Tianjin High-tech Area on fast track to build first-class sci-tech innovation city in northern China

TIANJIN, China, Sept. 6, 2024 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/– Tianjin Binhai High-tech Industrial Development Area (thereafter referred to as “Tianjin High-tech Area”) was established in 1988 with the approval of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Tianjin Municipal People’s Government. It was approved by the State Council as one of the first national high-tech industrial development areas in 1991, and was nodded to set up a national independent innovation demonstration zone in 2014.

Currently, a high-end industrial system called “113X” has been formed, with the new generation information technology industry as the leading sector, and supported by the new economy services, biopharmaceuticals, new energy, and high-end equipment manufacturing sectors.

Tianjin High-tech Area (https://www.tht.gov.cn) has maintained its leading position in Tianjin in terms of key technological innovation indicators. Leveraging the advantages of being a national independent innovation demonstration zone, a free trade zone and the synergy between the two, the area has become a region with abundant innovation resources, the highest number of independent intellectual property rights, and the greatest potential for economic growth.

Efforts are currently underway to turn the area into an upgraded version of national independent innovation demonstration zone and establish a first-class science and technology innovation city in northern China.

Tianjin High-tech Area has gathered a group of strategic emerging industries represented by Sugon, Phytium, Kylinsoft, and 360. It has built a product chain covering chip operating systems, databases and servers. The focus is on developing three core chains: basic hardware, system software, and new generation information technology and services, as well as information security and all-field applications.

The area’s new economy services sector includes companies such as Cloudaccount, Douyin Group, and GoGoX, as well as institutions like the intellectual property protection center, Tianjin science and technology financial center, Tianjin Huawei Kunpeng ecosystem innovation center, and Tianjin innovation and entrepreneurship service platform.

The new energy industry is led by TCL Zhonghuan Renewable Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and CETC, with LiShen, B&M Science and Technology, and Saidemei being representative companies in the field of power batteries. In the wind power sector, Mingyang, Siemens Gamesa, and National Wind Energy are representative companies.
