I gently flipped through the calendar, returning to the end of May.

The sunlight streaming through the window seemed particularly gentle. Suddenly, a line of eye-catching text caught my eye:

With a total investment of 5 billion yuan, another major project has settled in Xindu.

This headline, like a pebble creating ripples, instantly shattered the quiet of the office.

The arrival of this major project undoubtedly contributes significantly to industrial innovation and regional development. And the story behind its investment attraction is no ordinary one.

In just a few short months, the project team recognized the potential and chose to invest in Xindu, Sichuan. What were the reasons behind this decision?

For Xindu’s investment promotion efforts, the focus is not merely on quantitative growth but also on qualitative improvement.

It is clear that the “Xindu Speed” demonstrated in securing this 5 billion yuan investment project was made possible by the “Xindu Advantage.”

Leading Enterprise: Electronics Manufacturing Service Provider

Urban development cannot exist without industry, and industrial development cannot thrive without enterprises. The logic of how cities engage with enterprises has quietly shifted.

Compared to the previously one-sided approach to “investment promotion,” a more two-way strategy of “taking the initiative and working side by side” is emerging as a new approach.

Shifting from “what we want” to “what we have and what we still need,” leveraging key leverage points to mobilize high-quality resources, and injecting strong momentum into investment promotion.

Projects are the “lifeblood” of investment promotion.

As a service provider for regional economic development, we have joined forces with Xindu District to work in concert, ensuring that the snowball of industrial development “grows ever larger.”

Through the introduction of Jinggu River Alliance, a 5-billion-yuan precision electronics manufacturing and application base project has been established in Xindu District.

The project developer is Nanjing Yunheng Electronics Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a company specializing in the R&D, production, and sales of electronic products, committed to becoming a globally leading electronics manufacturing service provider.

The company has long been deeply involved in the consumer electronics, industrial electronics, and automotive electronics sectors. It primarily provides clients with integrated electronic industry chain services, including product R&D, PCB manufacturing, electronic components, 3D printing, CNC machining, mold injection molding, PCBA manufacturing, and testing and experimentation.

Phase One will establish the Yunheng Manufacturing Southwest Regional Center, the Integrated Circuit PCBA Manufacturing and Application Center, and a domestic EDA-based online PCB design platform. The manufacturing center will be equipped with more than 10 fully automated SMT assembly lines, 6 DIP wave soldering lines, and 4 assembly lines, with a daily production capacity exceeding 40 million components.Concurrently, an online one-stop PCBA service platform will be established, offering features such as one-click ordering, online quoting, electronic contracts, and end-to-end order tracking.

Phase II will establish an electronic components supply chain center and a startup, incubation, and acceleration center for enterprises within the Yunheng Manufacturing ecosystem.

Phase III will expand the production scale of Phases I and II and establish a comprehensive integrated production and R&D base combining operational headquarters, R&D, smart manufacturing, and supply chain functions.

Once the project is implemented, it will comprehensively establish world-leading electronic manufacturing and innovative application services. This holds significant importance for Xindu District in perfecting its electronic information industry ecosystem, building a high-quality modern industrial system, and driving regional development.

I am increasingly convinced that investment promotion is truly an art—though it has no fixed form, those who succeed always have that “winning touch.”

In Xindu, whether it’s the government’s comprehensive services, the spatial guarantees of industrial land and infrastructure resources, or various industrial support measures, all point to one thing:

Quality projects have land to settle on, quality enterprises have facilities to occupy, and businesses can always trust Xindu for their investments.

In the future, as government and enterprises work in harmony and move forward together, we will achieve the goal of signing agreements, commencing construction, starting production, and meeting scale requirements all within the same year, with an annual output value exceeding 3 billion yuan once full production is reached.

Speaking of project commissioning, the successful trial operation of Weiyun Youlian’s 5G fully connected factory automation production line in Xindu is particularly impressive.

Adopting a “single-stream production line” model, it takes just 15 minutes to complete the entire process—from material feeding to shipment—for a single network communication terminal product. Daily production capacity will reach 300,000 units, with an annual capacity of 100 million units.
Even more astonishing is that this is the largest single-site 5G fully connected factory in terms of investment scale in Sichuan and even the entire Southwest region. Officially established in Xindu at the end of 2020, it has set multiple records for “Xindu Speed” from signing the agreement to the launch of Phase I and the operation of Phase II.

The New Quality Era: An Industrial Chain Rich in "Innovation"

Located at the northern gateway of Chengdu and long known for its industrial foundation, Xindu is not only exploring “what it has” but also contemplating a deeper question: “what the city needs.”

In addition to the “four pillars” of traditional industries—namely, “pharmaceuticals” represented by Kelun Pharmaceutical, “beverages” by COFCO Coca-Cola, “beer” by CR Snow, and “tea” by Dali Foods—

Among them, Kelun Pharmaceutical, a company that originated in Xindu, had its own “moment of glory” last year—becoming the first enterprise in Xindu to surpass 10 billion yuan in output value.

Meanwhile, the phrase “reaching for the skies and delving into the earth” is how outsiders describe the local emerging industries.

Whether it be rail transit, the aviation industry, or other high-tech sectors, Xindu embodies the characteristics of “high technology, high efficiency, and high quality,” showcasing an advanced productive capacity driven by innovation.

This is not only Xindu’s “strength,” but also a “key focus” within Chengdu’s overall industrial network.

2014 marked a new era in Xindu’s industrial landscape. In August of that year, an investment agreement was signed for the rail transit industrial park project of CRRC, a leading rail transit enterprise active in the international market.

Indeed, CRRC’s largest industrial park project in Southwest China was established in Xindu. As a new enterprise in Xindu, CRRC achieved the transition from project commencement to production in just 315 days—a feat known as the “Xindu Speed.”

In recent years, with CRRC Chengdu as the lead enterprise, the cluster has attracted over 70 high-quality affiliated companies. The “nine core technologies and ten key components” are now largely in place, with a local supply rate reaching 75%, and an integrated development model encompassing “R&D, manufacturing, and maintenance” has been preliminarily established.

Growing from small to large, from weak to strong, and evolving from a chain into a network, Xindu’s rail transit industry has now formed a complete industrial chain.

In just a few years, the aviation industry in Xindu has also grown from nothing to become a significant presence. In addition to the “flagship + supporting” model, the region has also developed the capability to research and develop aviation engines.

Consistently leveraging the flagship effect of leading enterprises such as AVIC and AECC, the district has actively integrated into complete aircraft development, fully committed to building a comprehensive aviation engine industrial chain and establishing a domestic smart manufacturing supply chain for high-end equipment.

An official from the Xindu District Investment Promotion Bureau stated, “When people mention Xindu today, our aviation and rail transit industries have become widely recognized. However, in terms of investment promotion, we must break free from this mindset and strive to attract new projects and industries.”

Precisely for this reason, in the era of new-quality productive forces, Xindu is never content to rest on its laurels. While striving to optimize and strengthen the aviation and rail transit industries, it equally emphasizes technological innovation to build new core industrial competitiveness.

As hydrogen energy has emerged as a fiercely contested “new frontier,” Xindu has long been quietly advancing into the hydrogen energy sector.

In 2019, Xindu successively introduced two core enterprises: Rongxin New Energy and Shijia Tuobo. Rongxin New Energy primarily develops high-power hydrogen fuel cell power systems.

Shijia Tuobo, meanwhile, focuses on the R&D of a full range of high-speed, oil-free centrifugal air compressors powered by hydrogen fuel cells, as well as the demonstration and promotion of the world’s first carbon dioxide capture-coupled water electrolysis technology for hydrogen production.

These two companies served as “sparks.” In just five short years, Xindu’s hydrogen energy industry has spread like wildfire—gathering more than 10 “chain leaders and affiliates,” using technological innovation as an engine to create multiple hydrogen energy application scenarios. The industry’s potential is now entering an explosive growth phase, scaling from “1” to “N.”

In Xindu District, a group of leading hydrogen energy enterprises, spearheaded by Houpu Hydrogen Energy, along with a large number of supporting companies, has already taken shape. Together with companies possessing mature energy storage technologies—such as Telonmei, Xineng Energy’s oil and gas projects, Jinchuang Environment, and Chengdu Hydrogen Green—they are jointly seizing new market opportunities to create a growth hub for the hydrogen energy sector.

In this era of pursuing “new quality,” the “spark” of innovation has taken root in Xindu—it is only a matter of time before it spreads like wildfire.

Tech Rising Stars: Investing in Xindu, Everything Is Promising

High-quality development in Xindu signifies a comprehensive transformation of the manufacturing sector—shifting from factor-driven to innovation-driven growth, and from scale expansion to enhanced quality and efficiency.

As new projects rise from the ground and industrial parks bear fruit, we are focusing our efforts on industrial clusters, attracting projects that strengthen and complement existing chains—projects that are “high-quality yet in short supply”—as well as “excellent and aesthetically pleasing” premium industrial projects and “innovative and robust” future-oriented industrial projects.

As investment partners, we never engage in blind recruitment; instead, we ensure that every project “seed” can take root and flourish in Xindu.

We are truly achieving a metamorphosis from “scattered efforts” to “collaborative breakthroughs,” shifting our focus from “attracting individual enterprises” to “attracting entire industries,” and securing a foothold in the main arena.

If investment promotion is about finding the right seeds quickly and accurately, then the business environment is the “second half” of the story—how to nurture those seeds into thriving forests.

In Xindu, the continuous refinement of the business environment represents the government’s steadfast commitment to service, a genuine desire for enterprise growth, and the key to the efficient advancement of major projects.

Weiwang Youlian is the first Shenzhen-based electronics manufacturing enterprise introduced to Xindu, and two aspects stand out:

First, within just three years of establishing operations in Xindu, the company has achieved a cumulative output value of 4 billion yuan; second, the first-phase factory began production within six months, demonstrating a perfect fusion of “Shenzhen efficiency” and “Xindu speed.”

Regarding the latter, there is one precise figure: 138 days.

The project leader mentioned the “Enterprise Concierge,” which is one of the distinctive service models Xindu has developed to enhance its business environment: a “one-stop” service system for enterprises, formed by a chain consisting of one Enterprise Concierge demand aggregation hub and multiple supporting functional departments.

In any era, the business environment remains the “secret weapon” for localities to retain enterprises, and Xindu’s relentless pursuit of an optimal business environment has reached virtually every corner.

With the release of “universal gravity” as its anchor, Xindu’s investment promotion strategy begins here—but does not end here.

Why do “tech rising stars” choose to invest here? Perhaps this is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a city’s industrial innovation achievements.

What remains unseen is the even more massive, systematic, and comprehensive industrial innovation infrastructure beneath the surface—and this may well be the inexhaustible source of Xindu’s high-quality development.
