I. General Requirements

　　(1) Guiding Principles. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we will fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and all plenary sessions of the 19th Central Committee, thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions regarding Inner Mongolia, and consciously align with and serve the autonomous region’s strategic positioning of “two barriers,” “two bases,” andone bridgehead,” taking the deepening of institutional and mechanism reforms and the creation of a favorable innovation ecosystem as the starting points, with scientific and technological innovation as the core, the construction of green ecological industrial parks and the development of a high-efficiency, low-carbon economy as the goals, and the building of leading industrial clusters and the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements as the priorities. We will continuously promote the high-end, green, and intelligent development of our city’s High-Tech Industrial Development Zone, and resolutely follow a new path of high-quality development guided by ecological priority and green development.

　　(2) Development Goals. By 2025, the innovation capacity of the High-Tech Industrial Development Zone will be significantly enhanced; the pace of transformation and upgrading of traditional industries will accelerate; emerging industrial clusters will continue to expand; the ecological environment will continue to improve; and the overall quality of development will be significantly elevated, achieving green and circular development.

　　— Significantly enhanced innovation capacity. By 2025, seven new corporate R&D centers, 15 new high-tech enterprises, and eight new corporate technology centers will be established, with the total industrial output value of high-tech enterprises accounting for more than 35% of the High-Tech Industrial Development Zone’s total output value.

　　— Accelerated transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Focusing on the development of the two major traditional industrial bases—coal-coke and chlor-alkali chemicals—the region will gradually shift from a resource-dependent model to an innovation-driven one, extending industrial chains toward the mid-to-downstream segments and moving up the value chain toward the mid-to-high end.

　　——Emerging industrial clusters continue to expand. Focusing on the development of two major bases—new energy and new materials—we will concentrate efforts on building a new materials industrial cluster centered on biodegradable plastics and a new energy industrial cluster centered on photovoltaic and hydrogen energy upstream and downstream products. By 2025, the output value of the High-Tech Industrial Development Zone’s leading industries will account for over 60% of the total output value.

　　— The ecological environment continues to improve. The level of green and low-carbon development will be significantly enhanced, the ecological environment will reach a new level, and environmental protection infrastructure will be fully completed. The reduction rates for total emissions of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will meet the assessment targets set by the autonomous region.

　　——Steady improvement in development quality. By the end of 2025, the zone will apply for designation as a national-level high-tech industrial development zone, with total output value exceeding 200 billion yuan, total tax revenue surpassing 8 billion yuan, output value per mu reaching over 1.6 million yuan, and tax revenue per mu exceeding 70,000 yuan.

　　——Achieve green and circular development. Uphold the concept of ecological civilization, strictly adhere to ecological protection red lines, and promote energy conservation, emissions reduction, the phasing out of outdated production capacity, and the recycling of resources. By 2025, energy consumption per unit of GDP in the High-Tech Industrial Development Zone will decrease by 15% compared to 2020; total energy consumption will be reasonably controlled; the economy and society will transition from an extensive, high-carbon model to a green, low-carbon model; and efforts will be made to actively build a zero-carbon pilot industrial park.
