Jinshan released 15 new policies at the summit to facilitate the industry's development and a new fund was also established to support carbon fibre composite research and development, according to information on the official website of the district.
Meanwhile, the district will also offer listing consultation services for industry companies looking for opportunities and investments from the STAR market, a US-style exchange for technology companies.
In May, the Shanghai Carbon Fibre Composites Innovation Institute was established in Jinshan. It has been working with Jiao Tong University and the state-owned Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) on new material research. (DS)
