Ninghe district: Tianjin Future Sci-Tech City

Tianjin Future Sci-Tech City of Ninghe district integrates into the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cooperated development by promoting the development demonstration zone of Tianjin with the other two regions. Last year, 44 entities of the Gyeonggi entity were introduced, with a total investment of up to 7.6 billion yuan, according to Wang Honghai, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of the Ninghe District Party Committee: "Ninghe district with the Qilihai wetlands is hailed as the kidney of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and is young in developing industry. Therefore, we are very cautious with our choice of introducing industries."

The district plans its industry layout around high-end industries such as intelligent manufacturing, auto parts, new energy and new materials, biomedicine, energy conservation and environmental protection.

To introduce 100 projects of 50 million yuan, the district will hold large-scale investment promotion conferences throughout the year and implement targeted investment attractions.

According to him, revitalization of the real economy is guaranteed by preventing financial risks and unswervingly promoting financial reform and innovation for high-quality financial development.

High-level financial talents are core to pushing forward high-quality development of finance.   Special funds should be set up to attract talents, gather companies, fund financial education, and develop financial technology R&D, and other areas, he added.

"The development of artificial intelligence is inseparable from the real economy, and it will add fuel to the development of the real economy," said Sun Taili, member of CPPCC National Committee and CEO of Tianjin Qingda Investment Group.
