In 2024, the scale of the city's electronics and information technology sector reached 1.2 trillion yuan (US$167 billion). Shanghai's automotive cluster reported a scale of 1.1 trillion yuan last year, with nearly 280,000 local plates issued for NEVs during the period.
The city has also been engaged in the development of other key industrial chains, including integrated circuits, biopharmaceuticals, artificial intelligence, fashion consumer goods, advanced materials, and new energy and green low-carbon solutions.
The conference offered 15.42 million square meters of space, supported by 50.9 billion yuan in industrial ecosystem funding, for investment projects. Through policy incentives, resource matching, and favorable services, the city is providing global innovators and enterprises with first-mover scenarios and project opportunities.
