The Xiangjiang New Area has made technological innovation an inherent part of its development, continuously unleashing new growth drivers.
Since 2023, the National Supercomputing Center in Changsha has been approved to build a state-level open innovation platform for a new generation of AI public computing power, with internationally advanced and nationally leading computing capabilities. A 200-petaflop AI innovation center has been established.
Besides, the Xiangjiang New Area is orderly promoting its scientific innovation programs, including four major science labs and ten landmark projects.
The Xiangjiang New Area, occupying only 0.5 percent of Hunan province's land area, generates eight percent of the province's GDP. The new area's total economic output grew from 160 billion yuan ($22.22 billion) in 2015 to 450 billion yuan in 2023.
