Jingmen High-Tech Industrial Development Zone has been included in the "Top 100 High-Quality Development Industrial Parks (2025)" list released by CCID Consulting. The report, titled *Research on High-Quality Development of China's Industrial Parks in 2025*, highlights industrial parks as key drivers of regional economic growth, emphasizing their role in technological innovation and industrial clustering.

The study underscores that industrial parks must prioritize "new quality productive forces" to transition from scale-driven to quality-driven development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. This requires systemic enhancements in innovation ecosystems, platforms, and entities.
