THE third phase of Shanghai Anting International Medical Industry Park is expected to go into operation this year.

The park along Bao’an highway in Jiading District recently completed and obtained the property certificate. Upon activation, the park’s three phases will enter a new operational stage, offering a more specialized and scaled industrial service plat-form for Jiading’s medical innovation resources and reinforcing the sub-urban district’s competitive edge in industrial clustering in the biomedi-cal field.

With a total investment of 200 million yuan (US$27.78 million), the third phase spans 13.5 mu (about 0.9 hectares), with a floor area of 25,000 square meters. Currently open for tenancy, it will focus on introducing headquarters projects in specific bio-pharmaceutical fields.

The operational two phases have al-ready attracted high-quality projects like Juncell therapeutics and Fosun Aitrox.

The three phases combined provide nearly 90,000 square meters of pro-duction and office space.

Magnet for enterprises

To date, the park is home to four national-level “Little Giant” firms, 24 municipal-level specialized and inno-vative small and medium enterprises, and 34 high-tech companies.

Last July, Anting’s “Jiading District Precision Medicine Industry Cluster” was selected as one of Shanghai’s spe-cial clusters for small and medium enterprises, becoming Jiading’s fourth such cluster at the municipal level.

The comprehensive infrastructure is key to attracting enterprises, re-taining talent, and helping businesses reduce costs and improve efficiency. Anting now has abundant commer-cial, transportation, educational and medical resources, as well as talent apartments.

Recently, a new centralized rental housing project near the park al-located over 2,000 units for rent. the area also plans to build a park canteen, small conference rooms, a multi-functional conference hall, underground parking lot and conve-nience stores and cafes.

While focusing on tenancy and infrastructure, the park is looking to enhance support for the research and development, testing, commer-cialization and market promotion of the region’s key industries.
