The Shunde District is situated in the central part of the Pearl River Delta (PRD), and was established during the Ming Dynasty (1452). Shunde currently has a resident population of 2.51 million and has ranked as one of the most affluent counties in Southern China since 2000. As the cradle of Cantonese song and opera, Shunde cultivates a wide variety of local culture. In 2014, Shunde was also identified by UNESCO as a “City of Gastronomy” due to its excellent food, including special dishes unique to the region. Shunde is also an important transportation and economic hub in the Pearl River Delta, connecting Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau within a two-hour traffic circle. In order to promote its transformation from an industrial base to an innovation base, the Shunde Government is building the Shunde Hi-tech Industrial Park Promotion Zone, including the “Sino-European Service Center” which will be the home to Qianju Bio Park and the VIC-ChinaBio Life Science Accelerator. Other platforms attracting life science companies to Shunde include a 1000 mu (165 acres) park for biotechnical innovation, industrial development and manufacturing, further enhancing the core competitiveness of the region.
