With a millennia-old history, Xinzheng is a city where tradition flows into the future. Its story evolves from the romantic ballads of the Zheng Feng section in the Book of Songs to the modern pulse of industry; from the profound heritage of the Yellow Emperor culture to the soaring growth of its airport-linked economy. This city, inherently innovative, is transforming its historical legacy into a driving force for progress. It innovates while preserving its heritage and develops through that innovation, opening a vibrant new chapter where timeless heritage meets contemporary vision, and robust capability pairs with compelling charm.

千年古城，一脉相承。从《诗经·郑风》的浪漫歌谣，到现代产业的激昂交响；从黄帝文化的深厚底蕴，到临空经济的展翅高飞。郑州新郑，这座从不缺乏创新基因的城市，正将历史积淀转化为前行力量，在传承中创新，在创新中发展，绘就一幅古韵与新意交融、实力与魅力并举的崭新画卷。

Leveraging its location near Zhengzhou and the airport, Xinzheng is building a modern industrial framework focused on two pillar sectors, modern food and equipment manufacturing, and one emerging sector, biopharmaceuticals. It is vigorously developing nine specialized parks, including those for special steel, electronics, surface treatment, emergency response, and biopharmaceuticals. The goal is to create a clustered ecosystem where "an industrial park functions as a complete industrial chain, and neighboring buildings house upstream and downstream suppliers". This approach gathers enterprises, strengthens industries, and accelerates industrial upgrading.

立足“临港近郑”优势，郑州新郑围绕现代食品、装备制造、生物医药“两主一新”产业布局，强力推进特钢产业园、电子信息产业园、表面处理产业园、大应急产业园、生物医药产业园等9个专业园区建设，着力塑造“产业园就是产业链，上下楼就是上下游”的集群生态，以园区聚企业、强产业、促升级。

The food industry, a traditional pillar for Xinzheng, is gaining fresh momentum through innovation. Baixiang Food has grown from a restructured small factory in Xuedian Town into an industry giant with products exported to over 60 countries and annual sales exceeding ten billion yuan. The secret to its success lies in a relentless innovation cycle of "launching new products every month", expanding its portfolio from instant noodles to beverages, seasonings, and frozen foods.

食品产业作为郑州新郑的传统支柱，在创新中迸发新活力。白象食品从薛店镇的改制小厂成长为产品出口60多个国家、年销售额过百亿的行业巨头，其秘诀在于“每月都有新产品上市”的持续创新，产品矩阵已从方便面扩展至饮料、调味料、速冻食品等多领域。

Following this leader, renowned companies like Snow Beer, Kingstar Beer, Bright Dairy, and Dali Foods have established operations in Xinzheng. Entire business networks from Fujian and Zhejiang have also relocated here, fostering a complete food industry chain that spans from upstream suppliers like Sinograin to downstream packaging and logistics.

在龙头引领下，雪花啤酒、金星啤酒、光明乳业、达利食品等知名企业纷至沓来，闽商、浙商“亲友团”整体入驻，推动郑州新郑食品产业形成从上游中储粮到下游包装、物流的完整链条。

Currently, Xinzheng is also planning and developing a biomedical industrial park. It continues to increase investment in research and development, focusing on fostering industrial clusters in biopharmaceuticals, innovative chemical drugs, modern applications of traditional Chinese medicine, and advanced medical devices.

目前，郑州新郑还规划建设生物医药产业园，持续加大研发投入，着力培育生物制药、化学创新药、现代中药、先进医疗器械等产业集群。

The core of developing new quality productive forces lies in innovation, and its foundation lies in talent. Xinzheng hosts the largest concentration of universities and vocational colleges in Henan province. It is home to 25 institutions, including Zhongyuan University of Technology, Henan University of Engineering, and Sias University. The number of enrolled students in these institutions has reached nearly 300,000.

发展新质生产力，核心在创新，根基在人才。郑州新郑是全省大中专院校最多的县（市），中原工学院、河南工程学院、郑州西亚斯学院等25所大中专院校在此汇聚，常年在校生近30万人。

Xinzheng is centered on the Nanlonghu Lake area, the southern gateway to the provincial capital. The city is now striving to establish itself as a provincial-level demonstration zone for industry-academia integration. By leveraging the resources and talent advantages of these institutions, it aims to complete the final step in translating practical research findings into real-world applications, turning innovations from the laboratory into outcomes on the production line.

围绕省会南大门南龙湖片区，郑州新郑正全力打造全省产学研一体化示范区，借力院校资源和人才优势，打通实用性科研成果落地转化的“最后一公里”，推动“实验室”里的创新转化为“生产线”上的成果。

Xinzheng consistently strives to make the city more welcoming and life more fulfilling. At the Home of the Yellow Emperor scenic area, cultural exhibition projects are steadily advancing. Two modern exhibition halls dedicated to Yellow Emperor culture and surname culture are being prepared and are expected to open next spring.

郑州新郑始终努力让城市更有温度、生活更有品质。黄帝故里景区正稳步推进文化展示项目建设，两座以黄帝文化和姓氏文化为主题的现代化展馆正加紧布展，预计明年春季开放。

Xinzheng's pioneering spirit springs from its innate openness and is forged through innovation that moves with the times. Surging with fresh vigor, the city sees its prosperous rise clearly on the horizon.

新郑的“新”，源于其深植于血脉的开放基因，成于其与时俱进的创新实践。新郑，其势正新，其兴可待！
