From the computing power hub to the two-way effort of talent, the policy toolbox is fully open. Can Chengdu-Chongqing emerge with a new manufacturing paradigm?

The Chengdu Municipal Committee and the Municipal Government issued an opinion focusing on making Chengdu a nationally advanced manufacturing hub. The opinion proposes optimizing the allocation of innovation factors, maintaining the scale of manufacturing investment, strengthening financial and financial-sector support, and steadily increasing the amount of fiscal funds. It will strengthen industrial land protection, with industrial land accounting for no less than 23% and the land-transfer area accounting for no less than 30%, revitalize inefficient industrial land, promote industrial “going upward” (industrial upgrading through stacking), and improve land-use efficiency.

It will implement a special program for industrial talent, attract high-level talent, and improve the “two-way pursuit” mechanism between universities and colleges, research institutes, local governments, and enterprises, to cultivate high-caliber, multi-disciplinary compound talent. It will accelerate the construction of national hub nodes for the Chengdu–Chongqing integrated computing power network and the Tianfu data center cluster, enhancing the capability for intelligent computing power and high-quality data supply.
