Plans are for the zone to hold exhibitions covering the entire enterprise operations supply chain for personnel recruitment – including contract signing, protection of scientific research achievements and safe keeping of confidential materials.
It will also strengthen awareness about avoiding leakage of confidential information and compile experiences that can be used elsewhere.
Meanwhile, a designated team will help form a service network to further protect trade secrets.
