近现代工业重镇武汉，在中国科技发展的大潮中，一直扮演着敢为人先的角色。

如今，武汉已经形成东湖新技术开发区（又称中国光谷）和武汉经济技术开发区（又称武汉经开区）两大龙头，分别领跑高新科技和先进制造业领域。

中国光谷集聚了42 所高等院校、56 个国家及省部级科研院所、66 名两院院士、30 多万专业技术人员和80多万在校大学生，是中国三大智力密集区之一；光谷的知识创造和技术创新能力中国第一，是中国10 家“世界一流高科技园区”之一，正在向“世界光谷”进发。

武汉经开区因车而生，经过近30年发展，曾经的荒野湖汊成长为一座产业新城、国内外知名“车都”。目前，开发区已经形成了完整的产业链，在汽车和电子电器两大支柱产业之后，正在通过融合5G+北斗技术，探索无人驾驶的“中国方案”。

Wuhan,an important modern industrial city,has consistently blazed new trails in the journey of China’s technological development.

Today,Wuhan has formed two major leading industries,namely,the East Lake High-tech Zone (also known as the Optics Valley of China),and the Wuhan Economic Development Zone,respectively playing the leading position in the areas of high technology and advanced manufacturing.

The Optics Valley of China boasts 42 educational institutes of higher learning,56 national,provincial,and ministerial research institutes,66 academicians from the Chinese Academy of Science and the Chinese Academy of Engineering,more than 300,000 professional and technical personnel,and more than 800,000 on-campus college students.It is one of China’s three largest intelligenceintensive regions.Optics Valley’s knowledge accumulation and technological innovation rank first in China,and it is one of China’s 10 “world-class high-tech parks.” Now it is advancing toward the “Optics Valley of the World.”

The Wuhan Economic Development Zone made its start from auto manufacturing.After nearly 30 years of development,the former wild area of field and ponds have grown into a new industrial city and a motor town well-known at home and abroad.At present,the development zone has formed a complete industrial chain.After establishing itself in the two pillar industries of automobiles and electronic appliances,Hubei is exploring the “Chinese solution” for unmanned automobile driving technology with the help of 5G+and BeiDou technology.
