On January 26, 2026, the People's Government of Nanjing City rolled out the "Several Policies for Accelerating the Development of New Quality Productive Forces and Facilitating High - Quality Growth (2026 Edition)." This policy document puts forward the plan to expedite the strategic deployment of future industries. It zeroes in on emerging sectors, including sixth - generation information and communication (6G), gene and cell technologies, advanced semiconductor materials, atomic - scale manufacturing, brain - computer interfaces, and synthetic biology.

The goal is to set up a coordinated cultivation system for future industry pilot zones at the national, provincial, and municipal levels. The government will offer support to parks that have been designated as national pilot zones and actively encourage specialized institutions to take part in operational services. In parallel, Nanjing is set to vigorously foster future energy sources, exemplified by next - generation photovoltaic cells, and make significant strides in enhancing the capacity of virtual power plants across the entire city.
