1.     Shanghai Carbon Fiber Composites Innovation Institute

The Shanghai Carbon Fiber Composites Innovation Institute is situated within Carbon Valley Green Bay Industrial Park in Jinshan District, Shanghai. This collaborative endeavor brings together prominent entities such as Shanghai Petrochemical, Shanghai Electric Group, Donghua University, Jinshan Second Industrial Zone, Sino Polymer, Cedar Composites, and Shanghai Xbook. Initiated and established by these seven units, this innovative institution operates under a mixed-ownership model, driven by a collective vision to create a preeminent R&D and transformation functional platform for carbon fiber composites in Shanghai.

Leveraging the concentrated expertise in carbon fiber composite research, manufacturing, and application industries in Shanghai and the broader Yangtze River Delta region, the institute is strategically centered around the R&D and transformation functions of carbon fiber and its composite materials. Aligned with global development trends, the institute merges insights into the carbon fiber composite industry in Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta region. Its current emphasis on the materials industry chain is directed towards conquering common, core, and key technologies crucially required by multiple industries.

The institute’s strategic approach involves capitalizing on regional advantages, integrating local resources, and catalyzing a formidable force for innovation. Through collaborative initiatives in innovation and entrepreneurship, the institute seeks to foster co-construction and sharing, emerging as a pivotal platform for academic exchanges within the discipline and industry of carbon fiber composites in Shanghai. Additionally, it aspires to serve as a high-end talent hub, a wellspring of innovation and development, thereby establishing an influential carbon fiber composites innovation ecosystem and industrial cluster. With a commitment to propelling the domestic application development of carbon fiber composites, the institute aims to garner recognition both domestically and internationally, contributing significantly to the construction of Shanghai’s Science and Technology Innovation Center with global influence.

2.     East China UAV Base

Established on August 30, 2018, the East China UAV Base is spearheaded by the Jinshan District Government and the Bay Area High-tech Zone, receiving essential backing from the East China Regional Administration of Civil Aviation of China, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission, and the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission. Operated by Xinjinshan Development Company, the UAV base incorporates the Shanghai Jinshan UAV Flight Service Center.

Distinguished as the sole UAV industrial park in Shanghai and one of the pioneering “civilian unmanned aviation test zones” nationwide, it holds a pivotal role as the core zone within the “East China UAV Airport” situated in the Hongqiao International Hub for Opening-up and is strategically oriented towards showcasing demonstration applications. Emphasizing scenario applications and prioritizing industrial applications, it is committed to expediting the establishment of a comprehensive drone industry ecosystem. This ecosystem includes research and development, manufacturing, flight services, airworthiness testing, exhibition and trading, innovation incubation, and contributions to science, education, culture, and tourism. The overarching goal is to create a dynamic agglomeration area for the drone industry, a dedicated application scenario test area, and a regulatory standard release area.
