China News Service, Shanghai, March 24 (Gao Zhimiao) Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places have successively introduced action plans to promote the development of future industries in recent years. The Yangtze River Delta contains "development opportunities" for future industries, and a number of future-focused companies are in "Riding on the wind" in the context of regional integration in the Yangtze River Delta.
"Yangtze River Delta linkage" is the key word for Shanghai Electric (Anhui) Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd.'s regional layout. Yang Linlin, the company's vice chairman, general manager and chief engineer, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service that the company's R&D center is in Shanghai and its production base is in Hefei, Anhui. "In 2019, we established an industrialized company and moved the company's production base to Anhui. This was also a 'going global' move under the background of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta. The local government provided practical support in terms of labor costs and early-stage industry incubation. support."

Origin Quantum Computing Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd. is the first quantum computing company in China, especially focusing on Shanghai's finance, biomedicine and other scenarios. Zhang Hui, general manager of Origin Quantum Computing Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd., said that quantum computing requires a large number of application scenarios and requires the entire ecosystem to support it.
"Currently, we have built China's first and most complete quantum chip production line in Hefei, Anhui. Next, we hope to have better soil in the Yangtze River Delta to advance the chip pilot line to a larger stage." Zhang Hui explain.
The Yangtze River Delta has the basic conditions for the development of future industries. According to Rui Yeping, deputy director of the Shanghai Zhongchuang Industrial Innovation Research Institute, the overall economic development level of the Yangtze River Delta region is relatively high, and the industrial innovation system is relatively complete. It is in the leading position in the fields of integrated circuits, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, high-end equipment, advanced materials, etc. National leading position, these are important basic conditions for the development of future industries.

Hangzhou Yunyin Supercomputing Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., which has become “connected” with Shanghai due to its participation in the 2023 Global “Future Industry Star” competition, also plans to establish a new company in Shanghai. Sun Binqiang, the company's project leader, said that Shanghai has a strong foundation for the development of high-end equipment and high-end industries, such as aerospace equipment, ships and steam turbines, nuclear power generators and complete projects, new energy vehicles, robots, tunnel shields, biomedical processes, etc. , these provide a broad application space for new algorithms.
Li Ye, secretary-general of the Shanghai Industrial Technology Innovation Promotion Association and head of the organizing committee of the global "Future Industry Star" competition, believes that future enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region have unique advantages and characteristics in industrial collaboration. "Different regions in the Yangtze River Delta can bring into play their own strengths in the development and innovation of enterprises and in ensuring the security of industrial chains and supply chains. We hope to see more and more Shanghai companies reach cooperation with companies from other provinces and cities to achieve breakthroughs."
How can regional collaboration inject long-term momentum into future industrial development? Rui Yeping suggested that resources such as scientific research institutions and scientific facilities in the Yangtze River Delta can be further integrated to promote the co-construction and sharing of scientific facilities and platforms in the region; in terms of application scenarios, we can take the lead in creating regional application scenarios in the Yangtze River Delta, such as jointly promoting support for hydrogen energy vehicles , air traffic and other development infrastructure layout.
