Two semiconductor projects, Oritek Semiconductor and Zhipu Xinyuan in Top Smart City, both in Shanghai's Putuo district, received land, construction approvals, and property certificates on the same day on Aug 6, enabling them to benefit from the district's "land acquisition to construction" and "land handover to certificate" services for the first time.

To cut approval time, Putuo authorities began reviewing applications even before the land transfer contracts were signed. Multiple departments, including those responsible for planning, construction, fire safety, and taxation, worked in parallel to streamline design reviews, permit issuance, tax payments, land handover, and property registration. The move reflects Putuo's efforts to shift from businesses having to navigate multiple government departments to a coordinated service model.

The two projects will also strengthen Top Smart City's semiconductor cluster. Oritek Semiconductor, on a 4,341-square-meter site, will establish the company's Shanghai R&D headquarters, focusing on system-level SoC chips and solutions for intelligent vehicles.

The 8,839-square-meter site will host a chip and semiconductor innovation service center for Zhipu Xinyuan. It will provide support for integrated circuit companies along the Shanghai-Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt and help build an industrial ecosystem covering headquarters, R&D, packaging and testing, and application services.
