This “IE Rainforest” that brings together policies, services, universities, institutions, investment, talents and enterprises was officially announced to take root in Hunnan of Shenyang.

The THTI Holdings comes for its dream by virtue of the first cooperation between Beijing and Shenyang.

"Neighborhood Culture" and "Rainforest Ecology"

"Shenyang • China IValley IES", a key cooperation project between Beijing and Shenyang, is the first urban block characteristic of innovation and entrepreneurship in Northeast China.

The “Block” covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters and provides services from visible cafes, supermarkets, gymnasiums and basketball courts to invisible sharing technology innovation platforms, as well as full-industry IE services chain from conception to investment and financing. "Shenyang • China IValley IES" is committed to building a sound entrepreneurship service ecosystem.

Currently, the Block is able to provide entrepreneurs with eight major services, including shared office services, technology innovation platforms, big data services, entrepreneurship training, talent services, media services, one-stop administrative services, etc. Up to now, nearly 30 entrepreneurship projects including the Boeing 737 Cockpit, the Anti-lost IRIS Network Platform for Chinese Kids, Qifengle, Ctoutiao and other projects have settled in.

Here, high-tech enterprises, entrepreneurs and investors who settled in can communicate, share, and collide, and are even encouraged to become customers and service providers to each other; a unique “neighborhood culture” is formed strengthening the connection between all innovation elements.

For such a block, Cheng Fang, president of THTI Holdings and Chairman of IES, said in his speech that the IE ecology should be a “rainforest” rather than a “garden”. “We don't want artificial hills and plastic plants. Instead, our service is to make efforts to let all entered people and enterprises find their own sense of presence, and let them link, catalyze and germinate in communication and collision, and finally form a vibrant space for innovation and entrepreneurship. We hope entrepreneurs not to stay in parallel worlds but to be connected with the world through the IES high-quality resources."
