Shanghai Strengthens MNC R&D Center Support Measures

Shanghai released 26 measures on Thursday to strengthen multinational companies' R&D centers, offering greater support for basic research, government-led projects, and university-industry collaboration. The package targets ten key industrial chains including integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, and high-end equipment, and eases talent, data and goods flows — including up to ten-year residence permits and a green channel for important cross-border data.
