As a pivotal part of the Yangtze River Delta integration strategy, the Hongqiao International Central Business District (CBD) has attracted high-tech enterprises and gathered an abundance of international resources, leading to an industrial clustering effect.
As a result, Hongqiao has attracted a large number of scientific and technological innovation enterprises and top-tier talent, among which Shanghai-based navigation technology company CHCNAV stands out.
Having been operating in Hongqiao for years, CHCNAV has remained steadfast in its focus on core technology R&D and solution innovation, achieving continuous breakthroughs in fields such as unmanned survey vessels, and digital construction.
Fifteen years ago, the company ventured into the precision agriculture sector. Its independently developed Beidou-based agricultural machinery autonomous driving system has garnered international influence in the industry and is now exported overseas.
According to Shen Xuefeng, vice-president of the precision agriculture product line at CHCNAV, the company's success in the agricultural machinery autonomous driving domain was not instantaneous but the result of years of dedication and self-driven endeavors.
"In 2020, we introduced the fourth-generation agricultural machinery autonomous driving product NX510, which significantly impacted the market. Presently, we hold a market share of approximately 30 percent, the highest in the industry." It was also during this period that CHCNAV's agricultural machinery products began to be exported overseas.
The Hongqiao International CBD, with its multifaceted advantages in location, policies, and talent, serves as a pioneering zone for supporting enterprises in their global endeavors, providing sustained growth impetus for innovative firms like CHCNAV and their skilled personnel.
The district has implemented a comprehensive talent policy system, offering robust support for high-caliber professionals like Shen.
Looking ahead, Shen said that he believes that with the backing of relevant platforms and facilities, Hongqiao has the potential to evolve into the "Silicon Valley" of global precision agriculture.
