Starting from August 20 this year, the “Railway e-Card” service was simultaneously launched at all stations along the Shanghai-Nanjing Yangtze River High-Speed Railway and the Ning’an Railway. Passengers traveling from Nanjing to multiple cities in the Nanjing Metropolitan Area do not need to purchase tickets in advance. They only need to show the QR code at all stages of entering, boarding, and exiting the station and can go wherever they want.
“The company’s R&D department is in Nanjing, and we have to go to Nanjing three or four times a week. Scanning the QR code to enter and exit the high-speed rail station is just like taking the subway. It’s so convenient.” said Wu Feng from Ma’anshan.
Convenient transportation
I am a commuter in the Twin Cities
The first thing you can feel
It also promotes interaction between cities
Becoming more frequent
In recent years, Nanjing and its surrounding cities have continuously improved their level of urban development and promoted regional integration and development. With R&D in Nanjing and production in the metropolitan area, more and more metropolitan area companies are planting their “R&D seeds” in Nanjing, bringing more “fruits” to the local area.

R&D enclave
Gather high-level talents and innovative resourcesSome people say that the distance between Nanjing and Ma’anshan is that Nanjing Zifeng Tower is so close that you can see it from Ma’anshan. Such a close distance makes many Ma’anshan companies see it and remember it in their hearts, and Liangma Technology is one of them.
Anhui Liangma Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Liangma Technology”), which focuses on the research and development of product technologies in the field of geographic information, was established in Ma’anshan in 2013. In order to continue to innovate, under the guidance of Ma’anshan’s science and technology department, the company’s founder Du Shaolin registered Nanjing Liangma Geographic Information Technology Co., Ltd. in Nanjing the following year, focusing on the research and development of geographic information system software technology and implementing it in Ma’anshan.
The R&D work in Nanjing has enabled Liangma Technology to make continuous breakthroughs in key technologies and cutting-edge technologies. In just a few years, it has become a national high-tech enterprise and a specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprise in Anhui Province. It has more than 100 invention patents and software copyrights, and has comprehensive service capabilities such as drone R&D and production, flight data collection, and comparison and analysis applications.
Recently, in Yanlord Landmark Plaza in Jiangxinzhou, Nanjing, the public reception area of the first floor office area of more than 1,600 square meters is under intense decoration and construction. This is an “enclave” established by Hexian County, Ma’anshan in Nanjing. Hexian Economic Development Zone takes advantage of the cooperation opportunities of its proximity to Nanjing and uses the “enclave” as a “R&D institution” and “enclave incubator” to build a platform with the goals of talent introduction and cultivation, scientific and technological R&D, scientific and technological achievement transformation, and scientific and technological enterprise incubation. At present, three companies, including Anhui Sanzhu Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., Anhui Hechen New Materials Co., Ltd., and Ma’anshan Fangxin Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., have settled in to carry out R&D work, and it is expected to be officially put into use before the end of October.
There are many companies in the Nanjing metropolitan area that have set up “R&D enclaves” in Nanjing.The Chuzhou Delan Minghai New Energy Storage Project is the fruit of cross-provincial cooperation between Nanjing and Chuzhou. “The project will build a production base in Nanqiao, Chuzhou, and a scientific research center in Pukou, Nanjing, combining the spatial advantages of Nanqiao District and the scientific and educational advantages of Pukou District,” said Liu Zhiliang, general manager of Chuzhou Delan Minghai New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. The project was built last year and is expected to be put into production this year. After full production, it can achieve an annual output value of more than 10 billion yuan.
Jiangsu Heyuan Electric Power Technology Co., Ltd., located in Jurong Economic Development Zone, mainly produces intelligent power terminal products. “The company’s production workshop is in Jurong, and the core parts of the products are all developed in Nanjing.” The person in charge of the company’s general department said that Nanjing’s high-quality talent resources attracted them. Heyuan Electric Power came to Nanjing Qixia Zidong International Creative Park 6 years ago to establish a new company. The Nanjing company currently has more than 200 employees, focusing on software development and product iteration.

Industrial enclave
Let new projects take off
In Nanjing’s Jiangsu Software Park, there is an “industrial enclave” of Ma’anshan – the Ma’anshan Software Park Nanjing Marco Meng Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base. Jiangsu Software Park and Ma’anshan Software Park have always maintained a friendly cooperative relationship. In order to promote the construction of a two-way “enclave” cooperation demonstration base between Nanjing and Ma’anshan, the two parties established the Ma’anshan Software Park Nanjing Marco Meng Entrepreneurship and Innovation Base and the Jiangsu Software Park Ma’anshan Science and Technology Service Center, and achieved resource complementarity, coordinated development, and mutual benefit through the “two-way enclave” model.
“The office is in Nanjing, the recruitment is in Nanjing, the development is in Ma’anshan, and the contribution is in Ma’anshan.” Relevant personnel from Huashan District of Ma’anshan City introduced that this is an “industrial enclave” and an extension of the corporate services of Ma’anshan Software Park. It provides venues and policy support for Ma’anshan companies to set up “R&D centers” in Nanjing. It can also serve as a springboard for industrial transfer, build a talent exchange service platform, and promote talent exchange and sharing between the two places.
Ma’anshan Software Park, located at the junction of Nanjing and Ma’anshan, has a geographical advantage and its revenue has exceeded 10 billion yuan. With government guidance, enterprise participation, and joint park construction, Huashan District of Ma’anshan City has set up a permanent liaison agency and overseas talent workstation in Nanjing to expand its “circle of friends” by targeting the leading commercial services, intelligent manufacturing, and software information industries in the Nanjing metropolitan area. At the same time, it has organized “enclave” enterprises to visit and learn from each other, promote in-depth exchanges and cooperation in multiple fields such as resources, technology, and talents, and carry out industrial cooperation with Nanjing in various forms to make new projects “fly”.
In April this year, Ma’anshan Software Park and Jiangsu Software Park, based on their previous cooperation, further signed the “Framework Agreement on Party Building Cooperation”, which clarified the five key co-construction contents of “organizational linkage, team co-development, activity co-organization, position co-construction, and resource sharing”. The two parties will continue to improve mechanisms such as regular consultation, information sharing, joint activity organization, enclave reciprocity, and party building co-construction on the basis of previous cooperation, and deepen strategic cooperation in areas such as mutual integration of party building, cadre exchanges, talent co-development and sharing, and industrial collaboration.

Science and Technology Enclave
From the “laboratory” to the “production line”
“Relying on the industry-university-research cooperation with Nanjing University of Science and Technology, our company has obtained more than 20 invention patents, and orders have been rising year by year.” The person in charge of Jiangsu Slim Intelligent Measurement and Control Technology Co., Ltd. located in Baohua Town, Jurong said that the two-way cooperation with universities has continuously injected innovative momentum into the company, and these university laboratories are the “enclaves” of the company. At present, he and his team are focusing on the research and development of “embedded intelligent control software” with the help of the low-temperature laboratory of Nanjing University of Science and Technology.
Chuzhou, which is connected to Nanjing by mountains and rivers, is also keeping a close eye on Nanjing’s university resources. On October 21, Chuzhou signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement with Nanjing Agricultural University, and the Chuzhou Science and Education Innovation Park of Nanjing Agricultural University in Quanjiao County officially started construction. Just in March this year, Chuzhou also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, which will be based on the school’s disciplinary advantages, talent advantages, and innovation advantages, and will further strengthen scientific and technological innovation and industrial incubation around emerging industries such as commercial aerospace, low-altitude economy, and aerospace equipment, and jointly promote collaborative technology research and collaborative transformation of results.
