In August 1999, Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Government made a strategic decision of "focus on Zhangjiang" and clarified that the Park would specialize in such leading industries as integrated circuits, software, and bio-medicine to fully embody the functions of innovation and entrepreneurship. Since then, Zhangjiang Park has entered a rapid development stage.

The Park is witnessing the gradual formation of the culture of "independent design, independent business operation, and free competition" and the entrepreneurial atmosphere of "encourage to achieve success and tolerate failure".
