High-precision and cutting-edge into a new business card, Fangshan Butterfly has become a combination of work and residence

More than 10 years ago, Fangshan abandoned "black, white and gray" and aimed at high-tech industries such as new energy, new materials, intelligent equipment, and advanced manufacturing. In recent years, Fangshan District has grasped the opportunities of Beijing's reduction, green and innovative development, conscientiously implemented the functional positioning of "three districts and one node", changed the mode, adjusted the structure, grasped the project, gathered the elements, optimized the environment, and accelerated the development of high-tech industries. In January 2023, Fangshan District proposed in the "Government Work Report" that it should rely on high-end manufacturing bases, new material bases and other functional areas to build an "R&D-incubation-industrialization" ecosystem from the university town to the park, focusing on the four major industrial directions of new energy, new materials, medicine and health, and intelligent manufacturing, and make every effort to build four 50 billion-level industrial clusters during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, and build an important carrying area for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and high-tech industries in the capital. Nowadays, the high-tech industry has become the new business card of Fangshan District, the city has been renewed, Fangshan has become a new city, is attracting more and more outstanding enterprises and talents to settle in Fangshan. The arrival of these enterprises and talents will promote great changes in the urban appearance of Fangshan.

Job-housing integration

There are more job opportunities in livable places

● The cool scene of "black technology" is staged here every day

● The "community of scientists" is full of food, drink, and medicine

Doudian Town, which has set many wheat yield records per mu and is known as the "agricultural red flag", has become a "breakthrough" in Fangshan's industrial transformation.

In July 2011, the high-end manufacturing base approved by the Beijing Municipal Government settled in the Doudian Group in Fangshan District, and in January 2013, the base was included in the Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone. As an important part of the transformation belt of scientific and technological innovation achievements in the south of the capital, the base has a planned area of 15.38 square kilometers, a key development area of 7.03 square kilometers, and a total construction scale of 5.334 million square meters.

As part of Zhongguancun Fangshan Park, Beijing's high-end manufacturing base is an important carrier and source of Fangshan's high-tech industries. When people in the industry talk about the base, they will always mention four words: "front shop and back factory". "We call the laboratory 'front shop' and the factory workshop 'back factory', which are only a few hundred meters apart from each other, and technicians shuttle between the research institute and the standard factory building to quickly solve the problem of production technology docking. Our goal is to retain those high-tech enterprises that are willing to take root in Beijing. The relevant person in charge of Fangshan District said.

It is understood that before the establishment of the base, Beijing and Fangshan District conducted a thorough investigation. The survey found that many universities and research institutes in Beijing need to carry the transformation of knowledge achievements, but they cannot provide the space they need in urban areas.

The establishment of Beijing's high-end manufacturing base is to use Fangshan's industrial space to solve the pain points of enterprises and quickly gather high-tech projects. The Zhongguancun Institute of Frontier Technology for Emerging Industries (hereinafter referred to as the "Institute"), located in the core area of the base, has played an important role in the industrial transformation of cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements.

According to the "Opinions of the Beijing Municipal People's Government on Accelerating Scientific and Technological Innovation and Building a High-tech Economic Structure Land Use Policy", Fangshan District has successively built a total of about 230,000 square meters of R&D office and living supporting space and 134,300 square meters of standardized factory buildings in the first and second phases of the research institute in Beijing's high-end manufacturing base as a high-quality space carrier for undertaking the implementation of "high-precision" projects. It has been learned that in the past, most of the industrialized enterprises in Beijing were outside Beijing, and technical personnel had to go on frequent business trips. Nowadays, the state-owned standardized factory building across the road from the research institute can be divided into the production and manufacturing space required by the enterprise, and the technical personnel can communicate and solve technical problems in a timely manner by walking and shuttling. Countless "whimsical" designs are brought to life here, and even mass-produced. Cool scenes of "black technology" such as self-driving cars, robot threading needles, and unmanned helicopter firefighting training are staged here almost every day.

It is worth mentioning that it is a key park in Fangshan District to build an intelligent manufacturing and networked vehicle industry cluster, and has the first 5G full coverage of autonomous vehicle test roads in China. Beijing Shihe Technology Co., Ltd. is a technology-based company specializing in the research and development of intelligent special robot products, and moved to Beijing high-end manufacturing base in 2020. Here, they have 1,600 square meters of office space and 4,000 square meters of factory buildings, just one road away. This convenience has greatly improved the communication efficiency between R&D and production, and also significantly improved the speed of product industrialization. "Our products are closely related to the site, and the R&D involves pilot test, small batch, and mass production, which requires space. In Fangshan, R&D and production can be connected. Xu Xin, marketing director of Shihe Technology, said for example, that the company's recently released exterior wall cleaning products are basically developed in the "front store", and the test wall is built in the "back factory", and the assembly and testing are completed. "In response to the concerns and needs faced by enterprises in terms of commuting distance, office space, living facilities, etc., we have built the institute into a 'community of scientists'. Ye Qiang, deputy director of the Zhongguancun Fangshan Park Management Committee, said that the 6.5-meter-high office space of the institute is flexibly matched, 40,000 square meters of serviced apartments solve the accommodation of employees, catering, swimming and fitness, cafes, laundry rooms, digital libraries, health and medical centers are complete, there are 14 free shuttle buses directly to the city, and Zhongguancun Development Group provides professional services for the whole life cycle of enterprises.

Ye Qiang said that the "front store and back factory" model allows enterprises to travel lightly and operate with light assets. The "front store" provides high-quality life service facilities, and when the team is stable, the enterprise will not easily flow outside Beijing; the "back factory" provides superior pilot test and industrialization conditions, which is conducive to the cultivation of the "high-precision" industrial chain and the formation of industrial ecology.

It is reported that in order to further improve the industrial and supporting space functions of the Zhongguancun Emerging Industry Frontier Technology Research Institute, the third phase of the research institute has officially started construction recently. The project covers an area of about 40 acres, with a planned construction area of about 48,000 square meters, a planned investment of about 610 million yuan, and is expected to be completed in December 2024. After the completion of the project, the overall space area of the institute will reach 280,000 square meters, and the industrialization space of the institute will be more abundant, and the supporting functions such as R&D office, exhibition roadshow, accommodation and catering, and public services will be comprehensively improved.

High-end manufacturing

Leading enterprises gather in the "intelligent city"

● 15 leading enterprises and 12 hidden champion enterprises

● The total industrial output value exceeded 100 billion yuan, and the tax paid was nearly 8 billion yuan

After years of development, Fangshan Beijing high-end manufacturing base has a golden signboard of "intelligent manufacturing city". Up to now, the base has settled in more than 100 enterprises such as Changan Automobile, Xinyuan Intelligent Storage, Jingxi Heavy Industries, BOE, Hangjing Innovation, UISEE Technology, Haibo Sichuang, etc., including 15 leading enterprises and 12 hidden champion enterprises, with a total industrial output value of more than 100 billion yuan and a cumulative tax payment of nearly 8 billion yuan.

In the extreme weather disaster in early August last year, Hangjing Innovation, a benchmark enterprise for the localization of large-load UAVs, has made a "great achievement" with its own trump card products. On the afternoon of August 4 last year, Hangjing Innovation received an urgent request for help from the Beijing Municipal Emergency Management Bureau, saying that there were more than 80 employees in an industrial park who were in urgent need of communication equipment, food, medical treatment and other materials. After receiving the order, the company organized FWH-1500 heavy-duty unmanned helicopter equipment, transport vehicles and crews, logistics support and other personnel to quickly arrive at the location of the trapped people.

At 0:15 on the same day, the FWH-1500 unmanned helicopter took off from the temporary take-off and landing point Mingquan Cottage, flew to the destination according to the scheduled route, arrived at the mission point at 0:35, and successfully airdropped 60 kg of materials, and at 0:50, the aircraft returned fully autonomous and safely, with a total flight range of 40 kilometers and a total flight time of 35 minutes, successfully completing the delivery mission. The successful completion of this delivery mission highlights the excellent fully autonomous night flight capability of the large-load unmanned helicopter, verifies the feasibility and rapidity of the whole process of UAV emergency rescue, and lays the foundation and accumulates experience for the wide application of UAV emergency rescue.

There are also many enterprises in Fangshan Beijing High-end Manufacturing Base like Hangjing Innovation that have made a name for themselves in the subdivision track. For example, UISEE, one of the top three companies in the field of autonomous driving, ranked first in the field of autonomous driving systems, a key innovation task of the new generation of artificial intelligence of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, and in 2021, the energy storage system integrator, Hipostron, ranked first in the domestic market in terms of energy storage system integrator shipments and third in the global energy storage market. Weilan New Energy has completed multiple rounds of financing, with investors including NIO Capital, Xiaomi Group, Huawei, China Automobile Zhilian, Geely Holdings, etc. In the latest round of financing, the company was valued at 15.7 billion yuan.

At present, the base has formed a new energy industry represented by Haibo Strong, Xinyuan Intelligent Storage, Weilan New Energy solid-state lithium battery, etc., a new material industry represented by Beijing Fangshuo Composite Materials and Zhongke Pure Technology, an intelligent manufacturing and networked automobile industry represented by Changan Automobile, MindMinds Cloud Intelligent Robot, Hangjing Innovation UAV, UISEE Autonomous Vehicle, etc., and a smart medical-engineering cross-industry represented by Beihang Medical and Engineering Interdisciplinary Innovation Research Institute, BOE Life Science and Technology Industrial Base, and Xinxin Medical.

Smart medical workers

Drawing a "model" of the hospital of the future

●Explored the road of medical and engineering integration and innovation

●Build a global medical, education, research, production, and life science and technology innovation ecosystem

"The characteristics of the hospital of the future are the interconnection of everything in the hospital scenario, the service model that relies on the system disease, and the operation system that relies on medical big data. Dr. Wei Zhang, Senior Vice President of BOE and Chief Growth Officer of BOE Health, once described his ideal hospital of the future. Zhang Wei said that after ten years of hard work, BOE Health Care has explored a road of innovation in the integration of medicine and engineering. "Medicine" is to build a smart health care service ecosystem, and "work" is to create health technology products and technologies, the former promotes the latter, and the latter empowers the former.

As the support of BOE's smart health management ecosystem, BOE Digital Hospital adheres to "leading technology, digital driven, and model innovation" to support the extension of high-quality health services to communities and families. Beijing's BOE Digital Hospital chose to be located in Fangshan.

It is understood that Beijing BOE Life Science and Technology Industrial Base has become a key project for Fangshan to build a smart medical service industry cluster, which is jointly built by the Fangshan District Government and BOE Group. The project is located in the 06 block of Beijing's high-end manufacturing base, covering an area of about 346 acres, and plans to build a health business headquarters R&D and operation center, a life science and technology innovation center, an international medical transformation center, an excellent medical science and education center and a digital hospital, with a total planned investment of more than 13.6 billion yuan.

This year, the two sessions in Fangshan District proposed that after the completion of the BOE Life Science and Technology Industrial Base project, a world-class medical education, research and production life science and technology innovation ecology featuring artificial intelligence and gene technology will be built. The BOE digital hospital in the project has been started, the first phase of the smart medical core competence center has been put into operation, the second phase has completed the internal and external decoration, and a number of BOE internal incubation and partner enterprises have been introduced at the same time.

The COFCO Health Science and Technology Park, located in the COFCO Eco-Valley in Liulihe Town, Fangshan District, Beijing, is also an important project of the Fangshan Smart Medical Service Industry Cluster, with more than 100 registered enterprises. This year, the park plans to add more than 8 new registered entities.

Material innovation

The Winter Olympics "heated vest" is produced here

●Build Beijing Graphene Industry Innovation Center and other characteristic industrial parks

●Build a "Material Innovation Valley" in Zhongguancun with global influence

In recent years, Fangshan has built a "Material Innovation Valley" - Beijing New Material Industrial Base. The base is located in the Yanfang Group in Fangshan District, with a key development area of 16.96 square kilometers and a total construction scale of 4,400,300 square meters, of which Yanhua is 2,081,300 square meters. The base focuses on cultivating carbon nanomaterials represented by graphene, new energy materials represented by hydrogen energy, and electronic information materials represented by new display materials, developing new material science and technology service industry, building a national new material industry demonstration park, and creating a "material innovation valley" in Zhongguancun with global influence.

Graphene is one of the most eye-catching materials in the world today, also known as "black gold" and "king of new materials", known as the "magic material" that changed the 21st century, and has many applications in aviation, aerospace, electronics, biomedicine and other fields.

As early as the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the mainland regarded graphene and other new material industries as important strategic emerging industries. In this context, Beijing is also actively deploying, and Fangshan's performance is particularly outstanding.

It is understood that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Graphene Conference has been held in Fangshan for 5 consecutive sessions. As an important industrial event in the field of new graphene materials in China, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Graphene Conference has become an international and professional exchange platform in the field of graphene industry.

In recent years, the new material industrial base has built a characteristic industrial park of graphene industry seed business incubation accelerator. The graphene innovation project delivered by the city's major universities and scientific research institutes will carry out technical research and transformation of achievements here, and the park will set up public services and scientific research laboratory testing platforms to meet the needs of enterprises for scientific research and production.

At the 5th Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Graphene Conference held in June this year, a number of settled enterprises in Fangshan Petrochemical New Material Industrial Base have released new research results and specific products. For example: graphene modified grease, graphene smart running shoes, graphene carbon fiber energy-saving wires...... At the conference site, the booth of Beijing Innovation Aishangjia Company attracted many visitors, and everyone tried on a "magic vest". This seemingly ordinary vest makes people very cool when you wear it, and even when you go outside, you can still clearly feel the 4 cooling modules on your back and abdomen working. Chen Lijun, chairman of Aishangjia Company, said that the "cooling vest" is to add graphene to the cloth, conductor and liquid cooling system to highlight the characteristics of high heat conversion efficiency and achieve rapid cooling. According to the test, this vest can last 2 to 4 hours on a single charge, and the cooling module can also be stably maintained at about 26°C in an environment of 35°C.

It is understood that Innovative Aishangjia focuses on graphene low-power thermal management technology and is the only supplier of graphene technology designated by the Beijing Winter Olympics. The company is not only able to produce "cooling vests", but also has long launched "heating vests". A 200-gram ultra-thin vest can be turned into a cotton suit in an instant with just a few blows, and it can be heated by plugging in a power bank. This "graphene temperature-controlled air vest" used high-tech to protect everyone from the cold outdoors during the Winter Olympics, attracting countless attention. "The application of graphene technology has entered a stage of rapid development. The park has formed an upstream and downstream industrial chain. Chen Lijun is glad that he has moved the enterprise from the city to Fangshan, "It is adjacent to Yanshan Petrochemical, a 10-million-ton refining and chemical enterprise, which can provide rich graphene raw materials; the park has a number of laboratories and technical testing platforms, and is equipped with a team of experts to guide to help innovators get through the technology nodes as soon as possible; the park has also set up a professional angel fund, intellectual property fund and industrial guidance fund to help enterprises overcome financing bottlenecks...... Preferential policies such as priority support for government projects.

It is understood that in addition to the construction of the park and industrial policy, Fangshan also invests real money for potential enterprises in the field of new materials. For example, Fangshan District and AECC jointly strive for the Beijing Science and Technology Innovation Fund to invest in the establishment of a graphene venture capital fund with a total scale of 220 million yuan "Navigation Fund" to promote the local transformation of Beijing's graphene science and technology innovation achievements.

According to the plan of the Fangshan District Government, in order to build an industrial cluster of advanced basic and key strategic materials. This year, it will support the transformation and development of Yanshan Petrochemical, accelerate the progress of the new energy supramolecular materials project of Hefei Institute of Tsinghua University, and increase the proportion of advanced polymer materials production capacity. Accelerate the construction of standard workshops in the new material base, complete the second phase of the 800 million space-time project, sign the new composite material project of Boxiang composite materials for aerospace, and speed up the construction project of high-performance photoelectric display material production line of Jilian Optoelectronics, and the R&D and industrialization project of Pufan protection high-performance protective materials.
