In August 1999, the Shanghai Municipal Committee and Municipal Government developed a strategy and accompanying report called “Focus on Zhangjiang”. The report identified that investments from the IC industry, the software industry and the bio-medicine industry would be targeted. They were seen as the industries which should have leading roles in innovation and that would drive future economic growth and higher employment in Zhangjiang Town and the Hi-tech park.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
