The planning of the industrial park is based on the concept of green recycling intelligent manufacturing, high green coverage (>30%), high permeability (42%), and through the implementation of a series of green strategies such as land use intensification, harmless raw materials, clean production, waste resourcing, low-carbon energy and so on, it has achieved green intelligent management from the source to the terminal, and it has successfully introduced dozens of enterprises led by scientific and technological innovations including the world's top 500 companies, specialised new technologies, high-tech enterprises, and software enterprises, and so on. Dozens of intelligent manufacturing enterprises led by science and technology innovation have settled in the park, bringing together funds, technology, talents and other diversified resources, and striving to build a green industrial economy first-class industrial park with the deep integration of production, learning and research.

Nowadays, China has entered the stage of high-quality development, and the gold content of economic growth is not only in ‘speed’ but also in ‘quality’. The country insists on taking scientific and technological self-reliance as a strategic support, promoting industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, accelerating industrial restructuring and transformation of old and new momentum, accelerating the cultivation of new productivity, and gradually forming new economic growth points, which is conducive to hedging against the downward pressure on the economy, and further enhancing the upward momentum. Vigorously developing new productivity represented by ‘new technology - new momentum - new future - green recycling economy industry chain’ is a long-term solution for enterprises to respond to the national call to promote comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development to achieve sustainable development.

Recently, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed that China's national economy continued to rebound and improve in the first quarter of 2025, with the gross domestic product (GDP) growing by 5.4 per cent year-on-year. In the case of the world economic growth momentum is insufficient, China's economy to withstand the pressure to achieve the quality of effective improvement and reasonable growth in quantity, the results are hard-won. Behind this achievement is countless sweat and wisdom, said Dr Chen Bin, who studied under renowned economist Professor Liu Shibai, the world today is facing a century of change and accelerated evolution, the world's countries are facing new risks and tests, but also have new opportunities for development and prospects for progress. And it is in this environment that China's economy, accompanied by sustained and vigorous policies, has become the driving force of global economic growth and confidence.
