The Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City (Tianjin Eco-city), located in the Binhai New Area in Tianjin City, China, is an industrial cluster actively promoted under the government's initiative. In the Tianjin Eco-city, multiple strategic programs have been actively promoted through collaboration of industry, government, and academia, ranging from a polysilicon production plant built jointly with Singaporean companies, to the big six business-inviting projects, including a research and development complex on solar energy by the Himin Solar Energy Group, a science and technology park by the Ascend as Group from Singapore, the digital media industry park, and the national integrated model district for animation industry. Japanese companies have also engaged in large-scale industrial cluster strategies there, as represented by their designation as advisors for construction projects. This article describes the present conditions and challenges of the Tianjin Eco-city as an industrial cluster strategy, based on my field surveys.
