“In additional to funds, enterprises at this stage need services in many other aspects to realize business growth and rapidly meet the conditions for going public. 

“We initiate this unicorn center targeting such enterprises for providing them with soft services in engaging benchmark enterprises, attracting strategic and financial investors, recruiting talents, obtaining policy supports, etc."
