invited people entering and exiting the building to taste fresh peaches together.
Not only a sweet and delicious fresh peach, but also many innovative "fruits" produced by Tiankai Garden.
The team led by Professor Li Wei from the School of Chemistry at Nankai University possesses the core technology of preparing bio aviation kerosene using castor oil. With the help of a technology transfer agent, they have completed enterprise registration in Tiankai Park and are now connected to the industrial park. They are about to start constructing a 10000 ton demonstration facility. "Putting talent at the center is the key to truly walking the path of industrialization." Li Wei felt confident in the smooth development of the enterprise.
Kaier Instrument Co., Ltd., founded by Feng Shaowu, a doctoral student from Tianjin University, was one of the first companies to settle in Tiankai Park. The company focuses on the research and development of implantable medical device testing equipment, transforms its patented technology into products, and uses technology to reduce risks for medical treatment. It has now received nearly 16 million yuan in orders.
"The first batch of 17 teacher research achievement incubation enterprises settled in Nankai University, led by academician achievements, have gathered a group of outstanding scientists' applied achievements in low-carbon environmental protection, effective resource utilization, artificial intelligence, life medicine and other fields, and are expected to attract an investment of 200 million yuan." said Chen Yulu, President of Nankai University.
Tiankai Park is not only an innovative carrier, but also provides multi-dimensional support for entrepreneurs in technology, finance, and achievement transformation while enriching space.
At the end of July, the Agricultural Bank of China Tianjin Tiankai Higher Education Science and Technology Innovation Park Branch was approved to open by the Tianjin Regulatory Bureau of the State Financial Supervision and Administration. This is the first financial institution to open since the opening of Tiankaiyuan. In the future, more financial and other service institutions will settle in to accelerate the empowerment of enterprises.
"Full cycle and all-round empowerment services will accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements from 'intelligence' to 'gold'. As one of the leaders of several entrepreneurship incubation funds that have settled in Tiankai Park, He Yongjun, the founding partner of Beiyang Haitang Fund, is quite positive about the development of Tiankai Park.".

In the enterprise service hall of Tiankai Park, a "financial supermarket" is particularly eye-catching. How to apply for funds? What materials are needed? The financing difficulties that start-ups are prone to face are all addressed by dedicated personnel who provide one-stop services here. And a few steps away, there are various windows for handling certificate matters, where almost all the questions of enterprise leaders can be answered.
"By establishing a service system such as the 'Chief Service Officer', various problems encountered by enterprises can be solved, 'one thing at a time', allowing enterprises to truly use their time for their own development and operation." said Liu Jinyou, Deputy Director of the Nankai District Government Service Office in Tianjin.
At the end of 2022, Tianjin proposed the construction of Tiankai Higher Education Science and Technology Innovation Park. In April this year, Tianjin issued 34 policies to support the innovative development of Tiankai Park. In May, Tiankai Higher Education Science and Technology Innovation Park officially opened... Behind the busy construction and development is Tianjin's determination to leverage its advantages in science and technology innovation.
"The plan is to introduce and incubate nearly 1000 technology-based enterprises by 2027, attracting over 5000 high-level talents," said Zhu Yubing, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Tianjin Science and Technology Bureau.
Relying on more than 50 higher education institutions in Tianjin, such as Nankai University and Tianjin University, Tiankai Park is exploring an innovative development model of "discipline+talent+industry", striving to cultivate more enterprises with independent intellectual property rights and core competitiveness. Since its opening more than three months ago, Tiankai Park has attracted more than 140 enterprises and projects, the vast majority of which are technology innovation oriented enterprises.
