Ten disciplines—including Agricultural Sciences, Plant and Animal Sciences, Engineering, Environmental Science and Ecology, Chemistry, Biology, and Biochemistry—have entered the top 1% of the ESI global discipline rankings. The university boasts a wealth of talented individuals and strong research capabilities; its flagship disciplines align closely with the industrial development directions of our city, offering broad prospects for cooperation and tremendous room for growth. Shijiazhuang enjoys a solid foundation for industrial development. Taking into account factors such as resource endowments and development potential, the municipal Party committee and government have explicitly proposed vigorously promoting breakthroughs in two key industries—next-generation information electronics and biopharmaceuticals—and strongly fostering more than five trillion-yuan-level industrial clusters in modern food, commerce and logistics, and equipment manufacturing. In particular, regarding the development of the two leading industries—biopharmaceuticals and modern food—Shijiazhuang and Northwest A&F University enjoy a solid cooperative foundation and vast potential for collaboration.
