The number of foreign-funded research and development centers reached 451 by the end of August, with 10 newly launched in the first eight months of this year.
Driven by the prosperous development of these headquarters, foreign investment into Shanghai has maintained fast growth, with 4,661 new foreign investment projects set up from January to August, up 47.8 percent on year, the commission said.
