Youxian district, a core area of the State-level Mianyang Science and Technology City, the only one of its kind in China, is organizing five activities and two exhibitions for the forthcoming China Science and Technology City International High-Tech Expo. The events are aimed at promoting win-win cooperation among participants and creating a better environment for development.

The expo is taking place in Mianyang, southwestern China's Sichuan province, from September 12 to September 16.

In February, the Youxian government was listed among the 2017 China's top 100 county-level governments in honesty and credibility, ranking 25th nationwide, fourth in the province and first in Mianyang.

It has an annual budget of 3.5 million yuan to provide bonuses for talented people and has implemented several policies to allow them to enjoy favorable exit and entry procedures, resettlement, medical services and education for their children.

Since 2016, the district has implemented a brand strategy, promoting high-quality local corporate and product brands through expos and the media. It has also encouraged companies to take part in the forming of industrial standards, to increase investment in scientific research and innovation, and to file more patent applications.

Companies in Youxian filed 1,102 patent applications last year, 773 of which have been authorized.
