Bao'an to fully open scenarios for new products

Bao’an District aims to become the country’s first "benchmark district with fully open application scenarios” to bridge innovative products with ideal scenarios, accelerating the development of new quality productive forces, as announced at a news conference held April 10.  

Starting this year, Bao’an plans to open over 100 innovative application scenarios annually and unveil more than 1,000 new technologies, products, and solutions each year, according to Wang Lingyun, director of the Bao’an District Development and Reform Bureau. 

Wang elaborated on the initiative: “The traditional approach of distributing subsidies can no longer meet the developmental demands of new quality productive forces. We have shifted our strategy from purely offering incentives to creating opportunities through scenario building.”

In the future, Bao’an will focus on three key fields: low-altitude applications, intelligent manufacturing, and smart city development.

Currently, Bao’an has launched the Urban Air Mobility Operation Demonstration Center, built 121 takeoff and landing points for 137 flight routes. The district has completed 258,000 cargo drone missions. Future expansions will cover smart delivery, urban governance, emergency response, and eVTOL commercial transit, positioning Bao’an as a premier demonstration hub for the low-altitude economy.

In intelligent manufacturing, Bao’an will support enterprises in accelerating digitalization and upgrading technologies and equipment needed for scenario innovation. Additionally, it aims to establish a batch of leading intelligent factories.

Regarding smart city development, the district has deployed a medical AI system in nine hospitals and 220 community health centers, serving nearly 5 million residents. Bao’an will continue enhancing capabilities in smart logistics, intelligent transportation, and digital governance while expanding AI scenario applications.

To achieve these goals, the district will provide policy, resource, and space support for companies and startups in related fields, according to the briefing.
