Shanghai Silicon Alley, a technology cluster in Changning district, has introduced two platforms aimed at accelerating technological innovation.

The Shanghai Silicon Alley Scientific and Technological Innovation Platform and the Integrated Circuit Application Innovation Concept Verification Center debuted on Feb 12.

The former will integrate with the established ecosystem of Shanghai Silicon Alley. By harnessing resources from research, industry, and capital, it seeks to foster collaboration and provide comprehensive support to science and technology startups.

The latter is set to play a pivotal role in bridging the divide between groundbreaking concepts and market-ready products. Its main goal is to validate ideas before they reach the market.

Encompassing a 1.48-square-kilometer area, Shanghai Silicon Alley has attracted over 10 innovation incubators and more than 800 tech companies.

Changning district has been proactively nurturing the growth of scientific and technological innovation through strategic initiatives, including the identification of existing spaces, the establishment of innovation incubators, and efforts to attract additional technology companies and top talent.
