Since the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), Dongli has focused on promoting the green and high-quality development of the region.
The Dongli Economic and Technological Development Zone of Tianjin, as the main hub of economic development in the region, was established in 1992. After 30 years of development, it has always adhered to the ideas of innovation, structure optimization, and quality and efficiency in order to accelerate the cultivation of innovation subjects and the gathering of strategic emerging industries.
It has bred a large number of enterprises, such as China Automotive Technology & Research Center Co. Ltd, Golden Bridge Welding Materials and Boho Seth Biological Technology Co., Ltd. to develop into national high-tech enterprises. Through industrial adjustment, optimization and upgrading, it has initially formed four leading industries of new generation automobile technology, new materials, medical equipment and inspection. It ranks No.108 among the entire national economic development zones, and the comprehensive economic strength of Dongli has significantly improved.
In 2021, the local government launched the plan of "secondary upgrading" of Dongli Economic and Technological Development Zone. The space, function and environment of the zone have been improved after the implementation of the plan: 98 high-quality technological projects and about 300 projects of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta have been settled here; while forming financial industry clusters, the plan has also accelerated external infrastructure construction such as the Haihe landscape belt.
Furthermore, the plan has also focused on five core aspects of the development of the zone: innovation and entrepreneurship, industrial development, business culture and innovation, financial investment and ecology.
In 2021, the total industrial output value reached 24.91 billion yuan (about $3.74 billion), with a year-on-year increase of 14.48%. The investment in fixed assets reached 1.73 billion yuan, with an increase of 20% compared with the one of the previous year. The GDP of the zone reached 15.7 billion yuan, accounting for 22.3% of the total amount of Dongli district. Tianjin Dongli Economic and Technological Development Zone has gradually become the new engine to promote regional economic development.
Over these years, Dongli Economic and Technological Development Zone has taken green and high-quality development as its goal, and its development has reached a new level. Next, Dongli will continue to strive to build a scientific and technological innovation valley and a new urban area in an all-around way.
