Yanjiao Development Zone: The new material industry has sprung up everywhere

Yanjiao Development Zone continues to follow a development path that emphasizes large-scale projects driving growth, attracting investment to fuel progress, and promoting emerging industries for sustainable expansion. With continuous improvements in project construction and industrial clustering, the zone is steadily advancing toward its long-term goals.

In addition to its dual-driven model of high-tech industries and high-end modern service sectors, Yanjiao is actively cultivating strategic emerging industries. Key industrial clusters such as new materials, new energy, electronic information, and advanced equipment manufacturing are rapidly developing, contributing more significantly to the regional economy. Among these, the new materials industry is particularly prominent. Building upon existing strengths in solar monocrystalline silicon chips, photographic materials, and super-hard materials, the sector is expanding further. A major project called the "Hanyuan Global R&D Center" with a planned investment of hundreds of billions and 10,000 R&D personnel is set to be established. This will become a world-leading research center and manufacturing base for photovoltaic materials, technology, and applications.

Another significant initiative includes the non-ferrous metal new materials and equipment manufacturing industrial base project, which focuses on semiconductor materials, rare earth metallurgy, non-ferrous metal composites, superconducting materials, and related equipment development across multiple fields. In collaboration with the Geological Survey Bureau's mineral resources and superhard materials R&D center project, Yanjiao is striving to establish one of the largest new materials R&D and production bases in China. These efforts demonstrate the zone’s commitment to fostering innovation, attracting investment, and building a sustainable and competitive industrial ecosystem.
