Spanning 336 square kilometers, Longsheng is positioned as Liangjiang's key platform for industrial development, focusing on the automotive, equipment, and aerospace sectors.

During a recent promotional event, Longsheng unveiled numerous development opportunities across three industrial clusters and three emerging investment areas.

In terms of industrial clusters, the advanced manufacturing industrial cluster features intelligent manufacturing factories, including standard factories, demonstration and R&D, and supporting facilities.

The modern services industrial cluster will develop auto software and information services, commercial services, digital content services, cloud services, operational services, artificial intelligence, electronic business, and other modern service sectors.

The big health industrial cluster will focus on the specialized medical treatment chain, the practical application of advancements in medical science, the wellness service chain, and supporting facilities. In the next three to five years, it aims to become a national demonstration cluster for big health.

Longsheng expects the average industrial output per mu (667 square meters) for companies above the designated size to reach 17 million yuan by 2027.
