On September 1st, at the Urban Safety and Spatiotemporal Institute of Xiong'an Guochuang Center, staff were monitoring city operations through the Xiong'an Guochuang Tianxun Platform. The same day, at Xinsheng Technology Co., Ltd.'s chip personalization workshop, semiconductor production equipment was operating at full capacity.
At the Xiong'an Meteorological AI Innovation Research Institute, researchers presented the "Feng" series of AI meteorological models on the large screen of the "Mazu" early warning system on September 1st. A day earlier, on August 29th, researchers at the Intelligent Transportation Institute of Xiong'an Guochuang Center were conducting simulated autonomous driving operations. On September 2nd, scientists at the Xiong'an Center of the National Stem Cell Engineering Technology Research Center performed cell counting experiments, while researchers at the Jing-Jin-Ji National Technology Innovation Center's Xiong'an branch demonstrated operating a wheelchair through brain-control devices.
As the scientific prowess of the "national team" converges on this City of the Future, Xiong'an has established a high-standard innovation foundation and robust internal growth momentum. National-level research institutes from central government ministries and state-owned enterprises, bringing with them deep innovation expertise, top-tier research talent, and forward-thinking technological strategies, have been establishing their presence across this promising region.
The inauguration of the Jing-Jin-Ji National Technology Innovation Center Xiong'an branch, the establishment of the Xiong'an Workstation for the National Key Laboratory of Integrated Spatiotemporal Networks and Equipment Technology, and the launch of the Xiong'an Center of the National Stem Cell Engineering Technology Research Center mark a wave of national research institutions taking root in the City of the Future.
Where to Begin the Innovation Journey?
With BeiDou navigation leading the way, the reach of innovation continues to expand. At the underground parking garage of the Xiong'an Science and Technology Innovation Center, visitors can open their phones and receive precise navigation guidance directly to their parking spots. This is made possible by the Xiong'an Workstation of the National Key Laboratory, which has adapted BeiDou satellite navigation technology for indoor environments, solving complex navigation challenges in these settings. The laboratory's first batch of key technology R&D projects is already underway, spanning from deep space to underground spaces, as innovative energy in the spatiotemporal information sector rapidly converges and accelerates in Xiong'an.
AI-Powered Meteorology
Algorithms are now interpreting weather patterns with unprecedented precision. The Xiong'an Meteorological AI Innovation Research Institute, jointly established by the China Meteorological Administration, the Hebei Provincial Government, and the Xiong'an New Area Management Committee, brings together top-tier domestic research capabilities. It has developed the "Feng" series AI meteorological models, establishing a comprehensive weather prediction chain ranging from hourly nowcasting to seasonal climate forecasting. Operating from its base in Xiong'an while serving the nation with a global outlook, this meteorological AI team is accelerating the pace of China's intelligent meteorological innovation development.
Exploring the Frontiers of Life Sciences
Within the laboratories of the National Stem Cell Engineering Technology Research Center Xiong'an branch, researchers are conducting methodical safety evaluations on immune cell products. In the future, this facility is poised to become a major public technology platform for the cell therapy industry in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, providing robust support for innovation in the life and health sector.
How Will Innovation Translate to Growth?
The sparks of innovation are illuminating the city's path forward. The Hebei Provincial Key Laboratory for Multi-Modal Perception and Intelligent Diagnosis of Energy and Power Equipment, the Hebei Provincial Technology Innovation Center for Green and Efficient Hydrogen Production and Coupled Utilization, the Hebei Provincial Innovation Center for Open-Source Instruction Set Technology, and the Electric Power AI Inspection Robot Technology Innovation Center all exemplify the numerous research institutions gathering in Xiong'an to facilitate the transition of emerging technologies into market applications.
Driven by the national team of major research institutions and supported by the district's favorable policies and services, Xiong'an is accelerating the creation of an innovation ecosystem fostering efficient resource sharing, seamless talent mobility, and open application scenarios. By developing clusters of high-level new R&D institutions, the district is transforming cutting-edge scientific resources into core industrial competitiveness. As innovation grows with vigor across this dynamic region, an increasing number of groundbreaking achievements are now making their way from Xiong'an to broader industrial opportunities.
