The ministry also supports Shenzhen to explore and establish stimulating mechanisms in research and development (R&D), attract and encourage leading enterprises, specialized and new enterprises, and social organizations to invest in large-scale R&D projects and increase R&D investment.
New fiscal policies will strengthen cooperation between Shenzhen local participants with state-level funds, and encourage such funds to invest and develop in Shenzhen, based on market principles, so as to help key industries to complement, strengthen and extend industrial chains.
