Two major high-tech companies have recently chosen Wuhan for their significant regional headquarters and research projects.
Beijing Zhongxing Gaoke Technology Co., Ltd. held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony in Hongshan District. According to the agreement, Hongshan Capital plans to make a strategic investment in Zhongxing Gaoke. The two parties will collaborate to establish a leading commercial aerospace testing and pilot platform in the district through a joint venture. Concurrently, Zhongxing Gaoke's Central China headquarters will be established in Wuhan.
The headquarters base is located in the Qingling Urban Industrial Park in Hongshan District. The initial investment is 100 million yuan, covering an area of 5,000 square meters. It will focus on constructing standardized testing workshops, R&D laboratories, and supporting functional areas. Future investments will be scaled up according to industry development.
Upon completion, the project will concentrate on non-standardized testing fields such as commercial aerospace, shipbuilding, military industry, and low-altitude applications. It is expected to significantly enhance high-end testing service capabilities, extend its influence across central China, accelerate the gathering of scientific innovation talent, and boost industrial advancement. This will provide solid support for Hongshan District's goal of building a new hub for the commercial aerospace industry.
Zhongxing Gaoke is a leading company in China's commercial aerospace testing and inspection sector. It is one of the few private technology leaders in the country with capabilities in structural strength and non-standard environmental testing. The company specializes in providing comprehensive "strength, fluid, and environment" testing services for the military aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, and ordnance industries. Leveraging deep technical expertise, Zhongxing Gaoke has successfully undertaken multiple national-level key research testing projects, establishing a core technological barrier in non-standard testing research and engineering implementation. In recent years, the company has completed financing totaling billions of yuan, indicating high recognition from the capital markets.
Li Xing, Chairman and General Manager of Zhongxing Gaoke, stated that Hongshan District possesses superior resources and provides fertile ground for the development of the commercial aerospace testing industry. Aligning with national policy trends, the establishment of the headquarters in Wuhan is timely. Following its setup, Zhongxing Gaoke will continue to collaborate with upstream and downstream enterprises for clustered development, contributing significantly to the construction of Hongshan's commercial aerospace industrial chain.
Separately, Jiangxia Economic Development Zone recently held a concentrated signing ceremony for investment projects in the first quarter of 2026. Thirty-two key projects were signed, with a total investment reaching 10.09 billion yuan. Among them, Beijing Zhongke Haina Technology Co., Ltd., a global leader in sodium-ion battery technology, announced the establishment of its regional headquarters and a sodium-ion battery research institute in the area.
As a national high-tech enterprise focused on the R&D and production of sodium-ion batteries and their key materials, Zhongke Haina has deep expertise in the full-chain technology from materials to batteries to systems. The company has made continuous breakthroughs in addressing the new energy industry's reliance on lithium.
"Compared to lithium batteries, sodium-ion batteries not only offer excellent performance but also eliminate dependence on imported raw materials like lithium and copper, providing significant advantages in industrial security and cost," explained Li Shujun, General Manager of Zhongke Haina. The company is committed to advancing sodium-ion batteries from the "laboratory" to the "application field."
Li Shujun also outlined the company's strategic plan, which includes not only building the regional headquarters in Jiangxia but also establishing the sodium-ion battery research institute with the goal of upgrading it to a national-level institute. This research institute will continuously drive technological innovation, achievement transformation, and industrialization of sodium-ion batteries, expanding their application scenarios. The plan is to establish sodium-ion batteries as a mainstream technology for large-scale energy storage within three years, providing mature strategic technology reserves for the development of new energy.
