About Technology Parks in China
Organisations are finding it increasingly difficult in the Yangtze Delta region to locate the space required to establish and grow their businesses.

Most technology parks in China are single dimensioned manufacturing spaces, isolated, with few services or amenities offered to businesses, staff and workers. Access to modern transport links is often haphazard. Land is scarce and costs are increasing. Often the constructed infrastructure is of poor quality, with little or no room for future expansion.

Research and experience from Silicon Valley suggests that if the core needs of both companies and workers are met, then organisations are free to develop and grow effectively. Businesses benefit when the commercial, design and service environment is optimised.

When companies develop a good overview of various competitive options they can make a confident decision. Companies can research the alternatives; match the current and future needs of their organisations against the design, services and site potential offered by each location.

Companies are often under pressure to establish an operation quickly in China, without a good awareness of alternatives. Often site selections are managed by agencies focused on certain areas in Shanghai with little knowledge of alternatives.
