Changde National Economic and Technological Development Zone

The Changde Economic and Technological Development Zone is located in the southeast corner of Changde City, formerly known as the Deshan Economic and Technological Development Zone. Deshan boasts a long history and profound culture, and has been the industrial base of Changde City since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Deshan Economic and Technological Development Zone was established in 1992, with a relatively complete industrial system. It was the location of such state-owned large-scale enterprises as the Changde Textile Machinery Factory, Changde Cotton Textile Factory, and Changde Qiyi Machinery Factory. Approved by the State Council in June, 2010, it was upgraded to a national-level development zone and renamed as the Changde Economic and Technological Development Zone.

In 2024, the development zone thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of President Xi Jinping's important speeches and instructions when inspecting Hunan Province. It earnestly carried out the decisions and arrangements made by the CPC Central Committee, as well as the work requirements of the CPC provincial committee and provincial government, and CPC municipal committee and municipal government. The zone fully implemented the three-year action plan to realize the blueprint outlined in the "Three Hubs" strategy and advance the "Second Entrepreneurship" campaign, achieving new results. In the assessment and evaluation of the comprehensive development level of national economic and technological development zones of the Ministry of Commerce, the Changde Economic and Technological Development Zone ranked 90th nationwide and 24th in central China.
