Build “tens of billions” of emerging industrial clusters
In the dust-free workshop, the staff wore dust-free production equipment to remove a disc-shaped sheet – PSS graphic sapphire substrate, “this is the current mainstream substrate material of the global LED epitaxial chip, although only 2-6 inches, but through the graphical structural design, different material combination application, and after epitaxial processing, it will become tens of thousands of chips,” The final application is in lighting, display, backlight, Mini/MicroLED, deep UV LED and other fields.” Introduction by the staff. This is the scene on the workshop floor of Guangdong Zhongtu Semiconductor Technology Co., whose products provide substrate materials for a new generation of electronic information industries.
In recent years, Dongguan, led by scientific and technological innovation, has opened up new Spaces such as intelligent robots and biomedicine, explored new industries such as semiconductors and integrated circuits, high-end equipment manufacturing, and explored new fields such as laser and additive, digital industry, with increasingly sufficient momentum for high-quality economic development.
The seven strategic emerging industrial bases planned by Dongguan City are all expected to grow into hundreds of billions or even trillion-level industrial clusters.
Dongguan put forward the development goals of “a solid start in one year, results in the beginning of three years, and five years on the stage”, and by the end of 2025, the formation of a trillion-level new generation of information technology, 500 billion-level high-end equipment manufacturing, 100 billion-level new materials, new energy, and 10 billion-level characteristic industrial clusters in towns and streets will be “tens, thousands, hundreds” of billion-level echelon development pattern.
Dongguan’s tens of billions of strategic emerging industrial clusters are ready to emerge, at the same time, investment, supporting services, traditional industrial transformation and upgrading issues are also urgently needed to be solved.
In recent years, although Dongguan has achieved phased results in industrial investment, the investment projects are mainly small and medium-sized projects below 100 million yuan. Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Institute of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, believes that Dongguan should enhance the attraction of large projects and large enterprises, so as to “free the cage and change the bird”, or even “change the cage and change the bird” and “nest and attract the phoenix”.
Bai Ming suggested that creating a business environment can be managed at different levels, just like house decoration, with a variety of options such as rough housing, simple installation repair, and fine decoration, and provide appropriate support for enterprises at different levels in terms of policy welfare, hardware and software supporting. Among them, in order to enhance the attractiveness of large enterprises and large projects, the business environment should not only be “refined decoration”, but also may need to be tailored.
After attracting enterprises, how can Dongguan retain strategic emerging industries and promote their development? Hai Wen believes that the government should solve the problem from three aspects. First, we need to provide a relaxed and undisturbed business environment for emerging industries. In addition, the policy should maintain consistency and continuity, to have a long-term plan for emerging industries, and adhere to this plan; Finally, the government should prevent and stop the unfair competition behavior of enterprises, and ensure the innovation and entrepreneurship of enterprises in a fair market environment.
Over the past 40 years, Dongguan has developed a number of traditional industries, and now, how to further improve the quality and upgrading of large but not strong traditional industries? Ding Li, an economics researcher at the Guangdong Academy of Social Sciences, suggested that the government should introduce industrial policies to guide the division of labor between leading enterprises in traditional industries and small and medium-sized enterprises to ensure technological upgrading and high-quality development, while also gathering scattered enterprises. If only a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises take the road of innovation, it is difficult for traditional industries to achieve transformation and upgrading.
