The Hohhot-Baotou industrial alliance, integral to the region's development strategy, is forging a dynamic path in cooperation in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region.

With the focus on enhancing industrial competitiveness and resilience, the alliance between Baotou city and Hohhot – capital of the autonomous region – is regarded as being a strategic powerhouse driving innovation and growth.

To strengthen the supply chain, the alliance is leveraging core industries.

Hohhot's dairy industry, renowned nationwide, forms a robust foundation, while Baotou's strengths in steel, rare earths and new materials bolsters technological advancements.

Collaboratively, they aim to integrate the dairy resources, upgrade processing techniques and foster innovation, consolidating their leading positions.

Complementing the supply chain involves addressing existing weaknesses. By fostering cross-industry collaborations and introducing advanced technologies, the alliance is said to fill gaps, enhances efficiency and achieves independent technological control, ensuring a robust industry supply chain.

Consolidating the chain involves internal collaboration. Long-term partnerships between enterprises in both cities – coupled with joint procurements and shared capacities – is expected to strengthen operational resilience and market adaptability, crucial for sustained growth.

Extending the supply chain entails exploring new growth areas. Integrating traditional and emerging industries – such as smart manufacturing and eco-tourism – creates diverse economic opportunities and promotes sustainable development.

Throughout these efforts, talent development and technological innovation remain pivotal. It's understood that establishing a talent training base and fostering partnerships with educational institutions will ensure a skilled workforce and continuous technological advancement, driving the alliance's success in the long run.
