Introduction

Urumqi High-Tech Industrial Development Zone (Urumqi HTIDZ) was established and approved by the State Council in August 1992 as the only state-level high-tech development zone in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The zone consists of Diamond City CBD (which engages mainly in supplying supported services to enterprises), Torch Creative Pioneering Center and North District Industrial Park.

Urumqi HTIDZ, located in north of the city, is less than 10 km away from Diwopu International Airport and railway stations (both for passenger use and cargo use).

Investment Climate

In 2007, Urumqi HTIDZ realized a value-added industrial output of RMB 2.0 billion, accounting for 8.1% of the city's total. In 2010, it is expected to generate value-added industrial output and total foreign trade value of RMB 2.3 billion and US$2.8 billion respectively.

The zone has established electronic information, biopharmaceuticals, new materials, new energy, petrochemicals, unique resources processing and machinery manufacturing as its pillar industries.

Ganquanbao Industrial Park is Urumqi HTIDZ’s key project. Since the park’s establishment in 2007, it has attracted four programs with a total investment of RMB 29.8 billion – namely, Tebian Electric Apparatus Stock’s <600089> polysilicon production base with an annual output of 12,000 tons, Xinjiang Joinworld Co. Ltd’s electronic materials industrialization program, Yankuang Group’s alcohol-ammonia generation programs and the Carbon Fiber Industrial Park program belonging to Xinjiang Chuangyue Investment Co. Ltd – a shareholder of Xinjiang Zhundong Petroleum Tech<002207>. Upon completion of these programs, a new material and new energy industrial chain with an annual output of over RMB 10 billion will be put in place.
