Introduction to Tsinghua Science Park
Established by Tsinghua University, Tsinghua Science Park combines its unique technical and human resources with innovative companies and ambitious young entrepreneurs. Tsinghua Science Park is located in Zhongguancun, an area where Beijing's top universities, colleges, and research institutions are located. International companies interested in benefiting from China's new "Policy of Innovation" are attracted to this innovative and creative environment.
In 2000, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology acknowledged Tsinghua Science Park as the one of the first national university science parks in China. Tsinghua Science Park's outstanding reputation for excellent incubation services for high tech companies extends to both national and international communities. In 2002, Tsinghua Science Park was named a "National High-Tech Innovation Service Centre", guaranteeing long-term growth and development for the park. Tsinghua Science Park was awarded "The Best Practice of Science Incubator 2002" by the Netherlands Science Federation for its sustainable and pioneering business concept, attesting to Tsinghua Science Park's international success and recognition. In 2003, Tsinghua Science Park became the first Chinese science park member of the International Science and Technology Association.
In 2004, the Tsinghua Science Park celebrated its 10 th anniversary, finally becoming a fully equipped and completed campus. Although total completion of the park was finished more recently in 2005, Tsinghua Science Park is continuously evaluating and improving the quality and range of services available to tenants. Further construction plans were released to meet the increasing demand for Tsinghua Science Park's excellent business environment.

Tsinghua Entrepreneur Club
The Tsinghua Entrepreneur Club is established in recognition of the need to bring together top talents who are passionate about entrepreneurship. Our mission is to create a support community and provide key resources to help entrepreneurs in building successful next generation global companies. In addition, we see tremendous value in creating a lifelong network for members who share the same passion in building great companies. The Entrepreneur Club will serve as a platform to foster interactions and networking among the members. We encourage members to learn from each other and leverage one of the best networks in Silicon Valley and around the world. The Entrepreneur Club will invite distinguished speakers, including entrepreneurs, executives, and investors, to share invaluable insights and experience in creating successful companies and products. The goal is to accelerate learning of entrepreneurial concepts through ongoing education. Entrepreneurship is important whether the intention is to start a company or not. Entrepreneurship is a mindset – the mindset to create great value by leveraging available resources. This “intrapreneurial” mindset is also very critical for managers within a company in bringing new product ideas to the market. We welcome any interested members of the Tsinghua alumni network to join the club. We are very excited about the establishment of the Tsinghua Entrepreneur Club in Silicon Valley. We hope this platform will help many entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs in creating successful and lasting companies and products.
