Did you know something big is happening in Urumqi, Xinjiang?

With premier launches, exhibitions, and debuts, and over 1,000 domestic enterprises and institutions participating... the 8th China-Eurasia Expo is ushering in a new chapter.

In Urumqi, this hotspot for investment, companies are vying to set up shop in industrial parks, and the clustering effect of industries is becoming increasingly evident.

Whether they are new investors making their first foray or existing investors expanding their operations, the establishment of high-quality enterprises here is the result of successful industrial investment promotion.

In just two months, five major projects—including dental prosthesis manufacturing and new energy—have successively settled in the Urumqi Construction Investment Emerging Industries Park.

Among them, a dental prosthesis manufacturer, starting from the “oral care+” concept, has focused on a single “tooth,” chosen a “small but exquisite” niche, and forged a path of “precision and strength.”

The establishment of this enterprise has not only carved out a new industrial niche for the park—creating something out of nothing—but has also radiated influence across niche segments of Xinjiang’s dental medical device industry chain.

Crucially, the formation of regional industries often requires continuous exploration, cultivation, and the development of investment appeal.

Dental Prosthesis Manufacturer: Orders Head Overseas

Starting with “teeth” can set in motion the “gears” of local industrial development.

Once upon a time, a single tooth embodied profound themes such as industry, cities, regions, capital, and health, highlighting the pivotal role of “denture manufacturing.”

The dental medical device industry is often referred to as a “sunrise industry that never declines.” Denture manufacturing is a specific segment within this sector.

With growing market demand, increased policy support, and continuous technological advancements, domestic enterprises—which hold advantages in localization, after-sales service, and pricing—have accelerated the process of domestic substitution.

From 2016 to 2023, various regions have successively proposed their own dental hubs: Ziyang, Sichuan, proposed the “China Dental Valley”; Duchang, Jiangxi, proposed the “China Dental Capital”; Wuhua, Guangdong, proposed the “Hometown of Chinese Dental Artisans”; and Jiamusi, Heilongjiang, proposed the “China Dental City”…

These regions did not start with an existing industrial foundation; rather, they began “painting on a blank canvas.” This is both a disadvantage and an advantage, as it allows for thorough research into the development of the domestic and international dental industries, thereby enabling the creation of high-standard industrial plans.

In Xinjiang, local manufacturing enterprises have secured a foothold in Central Asia and broader international markets. In particular, medical devices are a key focus of Urumqi’s biopharmaceutical industry development.

I previously observed a dental manufacturer’s production workshop where designers were creating tooth models based on data uploaded from dental clinic scans. The entire process—modeling, 3D printing, and glazing—was completed seamlessly, with orders fulfilled within 72 hours, some of which are also exported to international markets.

Urumqi possesses significant resource advantages in the biopharmaceutical sector, having established specialized segments for dental prosthesis production and traditional Chinese and ethnic medicines. Each field features highly competitive enterprises or products, with “small but exquisite” companies pooling their strengths to generate greater momentum.

Building on this foundation, dental prosthesis manufacturers have been specifically invited to establish operations in the Urumqi Construction Investment Emerging Industry Park. The focus is on strengthening, supplementing, and stabilizing the industrial chain to enhance the value chain and accelerate the expansion of the biopharmaceutical industry.

This dental prosthesis manufacturer, with its advanced production equipment, end-to-end manufacturing technology, and high operational efficiency, ensures excellence in every production stage. It holds a significant market share in Xinjiang, providing customers with personalized dental solutions and has already secured numerous market orders.

During the park’s development process, we have focused on the front, middle, and back ends of the industry, clarified the park’s planning, and maintained close observation and analysis of the logic behind enterprises’ investment and site selection decisions. This is one of the most influential factors in investment promotion efforts, facilitating more scientific investment attraction and improving the regional investment environment.

It is foreseeable that the wave of growth in China’s dental industry will reach a peak as domestically produced medical devices accelerate their replacement of imports and demand for oral health care surges.

Behind this industry growth lies a drive to increase industrial value-added, move toward the mid-to-high end of the value chain, and extend the industrial chain. Leading enterprises are proactively “building” and “extending” the chain, while small and medium-sized enterprises are actively “filling gaps” and “strengthening” the chain.

New Energy Industry: Core Competitiveness

Without industrial support, a city—no matter how beautiful—remains a “ghost town”; without a city as its foundation, an industry—no matter how advanced—can only “spin its wheels.”

This year, Urumqi is seizing the opportunity presented by the development of the “Eight Major Industrial Clusters” to accelerate the growth of the new energy sector and vigorously develop the new materials industry, thereby achieving high-end and cluster-based industrial development.

By upgrading from traditional industries to high-tech, precision, and cutting-edge sectors, we are achieving intelligent and green production to create new growth poles for industrial development. In the field of new materials, we are focusing on the development of advanced structural materials such as carbon-based, silicon-based, aluminum-based, and bio-based materials, striving to attract projects with superior technical standards, strong spillover effects, and precise industrial alignment.

A generation of materials determines a generation of technology, and a generation of technology leads a generation of industries. We have recommended a green and environmentally friendly new energy enterprise, which has successfully settled in the Urumqi Construction Investment Emerging Industries Park.

With its deep commitment to environmental protection and cutting-edge new energy technology, this enterprise has introduced a new type of fuel that is safe, stable, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly. Through a unique production process, advanced technology converts liquid wax and waste animal and vegetable oils into a new type of fuel specifically designed for kitchens and boilers.

For the industrial park, this is not only a successful case study in promoting new energy applications but also a powerful initiative to achieve green transformation and respond to the national call for energy conservation and emissions reduction.

In this new era, the establishment of this new energy enterprise has undoubtedly injected new momentum into the development of the region’s new energy industry. The market potential and social value of its products lie primarily in their profound impact on the green transformation of the regional economy.

As a regional development and operations service provider, we “integrate” enterprises into the park, “position” the park within the industrial chain, extend the chain to form a network, and consolidate the network into a cluster. We strive to boost momentum and vitality for project implementation and enterprise growth, and look forward to attracting more upstream and downstream enterprises in the new energy industry chain to invest and establish businesses here, thereby strengthening and perfecting the new energy industrial chain.

Industrial development is never achieved overnight. Only by abandoning short-term thinking can we foster the growth of industries from small to large and from weak to strong, transforming them into the primary drivers of local development.

The Jiantou Emerging Industries Park serves as a new hub for Urumqi’s manufacturing sector. Located in the northern part of the Lianghe Road and Weisan Road industrial cluster within the Lianghe District of the Urumqi Economic and Technological Development Zone (Touyunhe District), the park is currently actively recruiting investors.

The park is prioritizing investment in high-end equipment manufacturing, automotive parts, new eco-friendly building materials, new energy and new materials, and deep-processing of food products. It offers not only factory space but also a comprehensive industrial development platform.

The park features high-standard, quality factory buildings with multi-story designs and flexible layouts, allowing for production spaces tailored to each enterprise’s needs. Additionally, modular solutions are available to meet the personalized and diverse requirements of various businesses.

From convenient cafeterias to comfortable staff apartments, the park is dedicated to creating a one-stop living and working environment for enterprises. These comprehensive amenities, combined with the park’s prime location, cost-effective rental rates, and future growth potential, have attracted a steady stream of investors.

As a key node of the Belt and Road Initiative and a core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, Xinjiang’s industrial economy is experiencing upward growth. The region prioritizes market-oriented investment promotion, continuously drives industrial transformation and upgrading, and is building a bridgehead for opening up to the West.Notably, leveraging its border ports and prime geographical location—bordering eight countries with a borderline stretching thousands of kilometers—this unique strategic position serves as a vital corridor connecting China with Central Asia, West Asia, and even Europe, and stands as a key “calling card” for Xinjiang’s investment promotion efforts.As the “engine” of industrial economic development, the Xinjiang Construction Investment Emerging Industries Park has set its sights on upgrading and advancing, accelerating its development pace to ensure that the park’s “flourishing growth” reflects the “springtime vitality” of Xinjiang’s economic development.
