It aims to attract more than 60,000 high-level R&D personnel globally, with over 50% holding master's or doctoral degrees.

The first phase will encompass around 2.26 million square meters of floor area, while the second and third phases will cover 480,000 and 560,000 square meters, respectively. Some dormitories and research facilities are already under construction.
