The Dongguan Songshan Lake National High-tech Industrial Development Zone signed 18 cooperation project agreements with leading Chinese companies, worth 11.3 billion yuan, in Beijing, on May 18.

They cover the electronic information, pharmaceutical, culture, cloud computing and logistics sectors.

The zone expects to see 90 percent of its output coming from the high-tech sector.

By 2015, tax revenues are expected to hit 10 billion yuan, and have an annual growth rate of 41 percent.
