The newly inducted members are the Honeywell China Innovation Center, Infineon (Shanghai) Joint Innovation Space, Delphi Automotive Systems Open Innovation Center, OPM Biomanufacturing Open Innovation Center, and Espressif Technology Innovation Empowerment Center.

The total number of large enterprise open innovation centers in Pudong now stands at 108, creating a robust innovation cluster that spans 12 countries across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
