Who Are We?

Zhejiang Lab is a research institute established jointly by the Zhejiang Provincial Government, Zhejiang University and Alibaba Group in September, 2017, which is located in the central area of the West Hangzhou Scientific Innovation Corridor. Focusing on five areas including intelligent perception, artificial intelligence, intelligent computing, intelligent networks, and intelligent systems, Zhejiang Lab carries out researches on cutting-edge and fundamental topics, explores key technologies, develops core systems, and builds large-scale technology infrastructure and major research platforms. Zhejiang Lab aspires to build a world-leading basic research and innovation center to support the development of a smart society in the future.

Currently, with over 2,000 employees, Zhejiang Lab has been duly authorized to lead the construction of the Zhejiang Provincial Laboratory for Intelligent Science and Technology.

Why Us?

1.    A career to make the world better with the power of science and technology

We are not working for business growth, profit, or technological monopolization.

We are striving for social progress.

2.    An opportunity to explore new areas and work with top scientists on worldwide issues

We do not repeat work that has already been done or carry out projects without challenge that won’t make us grow.

Aiming at important research projects and large technological infrastructure, we study and develop basic theories, key technologies, and core systems in fields including intelligent perception, artificial intelligence, intelligent computing, intelligent networks, and intelligent systems.

We work with top scientists and industrial experts as the pioneers to overcome vital obstacles to key technologies.

3.    An innovative, open, and collaborative organizational culture for science professionals

We do not stick to old ideas and conventions, and we refuse to be a traditional research institute like many other institutions.

We use various activities to cultivate an organizational culture that values innovation, open-mindedness, passion, collaboration, and commitment. With the idea of not using academic papers, professional titles, degrees, and awards as the only criteria for performance evaluations, we implement a more scientific and flexible appraisal mechanism based on our researchers’ innovation outcomes and contributions.

We are rigorous yet interesting. We have a rich diversity of research topics, yet we can stay very focused. We encourage our researchers to think, to create, and to work with each other.

4.    A comprehensive platform for self-growth

We do not treat our members as characterless cogs of a machine. We will not ignore any individual’s aspiration for self-growth.

We have been working under a research system that integrates scientific, technological, and engineering projects. By making full use of our own research funds and collaborative projects, we have created a favorable platform that enables young researchers to undertake key tasks, apply for research projects, and participate in academic exchanges. Every member of our Lab will find a suitable career path here and realize their aspirations step by step.

We highly value the growth and development of each individual, and have therefore established a comprehensive training system to provide our members with targeted and individualized training programs.

5.    A pleasant work environment for a better life

We disagree with the “996” or “007” work schedule, and believe that people who work hard should not suffer losses. We support those who work hard and reward those who make achievements. We are committed to improving the lives of our members.
