Because, as early as in the sixties, the country's "three-line construction" period, a large number of national defense research institutes and military enterprises moved into Mianyang, laid the foundation for science and technology in Mianyang. At present, Mianyang has a large number of scientific research institutes, a relative concentration of military backbone enterprises, scientific and technological talent elite, has become an important national defense research and military production base. So far Mianyang has more than 500 scientific research institutions of various types, including more than 40 large independent scientific research institutions; more than 160,000 professional and technical personnel of various types, including: academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 25 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, enjoying the government's special allowances for outstanding contributions to more than 800 experts. In particular, there are 18 national defense research institutes such as China Academy of Engineering Physics, China Aerodynamic Research and Development Center and China Gas Turbine Research Institute, 7 universities and colleges such as Southwest University of Science and Technology, 3 national technology centers of Changhong, Jiuzhou and Dongmai and 10 provincial technology centers such as Shuangma and Xinhua, and more than 50 large and medium-sized backbone enterprises such as Changhong, Jiuzhou, Shuangma, Brilliance, CR and Shuanghui. State-level high-tech industrial development zones, science and education entrepreneurship park and Southwest University of Science and Technology National University Science and Technology Park, economic and technological development zones, modern agricultural science and technology demonstration zones, the southern outskirts of the Industrial Park, Youxian economic test area, such as the development of parks in 6.
Mianyang Science and Technology City, the electronics industry accounted for 45.1% of the city's total industrial output value, color TV outside, air conditioning, VCD, high-energy environmentally friendly batteries, radar communications equipment, audio broadcast control equipment, electronic connectors, magnetic materials, medical instruments and many other electronic products, have the advantage of technology and market. In addition, electronic information, irradiation processing, computer software and other industries are developing strongly. Ultra-micro pulverization technology and products, heat-shrinkage technology and products, environmental protection engineering, super-hard materials, mechatronics, grease fine chemicals, insulating materials, automotive parts, automobile manufacturing, cement, stainless steel and other products also have strong competitiveness. Therefore, the State Council of the CPC Central Committee has identified Mianyang City as China's science and technology city, which is an excellent opportunity for the development of Mianyang City
