Six industry clusters worth CNY100 billion each will be formed by 2025, authorities in the Pudong New Area said. Pudong plans to develop the clusters based on its six core industries – integrated circuits, new medicine, aviation and aerospace, future cars, smart manufacturing and big data, according to a blueprint released by the area’s Science, Technology and Economy Committee. Pudong hopes to create a world-class integrated circuit design industrial park based on the current two industrial bases in Zhangjiang and Lingang. It also hopes to make scientific breakthroughs in the design and manufacture of top-end chips. By 2025, sales are expected to reach CNY400 billion, while the number of integrated circuit companies listed on the science and technology innovation board is expected to double.

Pudong hopes to lead the development of tumor vaccines, cell therapy, diagnostic reagents and high-end implantable medical devices. By 2025, biomedicine is expected to be worth over CNY200 billion. The area plans to become an innovation heartland of biomedicine with global influence. Pudong also plays a vital role in the country’s research and development of large aircraft. It hopes to become a source of innovation and a pioneer in the high-end aviation industry. The C919, China’s first domestically developed narrow-body passenger aircraft, will go into mass production, and the CR929 passenger jet, a Sino-Russian project, will start trial flights. By 2025, the industry is expected to reach CNY100 billion.

The launch of Tesla’s Gigafactory has provided a catalyst for Pudong to develop “future cars.” Currently, Pudong is working to improve the whole industrial chain and strengthen the integration with intelligent networks, hoping to achieve a scale of CNY450 billion in the automobile industry. Pudong is taking advantage of its shipbuilding industries to promote mass production of cruise ships, and by 2025 it hopes to double robot manufacturing. Pudong has the country’s first artificial intelligence application zone, and it will explore more applications.

By 2025, the revenue from software and information services is expected to reach CNY550 billion. By 2025, it will have 10 large science facilities, eight in Zhangjiang and two in Lingang, looking for breakthroughs in photonic science, quantum science, brain science, structural biology and astrophysics, the Shanghai Daily reports.
