Photo electronics is another major industry of Changchun and Changchun ETDZ. Changchun is home to the nation’s most famous institute for photo electronics and is home to over 80 research labs. Changchun Photo electronics Industrial Park was constructed in Changchun ETDZ by the Chinese Academy of Science. It involves an investment of nearly RMB 20 billion, and will be able to generate an industrial output of RMB 30 billion each year after the completion of construction. China Science Group, an affiliate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences engaged in high-tech investment and management, is the largest investor in this field.

This class of industrial parks that are mainly found in the Northeastern, Western and Central China, benefits from these regions’ lower labor cost.
