Inner Mongolia manufacturing industry targets high-end, intelligent, green development

North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region will reportedly promote the high-end intelligent and green development of its manufacturing industry.

The goal was tabled at the Inner Mongolia Industrial Economy High-quality Development Conference, held in the region's capital city of Hohhot on Feb 21.

In terms of premium-quality development, the region's main task was set at establishing advanced manufacturing clusters and key industrial supply chains, including green agricultural and livestock product processing, modern equipment manufacturing, new chemicals, and new materials production and biomedicines.

The aim is that by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), the region will have put in place four advanced manufacturing clusters – each with an industry scale of 100 billion yuan ($15 million) – and one advanced manufacturing cluster with an industrial scale of 10 billion yuan.

The conference proposed that the development of new energy manufacturing in Inner Mongolia will also be vigorously supported.

This year, the region is expected to provide 2.7 billion yuan in funds to guide the development of key industries, while at the same time promoting the establishment of a 10-billion-yuan new energy equipment manufacturing industry fund, in a bid to support the construction of major industrial chain projects.
