The Liuyang Economic and Technological Development Zone (LETDZ) was founded in 1997 and approved by the State Council as a national economic and technological development zone in 2012. In 2020, the Liuyang High-Tech Industrial Development Zone was merged into LETDZ.
After more than 20 years of development, LETDZ has become a 100-billion-yuan industrial zone with a development area of 35 square kilometers. An industrial pattern featuring three pillar industries - display function devices and electronic materials, biomedicine, and intelligent equipment manufacturing, and one characteristic industry – snack food, has taken shape. Meanwhile, seizing the opportunity of the national "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" strategy, its new energy industry has also gradually taken shape. LETDZ has gathered more than 300 enterprises above designated size, including Lens Technology, Changsha HKC Optoelectronics Technology, Jiudian Pharmaceutical, Er-Kang Pharmaceutical, Warrant Pharmaceutical, China Hinye, Yonker Environmental Protection, Fn-Link Technology Limited, Yuhuan CNC Machine Tool, CHNTEK, Horn Audio, Yan Jin Shop, Yashilin, and Jinyang Carbon New Materials. Among them, there are 8 A-share listed enterprises, 5 enterprises listed on China's National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ), also known as the "new third board", and 33 reserve listed enterprises. Up to now, LETDZ has 11 national and 85 provincial scientific research platforms, and 165 national, provincial, and municipal enterprise R&D platforms. It has built two supporting service platforms for biomedicine and electronic information industry, Prima and Yunpu Testing, to provide strong support for industrial development.
It has been approved as National New-type Industrial Demonstration Base, National Industrial Transformation and Upgrading Demonstration Park, and National Foreign Trade Transformation and Upgrading Base. It has been rated as a key county-level industrial transformation and upgrading demonstration park during the 14th "Five-Year Plan" period, one of the first batch of national processing trade industrial parks, Hunan's core undertaker for the cultivation of biomedical characteristic industrial clusters, and a provincial industrial park with high-quality development. It has been recognized as an excellent industrial park in the provincial "Five-good" industrial parks and zones evaluation and ranked 57th in the comprehensive evaluation of China's national economic and technological development zones. It has become an important growth pole for Changsha's economic development.
The development zone, aiming at "breaking through 200-billion-yuan and advancing to the top 50 national development zones", focuses on realizing the beautiful blueprint of "Three Hubs and Four New Missions" Strategy. It plays a leading role in implementing the Strategy of Strengthening the Provincial Capital, makes every effort to implement projects, develop industries, build new towns, and set up benchmarks, and accelerates the building of a modern industrial zone with core competitiveness. It strives to build the Jinyang New Town into an iconic area of the sub-center of the provincial capital city, becoming the main force and making new achievements in writing Liuyang's own chapter in advancing Chinese modernization.
