In August 1st 2012, the RITS Leaguer Foshan Science Park was founded in the core district of the hi-tech zone, simultaneously stepping into a new stage of its construction. The park enjoys a status of Tsinghua’s international innovation base on production and research; is supposed to introduce both domestic and overseas high-end human resources and project construction platforms. RITS will firmly rely on Tsinghua University, make the most of its previous experiences and integrate valuable resources from home and abroad. Within the park a science and technology innovation system will be established with endeavor, involving research and development, high-level training programs, venture investment and international cooperation, to shape it as a science park that highlights international cooperation in South China, It will provide technological innovation service for Foshan high-tech zone to build an Intellectual-based Golden Valley.
