Jingjiang city – a county-level city under the administration of Taizhou city, in East China's Jiangsu province – has strategically positioned itself in the aerospace sector, aiming to foster industrial clusters and create the best possible and most attractive business environment.
The city has provided substantial support through funding, policies and infrastructure – leveraging its traditional manufacturing strengths and transport advantages.
In particular, it's encouraged technological innovation within local businesses and attracted high-quality aerospace manufacturing projects.
With significant investments in civil aviation and commercial aerospace, the city is rapidly forming an aerospace manufacturing hub.
The streamlined business environment has also played a crucial role in attracting major projects. A recent commercial space program with a total investment of about 11 billion yuan ($1.53 billion) took only 20 days from the initial contact to the negotiations and finalization stages.
Overall, Jingjiang provides a project-based working approach and full life cycle support for major projects. This includes a timeout default system that automatically approves applications if they exceed a specified time limit.
The city is now capitalizing on its special strengths to embrace opportunities in the large aircraft, commercial spaceflight and related industries – emphasizing industrial specialization, scale and high-end development.
