A group of enterprises have the deepest feelings about the opportunities and dividends brought by opening to the outside world. On May 23rd, four days after the conclusion of the China-Central Asia Summit, cherries weighing two tons arrived in Xi ‘an from Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, by Boeing b757-200. Upon arrival, inspection, inspection and release, the goods were delivered in just one hour.

New kinetic energy: innovation drives effectiveness.
In Chuangzhiyun Valley, Fengdong New Town, Xixian New Area, Xi ‘an, a batch of precision parts are being deeply processed by Shaanxi Jinxintian Titanium Material Technology Co., Ltd. This company is mainly engaged in ultra-precision machining and polishing technology, which is one of the "stuck neck" technologies that need to be broken through urgently in China.
Mi Tianjian, the person in charge of the enterprise, is a young scholar of Xi ‘an University of Technology and has been engaged in related research for many years. "We have been planning to further transform innovation into productivity." Mi Tianjian said that Qin Chuangyuan accelerated this transformation process.
Qin Chuangyuan is an innovation-driven platform established in Shaanxi Province in 2021, which is dedicated to activating rich scientific and educational resources and breaking the "blocking point" of the transformation of science and technology chain and industrial chain. As the first national-level new district with the theme of innovating urban development mode in China, Xixian New Area, Xi ‘an was established as the general window of Qin Chuangyuan.
Mi Tianjian said that after they settled in Qin Chuangyuan, they successively obtained the start-up capital, enjoyed three-year factory rent reduction and exemption, and had intimate services from the "technical end" to the "market end" of technology brokers. At present, the company has built more than ten production lines. Last year, the turnover reached 45 million yuan, and the total output value is expected to reach 500 million yuan in three years.

Xi ‘an Lixin Huigan Technology Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Dutercq New Materials Co., Ltd. and a number of small and medium-sized scientific and technological enterprises have been growing in Qinchuangyuan.
Moreover, a number of industry leaders, such as Longji Green Energy, Western Superconductor, Sany Heavy Industry and Shangtang Technology, have also been laid out here, which has accelerated the integration of the industrial chain and innovation chain.
Longji Green Energy is a leading photovoltaic enterprise in the world. At the beginning of this year, this enterprise once again made additional investment in Xixian New Area to build a photovoltaic cell production base with the largest single cell and the highest production capacity in the world.
Yang Renhua, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Xixian New Area, said that with the help of Qin Chuangyuan’s platform and advantages, from January to April this year, 80 projects were signed and settled in the new district, with a total investment of over 100 billion yuan.
