An international scientists community was inaugurated in Wujing town, Minhang district on Oct 25, marking the town's first community.

The new community, located in the Grand Neobay – a sprawling innovation-driven function area – spans nearly 80,000 square meters, with a construction area of 265,000 square meters, designed to accommodate immediate move-in needs.

Wujing Town has also established a talent work alliance in collaboration with local universities and institutions – providing 40 specialized services for scientific teams and high-level talent.

Additionally, the town has signed a cooperation agreement with Science Pictorial, China's first comprehensive popular science magazine, which will publish a special edition focusing on Wujing's tech innovations by the end of the year.

The overall Grand Neobay area encompasses a 17-square-kilometer area that encircles Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the East China Normal University Minhang campuses.

Focusing on three leading industries – biomedicines, artificial intelligence, and high-end equipment – the area is also developing new sectors such as the digital economy, green and low-carbon technologies, and the metaverse.

By the end of 2023, over 600 high-tech enterprises had established a presence in the area, including 55 companies valued at over 100 million ($14 million) yuan and nine listed companies.

What's more, over 30 listed companies and leading firms have set up innovation centers and R&D platforms in the area.
