Why Danyang?
With a highly literate population of 890,000, this historic city is a high-tech hub for optics, nanotechnology, high-temperature materials and alternative fuels. Located along the main high-speed train route between Shanghai and Nanjing, the city is considered one of the top ten economic powers in the region with a GDP of nearly $5 billion. The current lack of a major university campus is seen as a detriment to further growth.
