Recently, Anhui Province released the "Anhui Province Decision on Promoting Collaborative Sci-Tech Innovation in the Yangtze River Delta (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)," proposing joint efforts with Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai to establish national strategic sci-tech capabilities, national technology innovation centers, and major sci-tech infrastructure. The initiative aims to collaboratively build a hub for original innovation and a high-end industrial base, striving to create a globally influential Yangtze Delta sci-tech innovation community and deepen cooperation and shared development among the three provinces and one municipality. 

A representative from the Provincial Department of Science and Technology stated that the release of the draft marks a new phase in the construction of the Yangtze Delta sci-tech innovation community. By breaking down administrative barriers, the three provinces and one municipality will pool their strengths to create a comprehensive innovation ecosystem covering basic research, technological breakthroughs, achievement transformation, and industrial incubation, setting a benchmark for regional collaborative innovation nationwide.

As China's only major sci-tech infrastructure in the field of information and communications, the Future Intelligent Network Test Facility covers 40 major cities nationwide, with Hefei and Nanjing in the Yangtze River Delta region serving as key domestic nodes. It aims to build an intelligent network environment capable of meeting the testing needs of organizations across the Yangtze River Delta and globally.  

In recent years, Anhui has actively integrated into the Yangtze Delta region, jointly advancing technological breakthroughs, co-building innovation platforms, and sharing sci-tech resources. These efforts have significantly boosted the province's achievements in technology transfer and innovation capacity, contributing to the development of the Yangtze Delta Sci-Tech Innovation Community.
