The region embraces a "service-oriented manufacturing" model, as evidenced by the newly unveiled Center of Biological Technology and Innovation and Feiliu Tech's "cloud factory" platform. This platform employs digital twin technology to optimize production efficiency.

The Zhangjiang Integrated Innovation Park stands at the forefront of global automation advancements in the realm of pharmaceutical research and development. This dynamic hub of innovation has attracted significant attention and investment from industry leaders. XtalPi, with its upcoming $100 million investment project, and Fourier Intelligence, with its ambitious plan to expand its manufacturing supply chain utilizing state-of-the-art rehabilitation robotics technologies across the Yangtze River Delta region, are prime examples of the park's ability to attract top players in the field.

Zhangjiang's digital transformation initiatives extend far beyond production lines, encompassing digital workshops, intelligent factories, industrial internet platforms, and the blending of medical and manufacturing sectors. This rapid progress underscores Zhangjiang's unwavering commitment to fostering digital transformation and integration in smart manufacturing.
