Recently, the list of Top 100 Advanced manufacturing parks in 2023 was recently released by CCID Consulting Advanced Manufacturing Research Center. Ccid consultants sorted out the “three paths”, “four focus points” and “five characteristics” of the development of advanced manufacturing parks.

01 The road to change: Three paths into advanced manufacturing parks

With “digital + technology” to empower the manufacturing industry, to promote the traditional park to the road of intelligent transformation. The transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing parks can use a new generation of information technology, one is to carry out intelligent transformation in the whole process of production and manufacturing. The second is to integrate resources with digitalization as a tool to solve the connectivity problem between enterprises, land, capital, technology and labor. The third is to introduce universities and research institutes to carry out common technology research, focusing on the connection between innovation and application.

With the extension of the chain development to continue the industry, leading the resource-based park to the value chain to the high-end climb. Resource-based parks can optimize industrial structure by extending to the middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain, transforming from mineral “pit mouth” to “high ground” for high-quality development. The first is to extend the industrial chain based on mineral resources and develop industries such as fine chemicals. The second is to rely on the industrial land indicators of the park, and actively introduce large projects and leading enterprises with high correlation with energy and enterprises in the park to form a highly related industrial chain.

In order to transform the production and manufacturing mode, the labor-intensive industrial park will be promoted to the road of improving efficiency. The industrial structure of labor-intensive parks can be optimized by changing the manufacturing mode. First, the primary form of “decentralized design, centralized production”, that is, the enterprise carries out its own industrial design, focusing on product research and development innovation. The second is the advanced form of “networked manufacturing alliance”, which is expanded from a single manufacturing factory to collaborate with multi-specialized companies to achieve parallel organization and collaborative optimization of all links.

02 Break the problem: Four focus points for the development of advanced manufacturing industry in the park

First, build industrial clusters to strengthen the scale effect and competitive advantage of the park. Industrial cluster construction is an important starting point of the top 100 parks. Accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing clusters is conducive to forming competitive advantages such as collaborative innovation, talent gathering, cost reduction and efficiency increase.

The second is to accelerate the accumulation of innovation resources to create the “maximum increment” of the development of the park. Innovation ecology is the first driving force for the development of the top 100 parks. By focusing on innovation resources, the top 100 parks have realized high-quality innovation and development of the parks and created high-quality scientific and technological innovation carriers; Strengthen the introduction and training of incubators.

The third is to promote the recruitment and cultivation of enterprises and inject new momentum into the development of the park. Fostering emerging enterprises and attracting investment are the top priorities of the development of the top 100 parks; Adhere to the “user thinking”, with “pro-business services” to create investment advantages.

Fourth, innovate low-carbon technologies and applications, and build demonstration industrial parks. To achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality has become the development direction of the park: optimizing the energy structure; Promote transformation and upgrading, and strengthen the construction of a green manufacturing system.

03 2023 Five characteristics of Top 100 Advanced manufacturing parks

The study of the top 100 Advanced manufacturing parks constructs a “five forces” evaluation model from five dimensions of economic strength, innovation potential, integration ability, industrial cohesion and green power, including 5 first-level indicators and 22 second-level indicators, to scientifically consider the comprehensive level of advanced manufacturing in national high-tech zones and economic development zones.
