In recent years, Jiangning District of Nanjing has seized the commanding heights of innovation and development and made good plans in technological development and talent recruitment with a global vision so as to accelerate its high-quality development.
China has long relied on imports for ultra-low temperature equipment. The ultra-low temperature equipment independently developed by CSIC Pride Nanjing Cryogenic Technology Co., Ltd. has not only broken the foreign monopoly, but also received orders from many European and American research institutions and universities because of its excellent quality.
CSIC Pride is not alone when it comes to promoting hi-tech industry through innovation. Smart power grid companies such as Guodian Nanjing Automation Co., Ltd and Phoenix spearhead industrial development. Esteon Robots, Subote New Materials and other "invisible champions" have occupied the core of the industry chain. Frontier Biotech and Mindray Medical have broken the international monopoly with their cutting-edge products.
Jiangning district is now home to more than 100 intelligent manufacturing companies and 25 smart factories, accounting for half of the city’s total. More than 20 international pioneering technologies and more than 100 products have broken international monopoly.
The pioneering innovation strength is attributed to the excellent innovation soil and generous talent policy. Nanjing Hairong Pharmaceutical, which has been established for 6 years, is one of the beneficiaries.
When in its infancy, the company was offered 700 square meters of standard laboratories and 1 million yuan of support funds by the hi-tech zone administration. Gathering momentum, it also received a loan discount of 10 million yuan and a reduction in the rent of the factory venues. It is in the whole process of Jiangning District. With the firm support from the district government, Nanjing Hairong Pharmaceutical was able to get listed on the new third board through three years of development.
A series of wide-covering and multi-level talent service policies have enabled Jiangning to build a talent highland. Statistics show that Jiangning has recruited 305,000 talents, making it the first talent highland in the province. The establishment of an open innovation cooperation network with a global vision has further expanded Jiangning's "international circle of friends." In the just-concluded Nanjing Tech Week, many high-end talents visited Jiangning for cooperation opportunities.
Spearheaded by innovation, Jiangning has built a "3+3+3+1" modern industrial system, and is accelerating the construction of five major industrial landmarks such as smart grid, green smart car, biomedicine, future network and aviation manufacturing. It will also bring together 75 new R&D institutions such as the future network innovation research institute and Jiangsu MEMS Intelligent Sensor Research Institute. The district is now home to 768 high-tech enterprises with the output value of high-tech industries exceeding 200 billion yuan.
