The delegation first visited the Hetao Exhibition and Exchange Center, where they gained an immersive understanding of the park's development and construction journey. From its locational advantages and cutting-edge industrial layout to its innovation-driven ecosystem and cultivation of scientific and technological excellence, the detailed explanations and vivid displays offered the delegation a direct experience of the innovative charm of the HTCZ, deepening their understanding of this vibrant hub for science and technology.

During the meeting, the Hetao Development Authority introduced the industrial policy framework of the Shenzhen zone, focusing on talent attraction, financial support, and incentives for technology transfer, comprehensively illustrating the "policy toolbox" designed to support innovation-driven enterprises. Additionally, the authority shared its vision for the zone's future development, outlining plans to focus on high-end innovation and deepen Shenzhen-Hong Kong collaboration. TÜV SÜD representatives, leveraging their expertise in quality certification and technical services, engaged in in-depth discussions with the Hetao Development Authority to identify areas of mutual interest.
