With fontal technological breakthrough, Bright Intelligence Technologies (Zhongshan) Co Ltd not only fills the gap in domestic high-speed and high-power laser chip area, but also aims at breaking international monopoly and taking the leading place among foreign peers.

MinFound Medical Systems Co Ltd, another company based in Torch Zone park, is ambitious to dominate the global medical imaging diagnostic equipment manufacturing area with self-developed products.

With tight resources and lands, how can Torch Zone park, part of the municipal industrial platform, attract “gazelle enterprises” like Bright Intelligence and MinFound?

According to Zhao Hong, Deputy Secretary of Party Working Committee of Torch Development Zone, Torch Zone on one hand builds innovation environment, on the other hand expands developmental space by renovating old factories. In 2017, Torch Zone spent 1.855bn yuan on research and development. There have been 326 high-tech companies in Torch Zone. Innovation atmosphere has become an important weapon for attracting quality enterprises.

Reportedly, Torch Zone park of municipal industrial platform aims to develop three major industrial clusters. The “advanced equipment manufacturing cluster” will focus on supporting independent innovative leading companies to improve innovation ability and promoting development of machine tools manufacturing. The “health care national innovation cluster” will optimize and strengthen industrial chains for such areas as bio-pharmaceutical, medical device, food and cosmetics, healthcare services, etc. The “optical imaging and opto-electronic information cluster” will build high-end product-related industries such as laser television to drive industry extension.
