Three National Strategic Demonstration Zones in the Sci-Tech City
Practice area of national regional integrative development
China's President Xi Jinping has attached primary importance to the integrative construction of the Yangtze River Delta, stressing that Shanghai should play a leading role in the Yangtze River Delta cooperation and communication, which is not only required by the development need of Shanghai, but also a mission entrusted by China's Central Government.
The Sci-Tech City is a crucial act taken by Shanghai and Zhejiang to implement the strategy of the integrative development of Yangtze River Delta. The Sci-Tech City is also a bridgehead connecting Shanghai and Zhejiang, blossoming into an effectively cooperation carrier and demonstration zone of the integrative development of Yangtze River Delta, as well as the first practice area of inter-provincial integration in China.
National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone
Innovation-driven development is the national and local core strategy. Zhangjiang National Innovation Demonstration Zone is China’s own brand admitted at home and abroad, a strategic highland and core carrier for China to implement the strategy of innovation-driven development and foster strategic emerging industries, and an important base for Shanghai to implement the strategy of national innovation-driven development.
As the first inter-provincial integrative development project launched by the Zhangjiang National Innovation Demonstration Zone, the Sci-Tech City will become an important carrier for Shanghai to establish the globally influential and provide services to the Yangtze River Delta Region and other regions in China, and will certainly become a demonstration zone of national strategy of innovation-driven development.
National New-type Urbanization Pilot Zone
The 18th National People’s Congress pointed out that China’s biggest bonus is urbanization, and the development direction of the urbanization is industrialization, informatization and modernization. The pattern of “integration of industry and city” is the very direction of future urbanization development.
Jiaxing City in Zhejiang and Jinshan district in Shanghai where the Sci-Tech City is located are both listed in national new-type urbanization pilot zones, while Fengjing is also a pilot town of national development of small towns, which will provide a great development opportunity for the Sci-Tech City to implement the national strategy of new-type urbanization and establish the first trans-provincial new-type urbanization pilot zone.
Location advantage
Shanghai-Zhejiang Integration, Margin Becomes Core
The Sci-Tech City is located in the heart of the Yangtze River Delta city cluster, one of the six city clusters in the world, a vital international gateway of the Asian-Pacific region, and China’s biggest city cluster, and is the southwest gateway of Shanghai and the northeast gateway of Zhejiang.
Transportation advantage
High-speed Railway:The North Jishan Station of Shanghai-Hangzhou High-speed Railway in the Sci-Tech City is only 15-minute drivefrom Hongqiao Business District, 15-minute drive to Jiaxing and 30-minute driveto Hangzhou.
Expressway: It’s only 30-40 minutes’ drive to Xujiahui Commercial Center. Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway and Tinglin-Fengjing Expressway in the Sci-Tech City are connected with Shenjiahu Expressway, connecting Shanghai with major cities in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui.
Airlines:It’s only 30-60 minutes’ drive to Hongqiao, Pudong, Xiaoshan, Ningbo and Su’nan airports.
Rail Transportation:The subway rail construction in the overall planning of the Sci-Tech City will further facilitate the transportation in the future.
Shipping: There are seven major direct shipping routes to Shanghai and16 river transport lanes connecting Shanghai with Hangzhou, Suzhou and Ningbo. The Sci-Tech City owns the only national first-class export-import seaport in Northern Zhejiang—Jiaxing Port.

Brand advantage
Based on Shanghai Resource, Create Yangtze River Delta New Brand
Shanghai brand
Shanghai is blossoming in to an international center of economy, finance, trade and shipping, and is a bridgehead attracting high-end resources. The “Shanghai brand” of the Sci-Tech City is very likely to be a huge magnetic field drawing international capital and technology.
Shanghai Free Trade Pilot Zone ratified by the State Council brings a golden opportunity of development to Shanghai as well as to the Yangtze River Delta. The Sci-Tech City is the very bridgehead enjoying an easy access to superior resources of the Shanghai Free Trade Pilot Zone.
The establishment of a global sci-tech innovative center is the No. 1 item on the agenda of the Shanghai Municipal Government, of which the Sci-Tech City is a significant part.
Zhangjiang brand
As one of the demonstration zones of national independent innovation, Zhangjiang has been a globally acknowledged brand of national independent innovation, and a vital platform and carrier for China’s sci-tech innovation and innovation-driven development.
Zhangjiang harbors a great number of enterprises and resources in Shanghai. However, the space of Zhangjiang Park in downtown Shanghai is very limited, failing to satisfy the growing needs of existent enterprises. The Sci-Tech City can take over the overflowing enterprises and industries in Zhangjiang Park via “Zhangjiang brand”.
Yangtze River Delta Brand
Relying on the favorable location—the center of the Yangtze River Delta city cluster, and based on the coordinated development of Shanghai and Zhejiang, the Sci-Tech City will increase its influence and attraction via the “Yangtze River Delta brand” so as to maximize the regional value.
Meanwhile, due to the enormous volume of the project, the land resource advantage is obvious, and the Sci-Tech City can easily enhance the social influence of “Yangtze River Delta brand”, and easily generate the scale effect.
