Situated in Weihai Lingang Economic and Technological Development Zone, the carbon fiber industrial park, dubbed as a new professionally-polished incubator, forms a hub of 4 functional areas in 2.4 km² comprising R&D layout and actualization, carbon fiber production, composite material production, and intelligent community.

 

This land goes all out to build complete verticals from carbon fiber, fabrics, prepreg to the production, testing and recycling of composite products. The onward movement now is to usher scientific research institutes, universities, pilot and scale-up projects into operation to create an efficient service chain for R&D, incubation, acceleration and production, as well as to provide all-round entrepreneurial services like office site selection, intermediary services, capital support, marketing services and financing.
