The "Yunlong-3" large fixed-wing drone rolled off the production line, marking the debut of Shaoxing-made medium-to-large drones. DJI's Yangtze River Delta supporting industrial project settled in, adding another heavyweight boost to Shaoxing's low-altitude economy cluster... This year, Shaoxing has achieved remarkable progress in building a hub for the aviation economy, transforming the ancient water town from "living by the water" to "taking flight with the wind." Behind this shift lies a profound transformation in technological innovation and industrial modernization, quietly unfolding in integrated circuit R&D workshops, AI labs, and new energy supply chains.
At the intersection of capital allocation and financial supply, new productive forces are taking root. CCB Shaoxing Branch leverages its expertise in infrastructure and supply chain financing to support the entire innovation chain—from basic research and technological breakthroughs to commercialization and industrial upgrades. Tailored financial solutions, including credit, bonds, and payment services, empower a diverse range of innovators, fostering a thriving ecosystem where technology and finance flourish together.
**1. Infrastructure as the Catalyst: Pioneering Strategic Frontiers** By the Yao River in Shaoxing, an L-shaped annex with three helipads stands completed—the first low-altitude economic complex and large-scale takeoff/landing field in East China. Nearby, unmanned drone systems operate seamlessly in Yuecheng District’s Low-Altitude Economy Industrial Park, where cutting-edge projects like the Yunlong-3 drone are accelerating. As a national leader in general aviation, Shaoxing is cultivating high-level innovation platforms to join the top tier of China’s low-altitude economy.
Key to this ambition is the Jianshui Sci-Tech City, Zhejiang’s first low-altitude economy demo zone, housing four provincial platforms like the Airspace Integration Management Research Center. Early this year, CCB Shaoxing Branch deployed expert teams to design a customized ¥400 million credit package for the park’s upgrade, alongside comprehensive corporate services for tenants.
Local manufacturers like **Wolong Electric Drive Group**, a top producer of drone and e-aircraft components, benefited from CCB’s ¥550 million financing suite (low-rate loans, bills, and supply chain credit) to meet surging order demands. Similarly, **SMEC (Shaoxing Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.)**, a wafer foundry serving EVs and renewables, secured ¥180 million to scale production of its power modules, strengthening the chip supply chain.
CCB’s foresight extends to IP-backed financing models. Sodium-ion battery leader **Zhejiang NaInnovation** received ¥650 million for R&D, while thermal management giant **Sanhua Group** gained tailored credit lines to solidify its global leadership.
**2. Smart Manufacturing: Finance Fuels Industrial Upgrades** Aligned with Zhejiang’s "415X" advanced manufacturing clusters, CCB Shaoxing Branch embeds financial services upstream in supply chains. **Zhejiang Shengda Intelligent Equipment**, a robotics standout, leveraged ¥10 million in working capital loans to upgrade precision machinery and expand production. Its downstream partner **Zhejiang Fengli**, a crushing-equipment innovator, accessed ¥10 million via the "Zhejiang Tech-Wing Loan" to build smart factories for lithium battery materials.
A dynamic evaluation system—incorporating innovation metrics like T6 ratings and IP portfolios—enables tailored credit. For **Zhejiang Molu New Materials**, breaking foreign monopolies in lubricants, CCB extended ¥100 million to scale high-performance output. Meanwhile, **Zhejiang Bayi Space Advanced Materials** secured ¥350 million to launch a 100-ton automated photoresin line, a breakthrough for domestic chips.
**3. Nurturing Innovation: From Startups to Champions** CCB’s tiered support spans startup to maturity. **Shengzhou New Start Welding Tech** used ¥60 million in "Tech-Wing Loans" to expand compressor parts production for EVs and HVAC systems. SMEs like **Shengzhou Yusheng Polymer Materials** (¥5 million "Shanxin Loan") and **Zhejiang Xintuo Intelligent Tech** overcame funding crunches during ownership transitions.
Talent-driven ventures also thrive. Electrode foil veteran **Song Hongzhou**, founder of **Zhejiang Hongliang New Materials**, tapped ¥30 million to scale capacitor production. For copper tube innovator **Zhejiang Naile Copper**, CCB pioneered a cross-border mBridge CBDC payment, slashing transaction costs.
Through strategic financing, Shaoxing’s millennia-old canals now ripple with the winds of change, propelling a new era of tech-powered growth.
