1. INTRODUCTION

To bridge research and industrialization and achieve true gathering and supporting effect of nano industry, links be-tween the two must be well managed. With platform of the in-cubator as the core, TusPark has proposed and implemented a mechanism to integrate politics, industry, academy, research, finance, intermediary, media and many other innovation re-sources, innovate and incubate nano technology achievements and realize the mechanism of mass industrialization.

During the Process, incubation platform of the TusPark is the core drive. Under the support and instruction of Beijing Munic-ipal Science and Technology Commission, the incubator of Tus-Park carries out project research and constructs new professional nano incubator on basis of Tsinghua University, Chinese Acad-emy of Sciences and other research resources as an advantage and in consideration of its own actual conditions for entrepre-neurship and incubation as well as successful experience of pro-fessional nano incubation platform both at home and abroad.

2. OVERVIEW

2.1 Rapid Development of Global Nanotechnology IndustryThe development of nanotechnology will bring a huge im-

pact on social and economic development, national security, people’s lifestyle, and production method in the 21st Century; therefore, as the new materials and emerging technologies with great market potential and development prospect, nano-materials and nanotechnologies have been universally con-cerned by all the countries in the world. In order to improve the country’s competitiveness and occupy the strategic high-land of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies, the government in recent years has formulated relevant development strate-gies and plans and invested heavily in the research and devel-opment of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies, focusing on promoting the industrialization of nanomaterials. Generally speaking, technological achievements are being transformed toward specialization, and they can be congregated to realize industrial scale and reduce transformation cost to a certain extent. Meanwhile, during the construction and operation process of technological achievement transformation bases, there should be an industrial circle to guide and lead the R&D institutions to improve R&D efficiency and achievement trans-formation efficiency.

2.2 Beijing Nano Zooming ProjectNanotechnology industry, as an emerging industry with

platform support, is attracting more and more attention of governments and enterprises. Along with the implementation of the 12th Five-Year Plan of China, nanotechnology industry is always treated as a top priority no matter in the Nanotech-nology Research - 12th Five-Year Special Planning of National Major Scientific Research Plan issued by the Ministry of Sci-ence and Technology, the Suggestions on Accelerating the Development of Strategic Emerging Industries in Beijing is-sued by Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission, or the relevant-industry supporting and guiding policies of

Zhongguancun National Innovation Demonstration Zone.“Beijing Nano Zooming Project” was launched recently to

carry out researches on key nano-industrialization technolo-gies, investigate for the batch transformation mechanism, con-struct Nano incubators and common open platforms, and perfect the Nano industrial layout. By 2015, the technologies, human resources, and industries in the field of Nano are ex-pected to have developed in a congregation manner, with one national demonstration base established for the batch trans-formation of nano-technological achievements to realize an-nual output value of more than RMB 20 billion in the nano industry, striving to become a world-class nanotechnology in-novation center and a high-end cluster area leading nanotech-nology industry.

During the construction of nanotechnology industry, a nan-otechnology industrial park was tentatively constructed in 2012 at Huairou Yanqi Economic and Technological Develop-ment Zone. Meanwhile, 34 national research institutions, ac-counting for 1/3 of nano-science and technology resources of China, are gathered in Beijing, including the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, Tsinghua University, Insti-tute of Chemistry, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Central Iron & Steel Research Institute. They undertake nearly half of national projects every year and their published papers and applied patents account for nearly half of that in China. In 2013, Beijing Huairou Yanqi Industrial Park was approved as a national nano industrial park.

2.3 Incubator--An Effective Carrier for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Services

The incubator, fully named as Business Incubator, was called as Entrepreneurship Center when introduced into China. It is a technological innovation service carrier, which aims to promote technological achievement transformation and develop high-tech enterprises and entrepreneurs. It origi-nated in the middle 1950s and has developed for more than 50 years. The world’s first business incubator was born in 1959 in upstate New York. Its founder Joseph Mancuso acquired a 22-acre abandoned factory, divided it into small blocks, and rented to different enterprises, finally took advantages of fam-ily influence and business channels to help new enterprises survive and develop and attract more venture enterprises through visits, face-to-face business talks, customized services and provision of labors.

Wuhan East-Lake Hi-Tech Innovation Center, the first busi-ness incubator, was founded in June 1987, marking China’s

incubator industry entering rapid development. In December 2012, the State Council issued the 12th Five-Year Develop-ment Plan for the Service Sector and proposed the ideas of vigorously developing science and technology service indus-try, actively developing innovation services, fostering entre-preneurial service format, energetically promoting “incubator + venture investment”, actively developing science & technol-ogy financial services, encouraging innovation in science & technology financial business, establishing science & technol-ogy financial integrated platform, and providing differentiated financial services to enterprises. It is required by the Plan to foster a number of technology service enterprises with strong innovation capacity, high service level, and great leading influ-ence in the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, in order to form a series of technology service industrial bases and clustering ar-eas, which have distinctive characteristics and outstanding advantages. This brings strategic opportunities, as well as higher requirements, to the incubator industry.

3. STRATEGIC UPGRADING OF TUSPARK BUSI-NESS INCUBATOR MODEL

3.1 Successful TusPark Incubation Model

TusPark Business Incubator is the soul of TusPark, serving as an innovation source of the whole Park, and ranked first among the three functions, i.e., entre-preneurial business incubator, technological achieve-ment transformation, and innovative talent training.

—— Mei MengDirector, TusPark Development Center

TusPark Business Incubator was founded in 1999 and incor-porated in 2001, taking “incubator + seed investment” as the development model and specialized incubator as the develop-ment target. The Incubator is listed among the national incuba-tors recognized by the Torch Center, the first batch of pilot agencies of Beijing Science & Technology Platform, the first batch of partners of Haidian District enterprise service system, Beijing small entrepreneurial bases, and Beijing strategic emerging industries incubators. In the past 14 years, TusPark Business Incubator has grown together with the enterprises in the park by integrating innovation resources and establishing entrepreneurship platform, incubated more than 1,000 enter-



prises, trained a large number of outstanding companies, in-cluding 36 Diamond companies, 9 “Golden Seed Project” enterprises, 64 talents under the “1000-Talent Plan”, “Overseas Talent Pooling Program” and “High-end Leading Talent Pooling Project”, and helped 9 companies successfully go listed.

“4-Focalization” ModelRelying on TusPark as the carrier, TusPark Business Incuba-

tor proposed and practiced the development model cored by “congregation, polymerization, focalization and achievement, providing innovation and incubation services to the enter-prises. In the past decade, domestic business incubators com-monly used this development model as operation model. “Congregation” includes space, enterprise, technology, and talent gathering. Within 720,000m2 in the Tsinghua Science Park, TusPark Business Incubator has gathered nearly 500 high-tech entrepreneurship clusters, multinational R&D insti-tution clusters, financial and investment institution clusters. “Polymerization” covers industry-university polymerization,

industry-industry polymerization, industry-intermediary po-lymerization and government-industry polymerization to cre-ate an entrepreneurial environment, which is fully integrated with innovation resources including government, industry, university, research, finance, intermediaries, trade and media. “Focalization” means to put technologies, talents, capital, mar-ket and other resources into superior industries and enter-prises. With congregation, polymerization and focalization, TusPark Business Incubator has formed the fusion of a num-ber of world-class enterprises, leading core technologies and creative talents.

“Incubation + Investment” ModeTusPark Business Incubator, early at its foundation, devel-

oped an “incubation + investment” model for development and focused on investing high-tech enterprises with the high-est innovation capacity in China. Relying on abundant re-sources of Tsinghua University and TusPark, TusPark Business Incubator has become a leading organization in Tsinghua in-

dustrial system which focuses on “incubation + investment”. By carrying out seed investment in the early projects, TusPark Business Incubator has actively promoted the industrialization of universities’ technological achievements and completed the investment in dozens of venture companies, which then enjoyed sound growth.

“Diamond Plan” Focalization Mode“Diamond Plan” was launched in accordance with the “4-fo-

calization” mode, aiming to develop high-tech companies with world-class technologies and leading position in the industry. In the Plan, various resources from domestic and foreign uni-versities, enterprises and governments are integrated in terms of capital, technologies, talents and industrial chain, to give full support and assistance to a number of candidate “dia-mond” enterprises, which are elected from TusPark Business Incubator and investment companies, and then develop them to be “diamond enterprises” that own world-class technolo-gies and leading position, with a great influence on the devel-opment of China and even the whole world. Since 2007, Tus-Holdings Company has totally selected 36 diamond enter-prises in 5 batches. At present, 8 have been successfully listed and 4 acquired, all of which have become the innovation pil-lars in the development of all fields.

“Three-Dimension” Incubation ModelTus-Holdings takes full responsibility for the development

and operation of TusPark, and has successfully built a nation-wide innovation system taking Science Park as the carrier. The radiation network covers more than 30 cities and regions. Tak-ing the radiation network as the carrier, Tus-Holdings success-fully implemented the “three-dimensional” incubation model (also called TusPark (Kunshan) Model) for technological achievements and entrepreneurial projects. The first “dimen-sion” means to promote school-enterprise cooperation along with the extension of industrial development and to create an industrial chain. For example, under the impetus of Tsinghua Science Park, Extra-large-tonnage Press Project, one of major research projects of Tsinghua University, is settled in TusPark (Kunshan), and industrial chain is initially formed. The second “dimension” is to build a public platform around local industry. Many manufacturing and equipment enterprises had no innova-tion support in Kunshan, so TusPark (Kunshan) constructed an advanced manufacturing innovation center, established exten-sive connection with the Department of Mechanical Engineer-ing, Department of Precision Instrument, Department of Electronic Engineering and other relevant departments of Tsin-ghua University, promoted the connection of about 30 projects of relevant departments with Kunshan, and implemented more

than 10 projects. For the third “dimension”, the Park is commit-ted to construction of industrial innovation base on the basis of innovation platform, and introduces siRNA R&D Project of Liang Zicai, the siRNA chief scientist of National “973” Plan under the support of Kunshan municipal government and the impetus of TusPark, then builds biotechnology public service platform and establishes a siRNA industrial innovation base, forming a com-mon perspective of “Kunshan is the right place for nuclear acid study” in the industry.

3.2 TusPark Incubation Model Upgrading - Tus-Star

We believe that the future innovation and develop-ment of technology enterprises are driven mainly by financial service. Whether we can provide the enter-prises with venture capital, business counseling, cor-porate governance counseling, and listing counseling”...Just like the seeding needs soil and more rainwater and sunshine in its growth process, the enterprise also needs its own rainwater and sun-light---financial services.

——Jiwu WangPresident, Tus-Holdings Co., Ltd.

Facing the future, Tus-Holdings has put forward the strategic requirements for incubator upgrading, made all efforts to create an internationalized, financialized and specialized incubator, and proposed innovation plan for Tus-Star. Therefore, the establish-ment of a new nanotechnology-oriented incubator becomes a new attempt in the strategic updating of TusPark Business Incu-bator; in this way, Tus-Star (Nano) Incubator is emerged.

Financialization: to create a financial incubator of Venture Capital + Investment Banking + Incubation

After experiencing the “incubation + investment” stage, TusPark Business Incubator has stepped into the “investment banking + incubation” stage, namely, the investment banking model: financial services which integrates various resources to provide the whole industrial chain to the enterprises, not just investment. In the past 10 years, Tus-Holdings innovated and guided the incubator model of “incubation + investment”. Facing the future, Tus-Holdings proposed the strategic updat-ing of incubator model to improve the supporting capability of financial service in the whole cycle US of enterprise develop-ment. Tus-Holdings and Lenovo invested in Beijing Ereneben for three years and then helped it and Tsinghua Tongfang to

achieve the acquisition, which is a new successful attempt of new incubation model of Tus-Holdings. In this stage, the incu-bator is featured by a throughout business sector “industry, finance, incubation plus listed companies”, forming a compre-hensive operational capacity of “venture capital, investment banking + incubation”. Currently, the financial services plat-form Tus-Financial Group has developed an incubation sys-tem integrated direct investment, credit, investment banking and comprehensive financial services. The capitals and assets under the management of Tus-Venture Capital Management (Beijing) Co., Ltd. are up to RMB 2 Billion, and the investment is oriented toward information technologies, life technolo-gies, clean technologies, creative industries and modern ser-vices. In addition, TusPark Angel Investment Platform controls RMB 200 million, which was invested in the early stage of the “Angel” Program, including TusPark Business Incubator In-vestment Funds, Ginkgo Angel Investment Funds, Tenry Ven-ture Investment Funds, and AAMA Angle Funds.

Specialization: to create a specialized incubator for new nanomaterials, biomedicine, mobile Internet, and other themes

According to national intermediate- and long-term science and technology development plan, taking the construction of an innovation country as a strategic objective, sustainable develop-ment as a strategic direction, and the combat for economic and technological highlands as a strategic priority, the strategic emerging industries are gradually turned to the dominant force in economic and social development, and the priority is given to the development of such industries related to energy-saving and environmental protection, new generation of information tech-nology, biotechnology, high-end equipment manufacturing, new energies, new materials, and new energy vehicles. In June 2013, according to Management Methods for Innovative Indus-try Cluster Pilot Identification (GKFH 2013 No. [230] Docu-ment), the Ministry of Science and Technology has identified and announced 10 industry clusters as the first batch of innova-tive industry cluster pilots, including Mobile Internet Industry Association, Baoding New Energy and Smart Grid Equipment, Wuxi High-Tech Zone Intelligent Sensing System, and Zhuzhou Rail Transportation Equipment Manufacturing.

According to the direction of national focus on the develop-ment of strategic emerging industries, Tus-Holdings gives full play to its own advantages and characteristics in the field of specialized incubator to further enhance the construction of specialized incubator. In 2013, Tus-New Nano Incubator estab-




lished Nano Science Incubation Base under the support of Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission. With nanotechnology regarded as one of the development direc-tions of emerging strategic industries, “Beijing Nano Zooming Project” was proposed in Beijing. Tus-Incubator is located within 5,000m2 in the core zone of TusPark, taking nanotech-nology as the key incubation objective, gathering nanotech-nology achievements, establishing entrepreneurship and incubation base, connecting industrial channel, and further improving nanotechnology industrial chain in Beijing. Tus-In-cubator employs professional service platform, special sup-porting policies and achievement-oriented transformation to provide fast and efficient incubation services for the entrepre-neurs. Until recently, Tus-Incubator has actively promoted and facilitated the Supercapacitor Project of Jisheng Xingtai Tai (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. and the first nano-scale “car-bon silk” atomic production line developed by Academician Fan Shoushan, Tsinghua University to settle down in Beijing Nanotechnology Industrial Park in Huairou Yanqi Economic and Technological Development Zone. In addition, Tus-Hold-ings Company conducts the construction of biomedical spe-cialized incubator and mobile Internet specialized incubator with biomedical investment funds and mobile Internet open platform.

Internationalization: to perfect international incuba-tion project undertaking platform

In the course of providing services to innovative entrepre-neurs, we find that the challenge encountered by technologi-cal innovation-oriented enterprises is global competition, so our vision should commit to the global perspective. In the 21st Century, technological innovation has become a strong power to drive the development of the world, and innovation & en-trepreneurship boom has continually lasted for a long time. In order to cope with global market competition, Chinese entre-preneurs, apparently not satisfied with domestic resources, ask for more capitals, technologies and talents around the world. However, many entrepreneurs from the United States look for future markets in China, and they desire more ur-gently for resources, platforms and landing support from China. Meanwhile, many returned overseas students start up companies in China but most resources are introduced from foreign countries, so they have to become a “flying trapeze”. It is all quietly confirmed that incubators need to go abroad to meet new challenges.

Following the formal foundation of InnoSpring, the first Si-

no-US cross-border incubator by Tus-Holdings Co., Ltd., Sili-con Valley Bank, Shui On Group and Northern Light Venture Capital in April 2012, TusPark signed the Understanding Mem-orandum on Cooperation with Zhiguli Valley Technopark in July 2012, and both parties discussed on the incubator con-struction under the framework of the memorandum. In Sep-tember, the delegation of Tus-Holdings visited Imperial College to prepare for the establishment of an incubator in the UK. In 2013, Tus-Holdings Company further accelerated the expansion of international cooperation channels, and signed a strategic cooperation agreement respectively with Korea Gimpo Science Park, Israel Haifa Science Park, and Hong Kong Science Park. With great efforts of Tus-Holdings, an interna-tional platform network undertaking incubator projects has been gradually shaped out.

Networking: to build TusPark Business Incubator net-work system for online and offline interactive support

In order to essentially break the spatial constraints on the development of entrepreneurship incubator, on the basis of the exploration on the reproducibility of incubator operation model, Tus-Holdings gradually forms a spatial incubation sup-port network, which covers main international and domestic innovation zones. Moreover, Tus-Holdings Company also uti-lizes network informationization technologies to establish on-line innovation incubation service platform—Tus-Service Network, further realizing TusPark Business Incubator net-work system for online and offline interactive support.

Tus-Service Network has the following features: taking the network as the carrier to integrate innovation information and elements, constructing a networks to form a standardized management system that is highly integrated with various in-formation, resources and services; the system breaks through the geographical restrictions, facilitates the promotion and replication, and realizes “three breakthroughs” to facilitate the efficient configuration and utilization of resources. Firstly, break through the restrictions of the traditional incubation car-rier. Specifically, take information network as the carrier, put TusPark Business Incubator’s experience into practice, form a standardized model, and promote and copy the model in incu-bation network through “master site - sub-site group”. Sec-ondly, break through the restrictions in data sharing and matching. In detail, unify all interface platforms on the basis of “Cloud Computing” concept to realize data integration and sharing among incubation platforms and effectively promote high-efficiency matching of innovation resources at low cost.



Thirdly, break through the constraints in geography, industry and other tangible resources. In other words, flexibly and ac-tively realize the online integration of various innovation re-sources including government, industry, university, research, finance, intermediaries, trade and media, according to market changes and business needs, and promote the innovation and upgrading of regional industries through operating incubators.

Innovation incubator: to discover one new incubation model of “integration of four industries” - “Tus-Star”

Since 2009, a number of innovative incubators emerged in China, including Innovation Works, Garage Cafe and Legend Star. Instead of taking physical space as the carrier to gather and incubate enterprises, these incubators promote the estab-lishment and rapid development of the enterprises through early investment, integration of industrial chains and re-sources, establishment of professional technical platforms, counseling of entrepreneurial mentors, and other proactive services. A batch of innovative incubators with new operation mode and strong innovation capability become the most vig-orous new force of business incubator system, initially forming a new pattern of innovation service industry with the participa-tion of state-owned capital, private capital, associations, non-government enterprises, and other social organizations under market-oriented operation.

Based on the traditional incubator model, Tus-Holdings will further combine multi-year experiences to launch the “Tus-

Star” Plan, gather worldwide innovation projects and entre-preneurs which have leading innovative technologies and technology-based business model, and employ new incuba-tion method of “integration of four industries” (incubation service + entrepreneurship training + angel investment + open platform) to gather high-quality entrepreneurial re-sources, train entrepreneurship leading talents, connect “Dia-mond Plan”, and produce a number of world-class influential enterprises. Inspiration to create a chain of financial services to support the entire platform will be the powerful driving en-gine of “Tus-Star” Development Program, similarly, “Tus-Star” combined with “Diamond Plan” will also inspire the work of promoting financial services platform to be an important start-ing point and the carrier.

New Case: Tus-Star (Nano) Specialized IncubatorTo open up the R&D and industrialization path to achieve

true gathering and supporting effects of nanotechnology in-dustries, they should be well linked. Tsinghua Science Park has proposed and implemented a mechanism that takes sci-ence park incubator platform as the core, integrates multiple innovation resources including government, industry, univer-sity, research, finance, intermediaries, trade and media, then innovates and incubates nanotechnology achievements, fi-nally achieves mass industrialization.

incubator platform, namely, give full play to the leading role of the New Energy and New Material Division of Beijing Munici-pal Science & Technology Commission in policies, the indus-trialization bearing function of Beijing Industrial Park, and serving capacity of various nano-industrialization service inter-mediaries to explore an effective model with effective linkage, governmental guidance and market mechanisms.

Throughout the mechanism, the science park incubator platform is the core driving force. Taking Tus-Star (Nano) Spe-cialized Incubator (or called TusPark Nano Specialized Incuba-tor, the first nano specialized incubator in Beijing), for example, under the support and guidance of Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission, TusPark Specialized Incu-bator takes full advantage of research resources from Tsing-hua University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other institutions, combines actual business and incubation condi-tions, and learns from the successful experiences of foreign and domestic nano professional incubation platforms to carry out project researches and new nano specialized incubator construction.

New nano specialized incubator highlights on the full indus-trial-chain service, from project R&D stage, achievement trans-formation, to centralized mass incubation. Meanwhile, the whole industrial chain is supported by the feedback and guid-ance of nano industry so as to control R&D direction and real-ize major breakthroughs and efficient incubation. Finally TusPark Specialized Incubator connects project industrializa-tion to Beijing Nanotechnology Industrial Park and other in-dustrial bases, in order to achieve the congregation of nanotechnologies in industrialization stage. With the above measures, the channel to nano industrialization is opened up to make nanotechnology become a true key technology to support the industrial upgrading in Beijing and even in the whole society.

By introduction to training activities for Beijing Nano Indus-trial Salon, TusPark Entrepreneurship Salon, TusPark Entre-preneurship Cluster and other series brands in addition to systematic entrepreneurship training provided to nano indus-trial projects and entrepreneurs within the incubator, this Text drives their transformation from research talents to entrepre-neurs as soon as possible as a favorable reference for other parks in transforming technological achievements.

After “investment-plus-incubation”, TusPark Incubator has entered a new stage of “investment bank plus incubation”, i.e. investment bank pattern, which aims to integrate many re-sources rather than just invest and provide full-chain financial service to the enterprises. In addition, through the incubation platform, nano technology achievements are interfaced with industrial base by large scale. The adopted means include Tus-Park Entrepreneurship House, Nano Incubation New Product Release, Nano Project Investment Road show, etc.

This Text also introduces some key nano projects organized by large scale on basis of professional nano incubator as a car-rier. Through professional nano incubator of TusPark, a num-ber of nano technology achievements has emerged on recommendation and acquired funds support.

Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission has established a number of new nano incubation platforms and verified the first professional nano incubator in Beijing, Tus-Park New Professional Nano Incubator. There will be more and more professional nano incubator in Beijing and all over the China.

TusPark will keep continue effort, not only the professional nano incubator, but also the professional incubator on Mobile internet, renewable and clean energy, environmental protec-tion, big date and smart city.
