TIANJIN Kids John Elway Jersey , Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Strolling down the broad streets in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA), it's hard to miss the flashy billboards displaying world famous brands such as Coca-Cola and Samsung.
Located at the Bohai Bay in Tianjin, a harbor city in north China, TEDA is a concentration of factories laid out in a style similar to Manhattan, though the skyline lacks highrise buildings and the streets are much quieter.
TEDA is among the first 14 state-sponsored development areas that were established in 1984, six years after China introduced the policy of reform and opening up.
The other areas were established in coastal cities including Dalian and Guangzhou.
Labor-intensive factories were common occupants of those areas when they were established. The first 20 companies set up in the TEDA during the late 1980s included a disposable lighter manufacturer and one that made cosmetics accessories.
For a long time, development area, with about 14,000 enterprises, was a manufacturing center for drinks, electronic devices and car supplies.
However, the picture is fast changing in recent years, as more and more technology companies occupy the space once held by light manufacturers. Now, more than half a million people are employed in the TEDA, including some 4,000 foreign workers.
Acting as a beacon for technological companies, China's supercomputer Tianhe-1, one of the world's fastest supercomputers, has been housed in the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin since 2009.
The supercomputer was used to design a platform to fully digitalize the zone's planning, design, construction and property management.
Meng said Tianhe-1 computes more than 1,000 tasks every day, assisting more than 600 customers.
TEDA is also home to many small and medium-sized technology firms.
In a cafe next to the towering building bearing the name of the center is the office of Orange Family Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd, a hi-tech firm whose main product is a watch-sized oximeter, used in medicine to measure blood-oxygen saturation in patients.
The company decided to set up its headquarters in March in TEDA due to its favorable conditions for startups.
According to Wang Jia, an officer of the firm, TEDA provided facilities including premises, electricity and desks for the firm in a bid to attract promising startup companies and help them grow.
"The personal computers are the only properties we own here," Wang said.
Wang's company employs about 20 people, sharing the building with around 100 other high-tech companies.
Official statistics showed that there were 3,755 small and medium-sized technology firms in TEDA by the end of 2013. By November, the figure had reached 4,600.
The changes taking place in TEDA reflect China's upgrading economy and the nation's effort to encourage innovation.
At the 18th National Congress in November 2012, the Communist Party of China (CPC) put forward a strategy for innovation-driven development, stressing the importance of scientific innovation in improving productivity and overall national strength.

NEW DELHI, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- India said that it was arranging for the evacuation of its nationals from the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten hit by hurricane Irma.
"The evacuation of Indian nationals from #SintMaarten is a priority for us. Unfortunately, plane chartered by us could not fly today. We are organising another aircraft to carry out the operation," Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj tweeted late Monday night.
The island of Sint Maarten suffered widespread destruction after Irma made landfall last week and wreaked havoc on the Caribbean islands.
The Indian External Affairs Ministry said Saturday that it was constantly monitoring the situation in the aftermath of Irma hitting North American countries and doing its best to provide all help to its affected nationals there.
"Our missions in Venezuela, the Netherlands, France and the U.S. are constantly monitoring the situation ... They are in constant touch with the Indian diaspora affected by Irma and with local government officials," External Affairs Ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar tweeted.
Hurricane Irma, a category 5 storm, pounded the Bahamas before making landfall in Cuba's Camaguey Archipelago late Friday night and barrelling towards Flordia in the United States.
