TIPark Silicon Valley, a US-China technology start-up incubator based in the heart of Silicon Valley, California, launched a 2016 TIPark China Trip starting at Shanghai on Nov 10, a move to help overseas tech start-ups that are interested in market opportunities in China.

The four-city trip attracted representatives of 15 technological innovation projects from the UK and the US. They took part in field visits, roadshows, and entrepreneurial policy information sessions while touring Shanghai, Suzhou, Yancheng, and Changshu in East China’s Jiangsu province. 

The project representatives visited industrial parks and incubators, and talked with local venture capital investment institutions. 

When in Shanghai, they visited Hesai Instruments, a laser gas analyzer start-up incubated by TIPark in Shanghai’s Jiading District, to know how overseas entrepreneurial projects start business in China. 

Projects participating in the trip are in a wide range of areas, including biomedicine, smart cities, chip design, artificial intelligence, electronic controls, cloud technology, VR, Industrial Internet, and mobile Internet. 

TIPark Silicon Valley was founded in 2013 and is a joint project between THTI Holding, a subsidiary of Tsinghua Holdings Co Ltd, and Zhongguancun Haidian Science Park. It aims to encourage start-up companies in both US and China to go beyond borders, to expand overseas markets and to promote business communication and cooperation between Silicon Valley and China.
