Abstract

This paper examines the development of biotech in Shanghai using the perspective of regional innovation system (RIS). Three important components of RIS, namely land, human capital and the regional system, are investigated. The development of these components has to be understood in the specific Chinese context. For the land, the role of Zhangjiang High-Tech Park Development Corporation is discussed with reference to the land development mechanism after the establishment of Chinese land markets. For human capital, the policy of the central and local governments in talent concentration is analysed. For the regional system, the spatial distribution of biotech in Shanghai is introduced to create interconnected innovation spaces in the metropolitan region. The paper enriches our understanding of RIS in the context of biotech development in Shanghai.
