CHENGDU, China<\/span><\/span>, Nov. 28, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Chengdu<\/span>, capital of Southwest China’s<\/span> Sichuan<\/span> province, has cemented its status as a leading global innovation hub, climbing to 24th position in the 2025 Global Innovation Index, as the city delivered on national sci-tech ambitions during the 14th Five-Year Plan period(2021-25).<\/p>\n

A key national strategy has been to develop the Chengdu<\/span>–Chongqing<\/span> region into an influential sci-tech innovation hub. The Western (Chengdu<\/span>) Science City has emerged as a cornerstone of this transformation, establishing a high-level innovation ecosystem comprising one national laboratory, four national innovation centers, 10 major science infrastructures, and four Tianfu laboratories.<\/p>\n

Some 96 national innovation platforms \u2014 including the National Precision Medicine Industrial Innovation Center and National Supercomputing Center \u2014 have set up operations, alongside 27 national-level research institutions and 65 collaborative innovation projects launched with universities and research institutes.<\/p>\n

Chengdu<\/span> moved early to cultivate future industries, releasing implementation guidelines for 24 sectors including humanoid robotics and flexible display technology. The city further accelerated this push in July this year with a 100 billion yuan<\/span> ($14.1 billion<\/span>) future industry fund targeting hard-tech startups.<\/p>\n

Online and offline service systems represented by “Sci-Tech Express plus Sci-Tech Island” have streamlined the commercialization of innovations. The offline Sci-Tech Island hosts 102 service providers offering 104 types of services, while the online Sci-Tech Express platform has served sci-tech enterprises more than 200,000 times.<\/p>\n

From the Chengdu<\/span> 2021 World University Games, where over 170 tech products enhanced venues and viewing experiences, to AI-powered rehabilitation robots now serving elderly residents, innovation has become tangible across urban life. The city has also deployed an intelligent safety monitoring network covering underground pipelines, bridges and tunnels.<\/p>\n

Chengdu’s<\/span> innovation landscape now includes more than 14,500 national high-tech enterprises and 354 national-level “little giant” firms, or elite SMEs that specialize in niche sectors, according to the Chengdu Science and Technology Bureau.<\/p>\n

The city has established five national innovation and entrepreneurship demonstration bases, 76 national incubators and maker spaces, as well as another 76 provincial and municipal incubators hosting 5,702 in-progress projects. Talent initiatives have helped secure the “China’s<\/span> Best Talent-Attracting City” title for six consecutive years.<\/p>\n

Policy breakthroughs in intellectual property rights have spurred 36 local universities and research institutes to complete over 2,000 achievement ownership verifications, incubating 588 enterprises with nearly 21 billion yuan<\/span> in social investment.<\/p>\n
