The rise of China "Optics Valley" in Wuhan

China in Wuhan, one known as "Optics Valley optoelectronic industry base" - Wuhan East Lake high tech Development Zone, gathered here more than 2 thousand high-tech enterprises, the total revenue last year for the first time exceeded 100 billion yuan, the first ten months of this year reached 106 billion 100 million yuan.

"Fiber optic cable scale Optics Valley" production ranks second in the world, the domestic market share of 50%, the international market share of 12%; optoelectronic devices in the domestic market share of 60%, the international market share of 6%; optical transmission equipment in the domestic market share of 10%; laser products in China to maintain market share in 50% about to enter the international market.

Huazhong University of Science and Technology professor Huang Dexiu said, "Optics Valley" rise to narrow China with developed countries in the field of Optoelectronics gap has made great contributions, and lead Chinese optoelectronic technology, industry to first-class international level.

"Optics Valley" enterprise fire group put forward the three IP network technology standards, as the International Electrotechnical Association for the first time approved by the Chinese technical standards. Optical fiber and cable company to create more than 30 new technologies with independent intellectual property rights, the overall strength of the world's second. Up up since 2001, the former State Planning Commission approved the construction of the East Lake high tech Zone National photoelectron industrial base, high-tech zones have been built in various national incubator Park, University Science and technology park a total area of 500 thousand square meters of students, more than 900 enterprises in incubation, hatching accumulated 2000 scientific and technological achievements.

High tech Zone has invested about one billion yuan to support more than and 180 high-tech industrialization projects; at the same time, vigorously introducing venture capital, issuing corporate bonds, listed a variety of ways, to help fund the "bottleneck" problem solving process of entrepreneurship development in high tech enterprises. Currently, Optics Valley has 20 companies listed at home and abroad, raising funds of up to 9 billion 500 million yuan.

Based on the deep research on the accumulation of a large number of Optics Valley enterprises and endless innovation based accelerated development, East Lake high tech Zone Innovation System is increasingly complete, the bearing capacity of high-tech industry has attracted increasing, SMIC, Foxconn and other large companies to large investment projects.

Last June, a total investment of the project amounted to 10 billion 700 million yuan in SMIC 12 inch wafer China project in Optics Valley started construction; in December, the East Lake high tech Zone and Foxconn Technology Group signed an initial investment of $1 billion agreement, has completed an investment of about 1000000000 yuan, the first production line will be put into operation next year, output value of over 10 billion yuan.

The report pointed out that improving the ability of independent innovation, building an innovative country, to enterprises as the mainstay, guided by the market, the establishment of a combination of technological innovation system, guide and support the concentration of factors of innovation in enterprises, promote the rapid transformation of scientific and technological achievements into practical productive forces.

Wuhan East Lake high tech Zone Committee Secretary Liu Chuantie said, has the potential to accelerate the development of the "Optics Valley" Chinese needs in accordance with the requirements of the report, "making full use of international resources, and further create an environment to promote innovation, increase investment in innovation, and strive to become an important base for innovation of global optoelectronic industry field.
