Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Zone
The Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Zone was founded in September 2017 upon government approval, subsequently enjoying the status of a provincial-level economic and technological development zone.
Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Zone is nested in the southern core area of Changzhi City (Shanxi Province). Access to the area is facilitated by convenient, smooth transportation: the Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Zone is located 8.8 kilometers away from Changzhi Wangcun Airport, 8 kilometers from Changzhi High-Speed Railway East Station, and a mere 4.1 kilometers away from Changzhi High-Speed Railway South Station. In its vicinity about 200 kilometers away stands a string of cities such as Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Jiaozuo, Anyang, Handan and Taiyuan. Thus, the Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Zone is a frontier enabling Changzhi City to open up to the outside world.
The industrial strengths of the Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Zone are equally apparent, presently housing 1,005 high-caliber enterprises: 87 "Top 4" enterprises, 39 enterprises above designed size (earning at least 20 million yuan per year), and 27 high-tech enterprises. Companies and institutions such as the Tsinghua University School of Aerospace Engineering, Shanghai Huaihai Commercial (Group) Co., Ltd., Berjaya Corporation Berhad (Advanced Equipment Manufacturing), China Hi-Tech Group Co.,Ltd, Beijing Rishengda Construction Enterprises Group (Photovoltaics), Sino-German Group, and Shanxi Yitong Environmental Energy Technology Group Co., Ltd. (representing the three leading industries of new materials) have also established their operational grounds in the premises.
The Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Zone also presents optimal conditions for businesses through the ever-ongoing evolution of its business environment and service functions. A battery of national and provincial policies and measures have been fully implemented in order to support the development of private enterprises. A duo of guidelines known as "Management Measures for the Implementation of Preferential Policies for Investment Promotion Projects in Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Zone" and "Support Measures for Promoting the Development of Emerging Industries at Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Zone" regulate aspects such as land and tax, fostering the greatest degree of preferential treatment available to investors. The Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Zone has continued to promote reforms in the formula of " system of commitment + sample plot policy + one-stop support", so as to form a standard approval system of "one sample plot, one commitment and one-stop support” before the start of construction.
Guided by a resolve to seize new opportunities in a new era, the Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Zone is quickly developing to gain acknowledgment as a national economic and technological development zone, implementing a development model rooted in innovation while strengthening the integration of industrial chains and actively connecting regional and urban development patterns, all in all establishing an advanced equipment manufacturing industry as the ultimate development goal. The fields of photovoltaics and new materials lend dynamics to this development zone, shaping a charming eco-city endowed with a bustling urban core supported by a modern service industry.
