根据《中共中央关于科学技术体制改革的决定》，近几年，许多地方在一些知识、技术密集的大中城市和沿海地区相继建立起一些高新技术产业开发区，促进了我国高新技术产业的发展。
In pursuance of the Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Reform of the Science and Technology Management System, a number of development zones for new and high technology industries have been successively established in recent years in some large and mediumsized technologyintensive cities and coastal areas, which have promoted the development of new and high technology industries in our country.
为了贯彻《中共中央关于制定国民经济和社会发展十年规划和“八五”计划的建议》中关于“继续推进’火炬’计划的实施，办好高新技术开发区”的精神，加快高新技术产业的发展，国务院决定，继一九八八年批准北京市新技术产业开发试验区之后，在各地已建立的高新技术产业开发区中，再选定一批开发区作为国家高新技术产业开发区，并给予相应的优惠政策。现通知如下：
