What does Anji have? In the Yangtze River Delta, Anji is famous for its bamboo forest, which is a tourist destination not far from Shanghai and Hangzhou. It reminds people that green mountains and clear waters are like mountains of gold and silver. When it comes to industries, ordinary people may not necessarily have an impression, but they can probably name a chair industry.
In recent years, without realizing it, Anji's new economy has flourished.

Since June last year, Anji's new economic industry has covered sub sectors such as life and health, metaverse, new energy, new materials, new retail, new education, new entertainment, and new services, with a cumulative revenue of 5 billion yuan. It is expected that the cumulative revenue will exceed 10 billion yuan by the end of the year.
Good projects are attracted by the green mountains and clear waters, and of course, there is also the contribution of cadres in attracting investment. Xu Jie, Secretary of the Party Group of Anji County Investment Promotion Center, introduced that Anji has set up 20 new economy attraction special classes in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Zhejiang, and southern Jiangsu, and provided professional knowledge training on fund investment and financing for these classes. They have increased investment in new economy projects through due diligence, improving the quality and efficiency of project implementation. "Now when the other party talks about professional terms such as cornerstone investment and project direct investment, they can quickly talk about it." Zhu Dongsheng, the director of the Beijing Investment Promotion Branch of the county, exclaimed that this year's new investment model has benefited our group of old investors greatly. Whether it is negotiation ability and skills, or mastery of capital market professional knowledge, everyone has significantly improved.
Since the beginning of this year, Anji has gathered a team of senior professional talents who understand industries, policies, and markets. It has established a fund matrix consisting of 26 sub funds with a total scale of over 10 billion yuan, and has maintained cooperation with more than 60 professional consulting institutions. At the same time, Anji is accelerating the construction of a number of ecological green platforms with good environment, beautiful scenery, and convenient transportation, such as the "Two Mountains" Future Science and Technology City, Yucun Scenic Area, and Lingfeng Smart Green Valley, to gather new people and layout a new economy in the beautiful scenery. "The office and green mountains are only separated by a piece of ground glass" has become a norm. As of now, 50 new economy projects have been discussed and 26 signed and implemented in the new economy investment promotion.
On June 3rd, Nobel laureate in Chemistry Michael Levitt was invited to Anji to attend the first Zhejiang Anji Precision Medical Industry Alliance Conference in 2023. "This is the fourth forum and conference we have held on the life and health industry, with the aim of promoting the development of the Anji biopharmaceutical industry chain, accelerating the construction of a globally advanced biopharmaceutical characteristic industry cluster, and helping the life and health industry settled in Anji to complement each other's advantages and achieve coordinated development."

While attracting good projects, Anji actively guides traditional enterprises to cluster in the new economy, clarifying the upgrade path of "digital workshop intelligent factory future factory".
"Using the method of making cars to make chairs." In front of the Henglin Future Factory project located in Xiaoyuan Street, Anji County, Cai Bin, the relevant person in charge of Henglin Home Furnishings Co., Ltd., proudly said that the main building of the project is expected to be completed by the end of this year, and the product delivery cycle will be shortened from 35 days to 7 days after completion. At the same time, future factories can use 3D technology, simulation technology, sensor technology, and human perception technology to understand user usage habits, remind users to maintain healthy sitting positions in real time, and provide basic data for personalized customization. Coincidentally, in the Botai furniture production workshop, there is a terminal device with an electronic screen standing in front of each production line, and people occasionally come to inspect it. "This is our 'enterprise brain' that can check product processes, order progress, machine operation status, worker task allocation, and other information at any time," said Cheng Xu, Director of Botai Information. Leading green home furnishing enterprises such as Henglin, Hutong, Zhongyuan, and Botai are accelerating their demand for digital production capacity and space. Through the construction of the "Enterprise Brain" system alone, the completion rate of production plans has been increased by 22%, the product quality qualification rate has been increased by 4.9%, the inventory of work in progress has been reduced by 24%, and the overall production efficiency has been improved by more than 20%.
