In the 21st century, more and more cities have created special zones or “science cities” to attract talent, technology, and capital and to integrate research, education, and production, so as to encourage collaboration, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
“Since the establishment of Western (Chengdu) Science City, it has grown into an innovation powerhouse for Western China and contributed to the development of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle,” said Chen Xu, Deputy Director of CSTB.
During the Dialogue, experts offered diverse perspectives on the growth of global science parks and how they function as platforms to connect resources and foster international cooperation. Mike de Vries, COO of the Sino-German Hi-Tech Park, said, “Heidelberg, where our park is located, is at the forefront of German industry and research and together with the University of Heidelberg, have provided Chinese partners with high-quality cooperation opportunities across various fields.”
In 2021, CSTB has been active in promoting cross-border cooperation despite the pandemic and has held seven “International Twin-City Chain Cloud Matchmaking” events featuring over 200 science and technology innovation projects from around the world, resulting in more than 20 cooperation agreements.
Dialogue participants also emphasized how science cities bring companies and talent together, allowing them to interact through various activities, and ultimately cooperate with each other. Gu Haiwen, Vice President of the China-Singapore International Joint Research Institute, described how China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City has become a “globally-influential science city focused on the knowledge economy” by attracting high-end talent and tech-oriented enterprises.
Moreover, science cities also play an important role in embedding cities into global networks of innovation and production. For example, at the “New Economy” event held in Chengdu on 26th April, 2021, over 200 new innovation applications were showcased and 248 new products were launched. These innovations will further integrate Chengdu-based industries into global industrial, supply and value chains.

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 15:31:00 CET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Research reveals 100% of leading generative AI models fail to generate secure code for critical development scenarios Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems. Therefore, organizations should immediately implement AI-native application security controls to reduce risk. “The era of vibe coding is here, but speed should not come at the cost of security,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Our research finds that the worst offenders are the same ones selling security
