Recently, there was a news in the technology manufacturing industry, Foxconn Technology Group announced a big move - to spend 1 billion yuan in Zhengzhou to build a new business headquarters building. This is not decided by a small amount of money with a pat on the head, but there is a deep meaning behind it. China Exportsemi will talk to readers and friends about this matter today.
Having said that, Foxconn's previous layout in India and Viet Nam does not seem to be as strong as expected. The quality of workers in India is uneven, the infrastructure needs to be improved, and the industrial chain is not so mature. Although Viet Nam has good market potential, it is still a little smaller in scale. This turned around and looked at Zhengzhou, Henan, with mature conditions, a broad market and stable policies, no, Foxconn decided to come back.
It's not just about the money
Specifically, looking at the investment of 1 billion, Zhengzhou Foxconn's new business headquarters building will be more than just an office building. It will become the nerve center of Foxconn's "3+3" strategy, including emerging industries such as electric vehicles, digital health, and robotics, as well as new technologies such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and next-generation mobile communications.
The first phase of the new headquarters is located in Zhengdong New District, with a construction area of about 70,000 square meters. This scale, this hand, is not small. This is not only a huge promotion of Zhengzhou's industrial upgrading, but also a great benefit to the economic development of Henan and even the central region.

Zhengzhou's attraction, Foxconn's opportunity
Foxconn's choice of Zhengzhou is supported by data. In 2021, Zhengzhou Foxconn's export volume will reach a high proportion of 82%, and the annual output value will reach an astonishing figure of 440 billion yuan. How important Zhengzhou is to Foxconn, everyone can see this data.
Moreover, Zhengzhou's geographical location, convenient transportation, and developed logistics are all plus points for the manufacturing industry. The Zhengzhou Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone provides an important fulcrum for Foxconn's global layout.
Foxconn's "3+3" strategy is more than just a vision
Foxconn's "3+3" strategy may sound a bit abstract, but concretely, it represents Foxconn's determination and direction of transformation. Electric vehicles, digital health, and robotics are all sunrise industries of the future. Artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and new-generation mobile communications are new technologies that represent the future of science and technology.
Especially for the electric vehicle project, Foxconn has made it clear that it will build a world-class high-end demonstration production line for new energy vehicles in Zhengzhou and build a world-class lighthouse factory. It's not just about made cars, it's about building the future.
Solid-state batteries, Foxconn's new trump card
The solid-state battery project is another highlight of Foxconn. As the heart of electric vehicles, breakthroughs in battery technology will directly affect the performance and market competitiveness of electric vehicles. Foxconn's layout of the solid-state battery industry in Zhengzhou Airport is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a far-reaching layout for the future energy revolution.
Epilogue
Foxconn's 1 billion investment in Zhengzhou is not a simple return, this is a strategic deep cultivation. This is great confidence in Zhengzhou, Henan, and the Chinese mainland market. Foxconn's decision is not only a reflection on the investment experience of India and Viet Nam, but also an accurate grasp of future manufacturing trends.
We have reason to believe that with the completion of Foxconn's new business headquarters, Zhengzhou will usher in a new round of industrial upgrading and economic take-off. Foxconn's new layout in Zhengzhou will inject new vitality into the development of the manufacturing industry in Henan and even the whole country. The 1 billion yuan investment is not only a digital growth, but also a qualitative leap in Foxconn's development strategy.
The future of Zhengzhou, the future of Foxconn, the future of manufacturing, let us wait and see!
