China’s Manufacturing Innovation Centers

A Benchmarking Report for the Manufacturing USA Network

China’s Manufacturing Innovation Centers (MICs) are key components of the “Made in China 2025” strategy, aiming to position China as a global leader in advanced manufacturing. With at least 33 centers established, China is targeting strategic sectors like electric vehicles, semiconductors, and biopharmaceuticals. These MICs are supported by coordinated government investment and serve as regional innovation hubs, integrating research, industry, and education. The report benchmarks China’s approach against U.S. and German counterparts, highlighting the scale, structure, and implications for global manufacturing competitiveness.
