As a core node of the Yangtze River Delta Integration and the only national-level high-tech zone in Jiaxing, Jiaxing National High-tech Zone boasts complete industrial clusters, robust innovation ecosystem, multi-dimensional opening-up channels and top-tier business services, emerging as a strategic destination of choice for overseas enterprises to invest in China and expand their presence across the Asia-Pacific market.
Jiaxing National High-tech Zone is strategically located at the geometric center of the Yangtze River Delta. The zone boasts an integrated four-dimensional transport system comprising aviation, waterway, road, and rail. It offers one-hour direct access to core cities such as Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Ningbo, and is just a 30-minute high-speed rail ride from Shanghai Hongqiao and Hangzhou East stations. Jiaxing Nanhu Airport is positioned as a global air cargo hub, which, combined with the sea-river intermodal advantages of Jiaxing Port, creates a ‘globally connected, regionally smooth’ logistics network — significantly reducing supply chain costs and market response times for overseas enterprises. Costs for industrial land, electricity, and labor are only 30% to 80% of those in Shanghai, giving the zone a unique competitive advantage of ‘Shanghai-close location with cost-hollowed advantages.’
At the industrial level, Jiaxing High-tech Zone focuses on building a “1+2+X” industrial system. It fully develops industries including photovoltaic new energy, intelligent manufacturing, optoelectronic information and high-end information technology (AI), and fosters an industrial ecosystem featuring leading enterprises driving development and coordinated growth across the whole industrial chain. The photovoltaic industry has gathered global leaders such as LONGi, Flat Glass Group, and Canadian Solar, forming a 10-minute industrial collaboration circle spanning glass, cells, modules, and equipment. In 2024, the output value reached 14.67 billion yuan, accounting for nearly half of Zhejiang Province’s total, making it a global hub for photovoltaic innovation and manufacturing. In the optoelectronic information sector, multiple foreign-funded projects exceeding 100 million dollars have been established, with projects worth over 100 million dollars accounting for 87.5% of the Airport Economic Information Industrial Park. Industrial clusters for core components such as intelligent terminals and display modules are rapidly taking shape. In the high-end automotive parts sector, the zone is home to international giants like Faurecia, forming a complete R&D-manufacturing-support chain deeply integrated into the global automotive supply chain.
In terms of innovation-driven empowerment, the high-tech zone has established 12 new-type R&D institutions, 6 national-level incubators, 36 national-level ‘Specialized, Sophisticated, Differential, and Innovative’ Little Giant companies, 2 manufacturing champions, and 15 listed companies, forming an innovation matrix of ‘industry leaders + research institutes + supporting enterprises + incubation’. Platforms such as the Zhejiang University Jiaxing Research Institute and the Provincial Key Laboratory of Clean Energy have been intensively established, while international cooperation bases for photovoltaic technology and global R&D centers are clustered in the zone, providing full-chain support for overseas enterprises in technological breakthroughs, outcome commercialization, and talent cultivation. Policies such as additional deduction for R&D expenses and corporate income tax reduction for high-tech enterprises are also in effect, helping foreign-invested enterprises upgrade and innovate.
In terms of openness and services, the high-tech zone is deeply integrated into the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. It has established international industrial cooperation parks and overseas innovation centers, promoting a model of ‘R&D conducted globally, transformation realized in the high-tech zone’. In 2025, the actual utilization of foreign capital in manufacturing reached 44.1%, with 18 projects each exceeding 1 billion RMB or 100 million USD, reflecting a continued shift of foreign capital structure toward high-end manufacturing and technological innovation. The service brand ‘High-Tech Zone, High Satisfaction’ provides ‘tailored policies for each enterprise and full-cycle agency services’, shortening the process from contract signing to production to as little as four months. It offers overseas enterprises one-stop support in policy alignment, talent settlement, children’s education, and financial assistance.
Opening its arms to the world, Jiaxing National High-tech Zone — with an open and inclusive attitude, a fully synergistic ecosystem, and efficient, convenient services — sincerely invites overseas enterprises to share in the dividends of the Yangtze River Delta integration and the development of new quality productive forces, to jointly build a global industrial innovation hub, and to create a new future of win-win cooperation.
