And among all the incubators in China, only those Science and Technology Business Incubators could be rated national level. AT present, some Science and Technology Business Incubators become professional ones on several aspects: bio-tech pharmacy, micro-electronic etc. We have 26 national level software parks besides all the national level incubators. 9) Available Capital Procurement Support for Enterprises Located in an Incubation Facility: Besides the capital issued by the Innofund mentioned above, different levels of the local governments invest their own money to their incubators. Most of the national level incubators are partly owned by provincial governments, and the incubators sometimes invest money to their own incubating companies. 10) Available Tax Incentives to Enterprises Located in an Incubation Facility: Actually not yet, Ministry of Science and Technology is cooperating with National Taxation Bureau to study on how to support science and technology business incubators by issuing new policy to decrease taxation for incubators.
