The area will, based on Chang Guang Satellite Technology, develop the space industry and become a nationally influential center for satellite application demonstration, R&D and manufacturing.
It also hopes to attract leading companies such as Guangdong Longhao Aviation Group Co Ltd to help it to become an important general aviation industrial center in northeastern China.
The area plans to use the snow and ice resources of Jilin by dedicating resources to the development and manufacturing of ice and snow equipment.
It has attracted a high-end ice and snow equipment manufacturing project from Shandong Taishan Sports Industry Group, which it hopes will make the area an important production center for such equipment.
Changchun New Area also hopes to house the largest biological medicine industrial park in Asia.
Related organizations in the area can already produce 24 kinds of vaccines, which the area hopes will drive the development of a large biological vaccine industrial cluster.
The area is home to GeneScience Pharmaceuticals, a large genetic engineering pharmaceutical enterprise, and will use the company’s needs and experiences to develop a related industrial chain.
New materials and energy technology production is expected to depend heavily on research organizations and universities such as the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Jilin University.
The field will prioritize development of new materials, new energy automobiles and biomass energy technologies and related products.
Officials at Changchun New Area said that promoting modern agriculture is a fundamental way to help farmers to increase income and boost agricultural productivity nationwide.
The area views modern agriculture one of its sectors with the most potential. It will depend on Jilin’s rich natural resources, solid agricultural foundation and the strength of its brands’ R&D to build modern agricultural systems.
It aims to improve production of vegetables, meat, eggs and milk and help the country become more self-sufficient in fresh food.
The emerging area will also boost rural tourism based on agriculture and build modern agricultural parks that promote technology and provide products to visitors.
The United Nations Office for Project Services and Changchun New Area agreed to develop an international demonstration area for the agriculture and food safety industries.
The project, with total investment valued at 30 billion yuan ($4.35 billion), will use technologies like big data, cloud computing and geographic information systems to tackle food safety problems.
The project plans to stretch industrial chains and expand industrial scale by adding fields such as advanced biological science and technology, finance, e-commerce trade of agricultural products and food safety accountability systems.
The area plans to use its strengths in high-tech information technology to develop an internationally- influential modern services sector.
Trade logistics is among those modern services the area will center around, focusing on transport, e-commerce and opening-up.
Aviation, railway and road logistics will also be promoted in the area, which will build some e-commerce logistics parks to expedite crossborder e-commerce.
The area also focuses on development of parks specifically built to serve leading industries.
The area hopes to foster 10 symbolic parks, including a high-end equipment manufacturing industrial park, a new energy vehicle industry park, a biomedicine industrial park and an aerospace information industrial park.
The 10 parks that contain projects of service platforms and incubators will help to promote the opening-up of the industrial system in the area.
