The manufacturing industry is the lifeblood of the national economy and an important support for promoting high-quality economic development. As China's largest economic province, Guangdong's "manufacturing genes" have long been flowing in its economic blood.
Since last year, Guangdong has put forward the ambitious goal of "rebuilding a new Guangdong". It is already the province with the largest economy, and it is obviously difficult to double it again.
The target is in the distance, and there are "pursuers" behind it. Currently, all parts of the country are accelerating the cultivation of emerging industries and promoting the quality and upgrading of manufacturing. Under such circumstances, how can Guangdong stand out and consolidate its advantages in the manufacturing industry?
Innovation is the confidence to take the lead.
Only holding on to the existing position, this is natural for Guangdong, which has the goal of transforming from a "big manufacturing province" to a "strong manufacturing province", from "starting in manufacturing" to "leading the manufacturing industry" Not nearly enough.
If you want to be the pillar, you can only expand your territory.
This is the latest manufacturing innovation index report released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in which we found key information: Guangdong ranks first in the provincial manufacturing innovation resource index; Guangdong is twice as leading as the second place in the innovation output index Above; the number of valid invention patents in Guangdong is also about twice that of the second place. The huge innovative advantages of
bring endless new momentum. Taking the electronic information industry as an example, production and sales have been booming since the beginning of this year, with industrial added value and sales output increasing by 16.9% and 13.8% respectively year-on-year, setting the fastest growth rate in the same period in the past decade. Among other key industries, the industrial added value of petrochemicals and electrical machinery also increased by 7.0% and 3.1% year-on-year.
Innovation is patience and waiting for a good harvest
Today’s explosive growth stems from patient waiting in the past.
"Rice" is the staple food of most people in China. In industry, there is also "industrial rice", which is a kind of electronic component that is used in everything from smart watches to to new energy vehicles.
Just like hybrid rice needs countless trials to be successful, cultivating this "industrial rice" also requires years.
The person in charge of a related R&D company told reporters that in the past three years, they have invested more than 350 million in R&D, accounting for more than 10% of their main business income. The R&D team of more than 300 people works day and night and has obtained more than 70 patents. The thinnest product developed is only one-fortieth of a human hair.
But the long research and development is still only the first step in starting a business. The performance of production equipment cannot keep up, and mass production cannot be achieved even with technology alone. Only by improving the overall industrial chain can enterprises get out of trouble.
The emergence of the concept of "big platform for scientific and technological innovation and development" has solved this problem encountered by many electronic small and medium-sized enterprises in Guangdong, and the upstream and downstream of the industry chain have begun to jointly tackle key problems. If the equipment is not good, redesign the equipment; if there are not enough talents, improve the introduction treatment; if land is difficult to use, take the initiative to solve the funding and approval issues. Finally, "industrial rice" ushered in a "big harvest."
This year, in the upstream of the industrial chain, small-sized resistive-capacitive sensing products used in drones have been mass-produced by a company in Zhaoqing. In consumer terminals, new technologies such as AI and folding screens have promoted the development of electronic products towards high-end and intelligence. . At the end of June, China's first 12-inch smart sensor wafer manufacturing line was successfully put into operation in Zengcheng, Guangzhou. When the reporter came here, technical experts from several new R&D institutions in Guangdong began a new round of product and process R&D testing with corporate R&D personnel.
Innovation is confidence. Spring is everywhere in Lingnan.
In the interview, we not only saw how companies were willing to spend money on technological research, but also how a region was able to maintain its composure in cultivating new industries.
Zou Yongbing, chief economist of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, told reporters that Guangdong has established 20 strategic industrial clusters, each of which is cultivated with such patience and standards. Now, the added value of 20 strategic industrial clusters accounts for more than 40% of GDP, including 8 trillion-level industrial clusters and 7 advanced manufacturing clusters. The operating income and profit scale of Guangdong's industrial enterprises above designated size also rank first in the country.
The tangible results have given enterprises more confidence and created a stronger atmosphere for innovation. At present, there are 76,000 high-tech enterprises in the province, and the comprehensive regional innovation capabilities have ranked first in the country for seven consecutive years. More innovation centers and technology centers have sprung up, and a number of pilot tests and application verification platforms have been built to provide services to enterprises.
Breaking through upwards, Guangdong has taken up the leading role in industry; seeking innovation and change, spring is everywhere in Lingnan.
