On August 23, 2022, 32 major Pudong science and technology industry projects, including the second phase of Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Island and Zhangjiang Pharmaceutical Valley Industrialization Base, started construction, with an investment of 63.474 billion yuan; Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Cruise Assembly, Huayu Automotive Technology R&D Center 18 major engineering projects in cities and districts have issued proposals to seize the progress and accelerate investment; 27 city-level and district-level technological transformation projects such as Roche Pharmaceuticals and Zhenhua Heavy Industry have been put into production, of which 10 technological transformation projects have an investment of 100 million yuan. yuan or more.

It is understood that major projects are an important part of the construction of the leading area, and an important carrier to comprehensively enhance the industrial energy level and core competitiveness and build a world-class industrial cluster. In the first half of 2022, Pudong's industrial development overcame the unexpected impact, experienced the impact of the epidemic in April, and accelerated the resumption of work and production in May, and fully recovered in June. From January to July, completed industrial investment of 33.187 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%, accounting for 46.2% of Shanghai's industrial investment.

32 major industrial science and technology projects

Among the 32 start-up projects, Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Island Phase II, Zhangjiang Pharmaceutical Valley Industrialization Base, Zhangjiang Shanghai Integrated Circuit Design Industry Complex and other projects will further focus on the three leading industries of artificial intelligence, biomedicine and integrated circuits, and make every effort to build Pudong. Three world-class industrial clusters provide strong support; a number of technological transformation projects, such as Cadillac L233 pure electric vehicle product technical transformation, U458 large luxury commercial vehicle and its variants, have all started in 2022, which will further improve Pudong's future car, intelligent manufacturing, etc. A number of industrial R&D projects such as Shanghai Clinical Research Center and Phase III of Free Trade One are already under construction of pile foundations, which will help Pudong gather innovation resources and strengthen innovation policy sources.

Among them, the second phase of artificial intelligence island has an investment of 4.236 billion yuan and a planned land area of 42,857 square meters. According to the plan, the project consists of 3 R&D office towers, a library and supporting businesses, a performance hall, and a sports hall, creating an innovative urban complex integrating living, office, entertainment and multi-functionality. It will effectively alleviate the shortage of industrial space in the core area of Zhangjiang, gather resources in hard-core fields such as artificial intelligence and Metaverse, create the advantages of Zhangjiang in the new era, and form core competitiveness, park competitiveness and industrial competitiveness. It is expected to be completed in 2026.

The Shanghai integrated circuit design industry complex project has an investment of 4.43 billion yuan and covers an area of 43504.9 square meters. The overall space ascends from west to east, forming eight highlight spaces: Zhangjiang Eye, Tianmu Block, Pandora Garden, Liuyun Terrace, Variety Atrium, Xingchen Square, Rooftop Paradise and Time Passage. It will be designed to be an innovative ecological community of co-governance and sharing, a source of scientific and technological innovation where masters gather, and an innovative atmosphere where scientific and technological talents come from near and far.

27 technical transformation projects

Since 2021, a total of 27 technological transformation projects in Pudong New Area have been completed, accepted and put into production, with a total investment of 2.47 billion yuan and an industrial output value of 201.458 billion yuan.

"Thanks to the escort of the Pudong New Area government for the company, Roche has now passed through the special period smoothly." Bian Xin, President of Roche Pharmaceuticals China, said, "Pudong is a pioneer in China's realization of a higher level of reform and opening up, and a leader in China's biotechnology industry. As the main front of pharmaceutical innovation and development, Roche will continue to take root in Shanghai, China, based in Pudong, and join hands with many parties to jointly create a biopharmaceutical innovation ecosystem."

Pudong New Area Science and Technology Commission revealed that in the next step, Pudong New Area will continue to dynamically track services to solve practical problems, pay close attention to the increase in industrial investment, strengthen visits to key industrial investment enterprises to explore growth points, and provide CAR-T, CAR-NK and other cell industries. And emerging industrial forms such as the integrated development of secondary and tertiary industries will strengthen analysis, research and judgment, and form more industrial investment cases. Stabilize the stock of industrial investment, keep the annual industrial investment target of 71.5 billion yuan unchanged, strengthen the investment analysis of the top 100 industrial enterprises, establish and improve the project tracking system, and ensure that projects start as soon as possible.
