Oriental Chip Port in Shanghai's Lin-gang Special Area has emerged as a major hub for China's integrated circuit industry, with key projects continuously advancing to drive the area's development.

Lin-gang has unveiled 82 major projects for 2026, including 49 in the industrial and technology sectors, highlighting the area's efforts on industrial innovation. At the start of 2026, several key projects at the port have broken ground or begun operations.

Wanzn Energy Safety, a company specializing in providing fire protection solutions, is building an international R&D center and laboratory in the Oriental Chip Port. With a total investment of 400 million yuan ($58.32 million) and a gross floor area of 40,000 square meters, the facility will combine AI with energy storage safety technologies to drive technological innovation.

After its launch, the project will integrate into Lin-gang's industrial ecosystem, explore new energy safety applications for drones and other equipment operating in harsh environments, and contribute to building a full-chain safety and risk control system.

ProMinent Group, a German manufacturer of metering pumps and metering technology, has also expanded its footprint in Lin-gang. Its Shanghai headquarters and metering pump R&D base, which broke ground in July 2023, recently became operational.
