Under a regional coordinated development plan, Cangzhou has benefited from the industries it took over from Beijing and Tianjin, two nearby metropolises.

It has also done a good job in leveraging scientific and technological achievements.

In the last five years, some 1,300 key projects in manufacturing, modern pharmacy, eco-technology and other fields have been introduced to Cangzhou with the total contracted investment volume reaching 602.7 billion yuan (about $87.4 billion).
