Center of innovation
To implement President Xi Jinping’s desire to turn Shanghai into an international innovation center, the city has launched a program to attract more foreign-invested R&D centers this year.
Putuo has taken various measures to follow the program, including attracting more high-end foreign capital R&D centers, establishing a better environment for them.
In recent years, the R&D headquarters of foreign-capital companies have made great contributions to Putuo’s economic and social development.
In 2014, the five foreign enterprise headquarters in Putuo contributed 317 million yuan (US$50.97 million) in taxation, up 6.29 percent, with a total operating revenue of 2.4 billion yuan and a total net income of 304 million yuan.
Among these companies, Nalco and Kone Cranes ranked 9th and 31st respectively in the top 100 corporate taxpayers of Shanghai last year.
