In Jiaojiang, a science and technology entrepreneurial park came into being. Feiyue Science and Technology Innovation Park, located on both sides of Airport Road, Xiachen Street, as a key construction project of provincial transformation and upgrading, will be built into Zhejiang's first comprehensive intelligent manufacturing demonstration park in the direction of 4.0 as the goal, relying on the advantages of weather, location, and people. , attracting small, medium and micro enterprises to settle in, and give priority to the sewing equipment industry, and provide preferential support for funds and rents. As a new benchmark for entrepreneurship and innovation, the business park is called the "banyan tree plan" by Xinhua News Agency.
Xiachen Baoshi Sewing Technology Industrial Park, which integrates manufacturing, R&D offices, corporate headquarters, product display, productive services, and supporting facilities, in addition to one-stop procurement business, connects Zhejiang China-Africa International Economic and Trade Port for cross-border e-commerce A trading platform, an upstream and downstream industrial chain is formed in the park, sharing resources such as market, information, talents, capital, etc., realizing efficient industrial production, and becoming a "dream factory" for small and medium-sized enterprises.
