This success builds on NETDA's long-standing efforts in recruiting talent since its founding in 1984, and its stepped-up recruitment in AI and marine equipment to support industrial transformation.

In addition, the development zone provides financial support, platforms, and customized services. This has contributed to breakthroughs by local enterprises such as Kingwills Advanced Materials in nonwoven technology, Wan Feng's team in chemical glycobiology, and Zhongtian Technology Group in AI-driven optimization.

Currently, NETDA has attracted 198 national-level talents and ranks 21st among all such zones nationwide.
