China (Anhui) Pilot Free Trade Zone Hefei Area High-tech Zone Layout Map
It is understood that the high-tech block in Hefei area of Anhui Pilot Free Trade Zone covers a total of 31.43 square kilometers, which mainly strengthens the functional layout of "one body and two wings". "One" is the innovation-driven core, and the main layout is west of Innovation Avenue. Covers three areas: the first is the original innovation core area with the Quantum Innovation Research Institute; the second is the Brain-like National Engineering Laboratory; the third is the Hefei Ion Medicine Center and other major platforms (the layout includes some innovation platforms, high-tech enterprises and China Voice New economic industrial clusters such as valleys). The "Two Wings" are industrial clusters, mainly located north of Changjiang West Road and south of Xiyou Road (the north wing is a high-end automobile and parts industry cluster; the south wing is a cluster of smart home appliances and supporting industries).
The relevant person in charge of the high-tech zone introduced that the Hefei High-tech Zone has "four major advantages" after building a free trade experimental zone. The first is the advantage of technological innovation; the second is the advantage of agglomeration of high-end industries; the third is the advantage of talent pool; the fourth is the advantage of financial resources. At present, the high-tech zone is accelerating the study and formulation of a work plan for the construction of a pilot free trade zone. The preliminary consideration is to create three characteristic areas' and focus on achieving six greater breakthroughs.'

The "three characteristic areas" include: creating a world-class business environment; creating a source of original innovation; creating a high-quality industrial system. The "Six Greater Breakthroughs" are: 1. Make greater breakthroughs in the integration of high-quality development in the Yangtze River Delta; 2. Make greater breakthroughs in serving the construction of the "Belt and Road";3. To achieve greater breakthroughs in accelerating financial innovation and pilot projects; 4. To achieve greater breakthroughs in promoting the high-quality development of service trade; 5. To achieve greater breakthroughs in stimulating the vitality of innovative and entrepreneurial talents; 6. To achieve greater breakthroughs in innovation management systems and mechanisms.
Hefei High-tech Zone is the first batch of national high-tech zones approved by the State Council and the largest high-tech industrialization base in Anhui Province. It is the core area of Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center, the national independent innovation demonstration zone and the first batch of national innovation demonstration bases. April 2018, Hefei High-tech Zone was officially included in the construction sequence of world-class high-tech parks by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and became the national team representing the country in global technological competition. It has been ranked in the top ten in the national high-tech zone for 6 consecutive years. International and domestic influence festival Climbing. The construction of a pilot free trade zone in Hefei High-tech Zone has a promising future!
