BYD, as the head enterprise of the domestic new energy automobile industry and the main enterprise of the smart car industry chain in Jinan, will drive the upstream and downstream high-quality enterprises to gather and become an important engine for the sustainable growth of the regional economy.

Cooperation with famous universities and institutions has produced fruitful results

On September 18, 2019, the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin rose to a major national strategy, and Jinan Start-up Area took advantage of the opportunity to quickly sign a contract with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Three branches, including Jinan Advanced Power Research Institute, Jinan Zhongke Ubiquitous Intelligent Institute of Computing Technology, and Jinan Laboratory of Applied Nuclear Science, have settled down successively. Recently, three years later, they have created numerous achievements in the laboratories of famous institutions and colleges.

At the awarding ceremony of the Science and Technology Award of the Chinese Society for Stereology held recently, the small animal energy microscopic CT developed by the Jinan Laboratory of Applied Nuclear Science won the first scientific and technological progress prize. The institute has also successfully incubated the first technology achievement transformation company – Ruiying Testing Technology (Jinan) Co., Ltd. Sharp Image Detection Technology has a complete series of industrial CT equipment from low energy to high energy, from micro to large complete equipment, and many performance indicators such as spatial resolution have reached the level of the most advanced similar equipment abroad, filling several domestic gaps. At present, products such as the IGBT online automatic detection system, vehicle-mounted imaging radiation emergency detection system, and “channel-type gamma imager” developed by Jinan China Academy of Nuclear Technology have been put into use, and the X-ray precision detection platform and radiopharmaceutical conversion platform have entered the commissioning stage.

Jinan Zhongke Ubiquitous Intelligent Institute of Computing Technology focuses on the creation of five core application scenarios in the future: “medicine, food, housing, transportation, and information”. Jinan Advanced Power Research Institute is the earliest and fastest of the three institutes and has also achieved fruitful results. At present, the 20 MW gas turbine project that has been put into use has filled the gap in China and is of great strategic significance. The first (set) high-efficiency new gas turbine has been industrialized.

Build a new energy industry framework and accelerate green, low-carbon, and high-quality development

The Star-up Area attaches great importance to green, low-carbon, and high-quality development, and the layout of the new energy industry is indispensable. Among the new energy sources, hydrogen energy is undoubtedly the most attractive.

At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, a total of more than 1000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles were put into operation, of which 150 were equipped with the Qingteng power system of the State Power Investment Group Hydrogen Energy Technology Development Co., Ltd.

Previously, the State Power Investment Group Hydrogen Energy Technology Development Co., Ltd. registered and established a wholly-owned subsidiary – Jinan Green Dynamic Hydrogen Technology Co., Ltd. in the Star-up Area to comprehensively promote the construction of the hydrogen energy industry base in the Yellow River basin.

It is understood that the project, with a total investment of 10 billion yuan, is one of the five hydrogen energy industry bases and one of the four fuel cell industry bases laid out by the State Power Investment Corporation. It will build a hydrogen energy industry R&D innovation center, a high-level R&D laboratory, fuel cell equipment, and core parts manufacturing base. At present, the hydrogen energy innovation center, pilot production line, and industrial park projects have started. It is estimated that the production capacity of fixed energy supply fuel cells and air-cooled fuel cells will reach 10000 units in 2025.

High-end, sophisticated enterprises gathered together, and “customized plants” became popular

Jinan International Standard Land Investment Promotion Industrial Park, which has been open for one year, has welcomed the entry of projects in many advanced manufacturing fields, such as aerospace equipment, energy equipment, intelligent manufacturing, industrial robots, new energy, and new materials, and has achieved the transformation of achievements.

Among them, the Shandong Yuhang Material Production and Research Center project will rely on the technology of the Jinan Special Structure Research Institute of China Aerospace Industry Group to solve the problem of “choking” of new aerospace materials; The project of the National Robot Innovation Center (Research Institute) will lead to several industrialization projects of core parts and product modules in the robot field.

Recently, the customized workshops for the settled enterprises in the park have been completed in succession. In the future, it will continue to release the technology and industrial agglomeration effect, attract the upstream and downstream enterprises of the industrial chain and inject strong momentum into the transformation of new and old kinetic energy.

It is worth mentioning that in February of this year, Jinan International Standard Land Investment Promotion Industrial Park was approved to lead the construction of the national “new urban construction” industry and application demonstration base. The park has not only introduced new building materials enterprises such as Grederman, but also cooperated with Baidu and other enterprises to create a high-level automatic driving full-scene intelligent traffic experience demonstration area.

In addition, the park is accelerating the construction of a zero-carbon smart innovation operation center, a zero-carbon future life community, and building a green industrial ecosystem and a low-carbon smart production and living demonstration area with international competitiveness by using breathing curtain wall, walking power generation road, unmanned construction site and other technologies.

Empowered by the new generation of information technology, urban power takes on a new look

The new generation of information technology is the foundation and power source of a new city.

Shandong Yellow River Digital Economic Industrial Park is one of the key parks in the layout of the Jinan Start-up Area. At present, the first opening area of the park has been completed, and more than 400 enterprises have entered the park. Led by the park, there are three-dimensional application scenarios for smart manufacturing, green construction, smart agriculture, big data, and other industries in the Start-up Area.
