It is Hangzhou's cultural and Internet highland, with a large number of colleges and universities in the vicinity and an ample talent pool, suitable for culture and media, education and training, and software R&D enterprises. There is also a tax rebate policy for some parks here, but the commercial office rent is relatively high, so startup teams with sufficient budget will be more comfortable.

It is a hot spot for digital economy and live e-commerce in recent years, and the future science and technology city has strong support, and enterprises have the opportunity to apply for special funds. E-commerce, live-streaming bandwagon, and smart hardware manufacturing can find mature industry chains and cooperation resources here, but the approval process is sometimes slightly longer than in other districts.

Xiaoshan district, Shanghai

It has obvious advantages in manufacturing, foreign trade and logistics, with abundant industrial land resources and efficient export tax rebates, making it very suitable for production and processing and trading companies. However, it is far away from the city center, so if the main business is in the urban area, you need to consider the cost of transportation and personnel commuting.

The atmosphere of commerce and modern service industry is strong, the business circle is mature, and the business efficiency is high, which is suitable for commerce and trade companies and service-oriented enterprises to move in.
