Jiading District actively constructs a modern industrial system, focusing on the development of key industries such as "new automobiles"
"Automobiles are the DNA of Jiading." On August 22nd, the "High quality Development in Shencheng" series of municipal government press conferences held a special session in Jiading, where Jiading District Party Secretary Lu Fangzhou made a clear start.
The famous "Automobile City" of Jiading is an important comprehensive node city in the Yangtze River Delta along the Shanghai Nanjing development axis, as well as an industrial hub and manufacturing region in Shanghai. The reporter learned at the meeting that Jiading is currently continuously promoting and catalyzing the "new automobile" industry cluster, while actively building modern industrial systems such as the "new four modernizations" of automobiles, high-performance medical equipment and precision medicine, intelligent sensors and the Internet of Things, and online new economy. In the first half of this year, the total output value of industrial enterprises above designated size in Jiading District reached 200.16 billion yuan, an increase of 11.1%.
Seize new opportunities in the industry and run at an accelerated pace
In April this year, the first batch of intelligent connected rental demonstration operations in the city were launched in Jiading. Enterprises such as Baidu Zhixing, Baodong Technology, Saike Chuxing, and Volkswagen Rental were awarded vehicle demonstration operation certificates. "On the streets of Jiading, citizens and tourists can get a taxi with autonomous driving. Currently, more than 700 autonomous vehicles have been tested and demonstrated in Jiading, accounting for 77% and 86% of the city's total testing mileage and duration, respectively." said Lu Fangzhou.

"New cars" are naturally relative to "old cars". In recent years, Jiading has intuitively experienced the upgrading of the automotive industry from "old" to "new". On the one hand, the driving force of the traditional automotive industry has weakened, and on the other hand, the trend of "new cars" characterized by "electrification, intelligence, networking, and sharing" is surging. Jiading seizes the opportunity and actively embraces new changes in the automotive industry.
Among the more than 4300 companies in the Jiading automotive industry chain, there are currently global vehicle research and development and manufacturing giants such as Volkswagen, Volvo, and Toyota, as well as new force brands such as NIO, Ideal, Jidu, and Zhiji. Last year, the scale of Jiading's automobile industry exceeded 830 billion yuan, with a total output of 164.69 billion yuan from the "new four modernizations" of automobiles.
In terms of carriers, based on the deep cultivation of hydrogen ports, new energy ports, and innovation ports, Jiading launched the construction of Shanghai Intelligent Automotive Software Park and Automotive Core Valley last year. The layout of the "three ports and two parks" carriers for the "new four modernizations" of automobiles has been completed, gathering more than 600 automotive "new four modernizations" enterprises.
According to Lu Fangzhou, Jiading has gathered over 200 public and enterprise research and development platforms, as well as 76000 automotive talents, and has established two major industrial alliances: intelligent connected vehicles and hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles. "By 2025, the scale of the intelligent connected vehicle industry in Jiading District aims to reach 300 billion yuan, promoting the transformation of 300 traditional car companies towards the 'new four modernizations'."

Steadily building a modern industrial system
On August 18th, there was a new move in the industrial development of Jiading District - the construction of an industrial town around the leading enterprise Lianying Medical. This "Lianying Town" located in the Jiading Industrial Zone has a total land area of about 9.5 square kilometers, covering the old towns of Zhuqiao and Loutang, as well as the areas along the Baoqian Highway. It will better leverage the leading enterprises to drive and create a "forest belt" around the "big trees", forming an industrial cluster.
This is a microcosm of the steady construction of a modern industrial system in Jiading District. In addition to the "new four modernizations" of automobiles, Jiading District also focuses on high-performance medical equipment and precision medicine, intelligent sensors and the Internet of Things, online new economy, etc., cultivating new industrial momentum.
In terms of high-performance medical equipment and precision medicine, Jiading District has formed a group of listed enterprises represented by leading enterprises such as Lianying, Sanyou Medical, and Kangdelai, with a total output value of 23.58 billion yuan in 2022. In terms of intelligent sensors and the Internet of Things, Jiading is building the "North Wing" of the city's integrated circuit layout, forming an important integrated circuit production line layout that covers pilot testing, research and development, and mass production. In terms of online new economy, in 2022, Jiading achieved a total output of 311.92 billion yuan and completed e-commerce retail sales of 101.74 billion yuan, accounting for about 30% of the city's total.

Characteristic parks are important spatial carriers for industrial development. According to Lu Tielong, Director of the Jiading District Economic Committee, there are currently 19 characteristic industrial parks in Jiading, including 3 municipal level characteristic parks and 16 district level characteristic parks. "We hope to make the park a node in the industrial resource network, enabling enterprises to find upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain within the park, and leading industrial agglomeration."
Jiading, where research institutes gather, also focuses on leveraging its strong technological resource advantages and continuously optimizing the innovation ecosystem. Xie Dongsheng, Director of the Science and Technology Commission of Jiading District, stated that Jiading is currently focusing on "0-1" and promoting the construction of key projects such as the "Small Modular Thorium Based Molten Salt Reactor" of the Institute of Applied Physics and the "Shanghai Shenguang Comprehensive Experimental Platform" of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics. At the same time, focusing on "1-10" and "10-100", relying on platforms such as the Academician Achievement Transformation Center and Shanghai Institute of Microengineering, key technologies and industry common technologies are being jointly researched and developed to promote the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements.
In the first half of this year, 27000 new enterprises were established in Jiading District, an increase of 79%; 167 billion yuan projects were introduced, an increase of 70.4%; 1314 enterprises have completed intelligent manufacturing diagnostic evaluations, ranking first in the city in terms of quantity.
