According to the World Intellectual Property Organization's Global Innovation Index, which covers 139 countries, China has made significant progress over the past five years. In 2025, the country entered the global top ten for the first time, and 24 Chinese innovation clusters made it into the top 100, a 40% increase from five years ago. The Shenzhen-Xiaangang-Guangzhou innovation cluster has ranked first globally for the third year in a row.
The 14th Five-Year Plan Program places particular emphasis on the “timely creation of an advanced national scientific and technical infrastructure.”
Focusing on promising areas, China is implementing a number of strategically important projects in this area. The Hefei Synchrotron Radiation Facility, a new-generation facility, is being built in Hefei Science City.
Once completed, it will allow scientists to study the microworld at the level of molecules, atoms, and even electrons. Over the past five years, twice as many scientific and technical infrastructure facilities have been built as in the previous five-year period, setting a record and laying a solid foundation for fundamental research.
Building on this cutting-edge infrastructure, innovation hubs are rapidly emerging in China. In the Greater Bay Area, universities and research institutes are actively collaborating across geographic boundaries, creating an innovation ecosystem that has transformed this approximately 200 square kilometer region into a model for the integration of science, education, and industry. This experience is spreading throughout China, ensuring the free flow of innovative resources.
Within five years, the results of scientific research quickly move from laboratories to production lines, stimulating the development of new quality productive forces.
China ranks first in the world for artificial intelligence (AI) patents. On average, a new AI company is created every 11 hours, bringing the total number of patents to over 5,000. The widespread penetration of AI is driving the development of numerous industries.
Domestic deep brain stimulators (DBS) have become widespread and have helped 30,000 patients with Parkinson's disease improve motor function.
More than 20 key cities, including Shanghai, Beijing, and Wuhan, have built city-wide quantum communication networks, forming the world's largest quantum communications network. Today, China boasts the world's largest number of researchers and over 500,000 high-tech enterprises. Innovation, the primary driver of development, ensures the sustainable growth of the Chinese economy.
