ningxia has abundant production capacity for such metals as iron and steel, aluminum, magnesium, and manganese. it leads in industries such as instruments and apparatus, intelligent casting, cnc machine tools, electrical engineering, and mining machinery products. it is also at the forefront of technology in such areas as aluminum alloy beams for high-speed train units, traction transformers for high-speed trains, special valves, intelligent fully mechanized mining equipment, and 3d casting and printing technology, enjoying a worldwide reputation. ningxia also possesses superior manufacturing conditions for mining machinery, electrical engineering, machine tools, instruments and apparatus, and modern agricultural machinery and equipment.
digital information
the yinchuan ibi incubation center
ningxia was the country's first demonstration zone of "internet education" and "internet healthcare". it is a national hub for the new internet exchange center and a key node in the national integrated computing power network. with the conviction that the digital economy is the key to future competitiveness, it is vigorously constructing the western high-standard digital valley, implementing the digital industrialization project, industrial digitalization project, and digital society project, and promoting the comprehensive upgrade of "internet ningxia."
ningxia's computing power resources and environmental index, as well as the proportion of internet fiber optic access ports, both rank first nationwide. its 5g user penetration rate is the second highest in the country. it has completed the construction of the country's first "ten-thousand cards" level smart computing base, an artificial intelligence chip adaptation base, and the first high-end intelligent server production line adaptation base in the northwest. it is currently constructing three major bases: the national "east data, west computing" demonstration base, an information technology application and innovation base, and a national-level data supply chain incubation base. additionally, it has established seven large data centers, including amazon, meili cloud, and china mobile, with nine more under construction, boasting a total installed capacity of 700,000 units. the three major operators have built a 4×100g cloud information high-speed highway, making it an important platform for creating a hub for digital information industries, such as big data storage and semiconductor materials.
modern chemical industry
