# A City of Innovation and Openness: Hohhot’s Answer to Integrated Development - Link: https://www.thailand-business-news.com/pr-news/a-city-of-innovation-and-openness-hohhots-answer-to-integrated-development - Published: 2026-08-27T23:50:00+07:00 - Author: Media OutReach HOHHOT, CHINA – [Media OutReach Newswire](https://www.media-outreach.com/) – 28 August 2026 – On 25 August, Hohhot convened a conference on deepening the integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation. At the event, the city officially released its Measures for Advancing Deep Integration of Technological Innovation and Industrial Innovation, together with an overarching implementation plan. The 20 measures share one objective: to place economic and social development firmly on an innovation-driven path and accelerate Hohhot’s emergence as an important growth pole for high-quality development in northern China. ![Scene from Hohhot's Conference on Deepening the Integration of Technological Innovation and Industrial Innovation](https://images.media-outreach.com/release.php/Thumb/1600x1066/ 802055/802055-1-14-jpg-1600x1066.jpeg) _ Scene from Hohhot’s Conference on Deepening the Integration of Technological Innovation and Industrial Innovation “The less developed a region is, the more it needs to pursue an innovation-driven development strategy.” This message, voiced at the conference, reflects the clear- eyed resolve of a provincial capital city. That resolve is underpinned by real strengths. Here, the National Dairy Technology Innovation Centre has shortened dairy-cattle breeding evaluation from four years to just 45 days and cultivated China’s first probiotic strain for infants and young children derived from Chinese breast milk, helping the “Dairy Capital of China” advance towards becoming a global dairy hub. A major scientific facility for aerospace, sky-to-ground, cross-scale metrology, benchmarked against international leaders, is rising in Horinger New District. Inner Mongolia University of Technology has launched the region’s first new-energy industrial large model open to the world. Meanwhile, a domestic enterprise—the only one currently able to produce 4N5 high-purity germanium products consistently—is helping quantum technology and calcium-titanium mineral photovoltaics overcome key raw-material bottlenecks. From a single microbial strain to a beam of light, technological and industrial innovation are converging here and reinforcing one another. Even more compelling is the city’s tangible commitment. Municipal fiscal investment in science and technology will double in 2026 and double again in 2027. Newly recognised national-level innovation platforms will receive a one-off research grant of RMB 3 million, while each “Qingcheng Science and Technology Innovation Leading Talent” may receive up to RMB 500,000 in research support. By 2030, Hohhot aims to introduce an additional 10 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, as well as 50 high-level innovation teams. Through a policy approach of “enjoy benefits without application and receive them directly and swiftly”, the city will provide inclusive computing-power vouchers, model vouchers and token vouchers to technology-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises—lowering barriers to innovation and demonstrating the city’s sincerity in supporting innovators. ![The World Dairy Capital sculpture is unveiled at Yili Modern Wisdom Health Valley.]( https://release.media-outreach.com/release.php/Images/802062/2-5-.jpg#image-802062) _ The World Dairy Capital sculpture is unveiled at Yili Modern Wisdom Health Valley._ Openness is a defining feature of Hohhot. Drawing on the Hohhot Area of the China (Inner Mongolia) Pilot Free Trade Zone, the city is building an international science and technology cooperation base with countries along the Belt and Road. It is also deepening coordination with Beijing’s Haidian District through a “two-hour innovation circle”, exploring a new pathway in which research and development take place elsewhere while results are transformed and applied in Hohhot. Hohhot understands that innovation cannot thrive as an undertaking enclosed behind walls. Like the Mongolian horse, it is resilient, diligent and determined—never resting until the goal is achieved. This is the character of the city: the breadth and inclusiveness of the grasslands, combined with the courage and pioneering spirit to open northwards, explore new frontiers and put ideas into action. From the “Dairy Capital of China” to China’s “Cloud Valley”, from the pastures of Chilechuan to the computing-power clusters of Horinger, this green city is becoming a city of innovation. Hohhot extends an invitation to the world: here there are supportive policies, real-world application scenarios and a genuine commitment to partnership—together with a vast landscape in which to join hands with those who strive and build for the future.
