Sino-Singapore (Guangzhou) Knowledge City (SSGKC) has introduced another iconic project - China Telecom Innovation Incubation South China Base. The total investment of the project will reach about RMB6 billion and the construction will include the telecom basic service zone, incubation economic zone, innovation and R&D zone and comprehensive service zone. The project has passed the land use examination of the district in March 2014 and the land appraisal and other land premise preparation works have been completed.

 

China Telecom Innovation Incubation South China Base is another iconic project introduced by SSGKC. The main research body is China Telecom Guangdong Institute - one of the three institutes of China Telecom. This institute will rely on the experiment equipment, R&D talent, innovation products and other resource advantages, the the strength of China Telecom on telecommunication network construction, channel and platform erection to build an incubation service system with telecom characteristics, and carry out the incubation services in the fields of mobile Internet, Internet of Things and cloud computing.

 

It is learned that the incubation project to offer the “nursery fostering” services: the innovation teams will improve their products and make graduation evaluation there in six to nine months and the project development will be based to decide the next move. Generally speaking, the next move can be divided into three conditions: the first is incorporation of an enterprise jointly held by China Telecom and the innovation team for the the market-based operation; the second is to include the product in the product lineup of China Telecom for the coordinated development and offer diversified services for users; and the third is to return the product to the original supplier for further improvement.

 

The incubation projects involve the mobile Internet, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and e-commerce sectors and include applications of entertainment, people’s livelihood, big data and social contact. For example, citizens can search for the maintenance workers and the relevant contact information in the neighborhood on “zhaoxiaogong” mobile phone management platform in case of the sewer jam or circuit failure.

 

The innovation incubation base is an innovation experiment base and a pioneer of “de-telecommunications” and implementation of the strategic transformation. This base will be equipped with the office and demo environment up to the international standards, and professional laboratories with gigabit-level bandwidth and several hundred of high-end severs. It can rapidly build the necessary incubation environment and startup platforms to meet requirements of the startup projects on research and development and operation. In the following three to five years, the base will gradually build large-scale high-end information industrial clusters and effectively drive the development of the scientific and technological innovation of Guangdong Province.
