The tide of blockchain is sweeping, whether it is an individual, an enterprise, or even a locality, they all want to seize this wave.
Shanghai missed the Internet and hopes to seize the blockchain. There are also such thoughts everywhere. Chongqing plans to establish a blockchain exchange, and Nanjing has started to attract investment... Among them, Hangzhou cannot be ignored.
Some observers even believe that, the Hangzhou government is the city that supports the blockchain the most among the four cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hangzhou. We can see a series of layouts of the Hangzhou government in the blockchain field from the media. On April 9, 2018, the Hangzhou Blockchain Industrial Park was launched. At the ceremony, the Zhejiang Xiongan Blockchain Strategic Development Research Institute was established, and the Xiongan Global Blockchain Innovation Fund was officially released. The Xiongan Global Blockchain Innovation Fund is jointly funded (raised) by the Yuhang District Government, the Future Science and Technology City Management Committee and Hangzhou Tunlan Investment Management Co., Ltd.
At the launching ceremony of the industrial park that day, there was also a signing ceremony for the first batch of 10 blockchain industry enterprises to settle in.
However, two months passed. It seems that there is still no blockchain company stationed in the industrial park.
On the 11th of this month, Odaily visited Hangzhou Blockchain Industrial Park. Entering the gate of the park and approaching the nearby Starbucks, I didn’t see the scene of “people in the venture capital circle talking about blockchain, projects and investments, sipping coffee from time to time” like Zhongguancun Garage Coffee. The chairs were covered with dust, and occasionally one or two people wearing badges appeared, but none of them were engaged in the blockchain industry.
This new blockchain industrial park is located at No. 1508 Wenyi West Road, Yuhang District, in Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City, next to Alibaba Xixi Park. There are currently 3 office buildings, providing 5,000 square meters of entrepreneurial space. After the launching ceremony, the flower pots under the big sign of China·Hangzhou Blockchain Industrial Park at the gate of the park have been removed, and there are traces of soil turning on the lawn. The building next to it is still under construction, and the park looks very deserted.
At present, the No. 3 office building in the park has been put into use.It is understood that Tunlan Investment first agreed with the park to use the 12th floor of Block A as the office of the blockchain project. Later, the management committee rented all the remaining 7,000 houses in the park. . Odaily can see from the electronic signs in the lobby on the first floor that there are about 37 companies that have settled in, but none of them are blockchain-related.
When asked about the settlement status of blockchain-related companies, the park staff expressed that the interested companies are still in the review stage, and there are no companies that have settled in yet, and the corresponding venues have not yet started decoration.
On June 12, the WeChat public account of Future Science and Technology City was announcedReview results of the first batch of blockchain projects in 2018, 67 projects participated in the review and finally passed 19 projects. We understand that the project party needs to submit the materials to the management committee for review, and the projects that pass the preliminary review will undergo on-site defense, expert review and scoring, and other links will pass the re-examination and enter the publicity stage.
The staff of the management committee said that after the publicity stage, the project party will further sign the mission statement, that is, the development plan for the next few years and other documents, and then arrange to settle in. The time period is generally 1-2 months, but there is no specific time schedule yet.
Previously, when many media reported on the launching ceremony of the Hangzhou Blockchain Industrial Park, they said that10 blockchain future technology projects were signed on site, becoming the first batch of projects introduced by Xiongan Fund to enter the Hangzhou Blockchain Industrial Park in China。

Check out OdailyNews from the Hangzhou Municipal Government on the launch of the Hangzhou Blockchain Industrial Park, which did not mention the signing of the matter. When asking the staff of the management committee for verification by phone, the staff first responded that the 10 companies are not blockchain projects, but may be other projects of the future science and technology city, but there was a signing ceremony at that time; It is impossible to have only 10 projects in the park, so the first phase of review will be completed immediately after that, and more projects will enter in the future.
It only took 54 days from the intention to establish the fund to the official implementation. Yao Yongjie, the chairman of Tunlan Investment and the leader of the industrial park, is quite proud of the speed of implementation of the blockchain industry in Hangzhou.
The medias competing reports have won attention and enthusiasm for Hangzhous blockchain development, enabling Hangzhou to quickly enter the blockchain field and compete for the blockchain capital.
