The location of the relevant clusters is also grasping the window of industrial upgrading, anchoring the development goals of 100 billion and trillion in the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, and promoting the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry. Nanjing proposed that by 2025, the output value of new power (smart grid) equipment clusters will exceed 400 billion yuan. Zhuzhou proposed to build a world-class advanced rail transit equipment industrial cluster, achieve a cluster scale of over 200 billion yuan by 2025, and build a world-class rail transit equipment R&D center and an internationally leading intelligent manufacturing center for rail transit equipment. The Guangzhou-Shenzhen Foguan Intelligent Equipment Industrial Cluster proposes to build a world-class intelligent equipment industrial cluster with an output value of more than one trillion yuan by 2025, and form an intelligent equipment industrial system with active innovation, optimized structure and leading scale.
Innovation, talent, capital and other resources will also be further assembled. The reporter learned that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Shanghai IC cluster will invest another 300 billion yuan, and at the same time, it will introduce targeted policies in talent settlement, individual tax reduction, SME cultivation, and industrial fund support to ensure industrial development. Shenzhen will support the construction of key projects for the Shenzhen-Guangzhou high-end medical device cluster, give play to the guiding role of government funds, attract industrial investment funds and venture capital institutions, and establish a full-chain capital support method.
Since the start of the cultivation of advanced manufacturing clusters in 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has innovated ways to build a competition field between clusters. It has passed two rounds of cluster competitions and finally plans to determine 25 key support clusters. The relevant person in charge of the Planning Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that the purpose of the competition is to adopt the "horse racing theory of heroes", from among the leaders in different industries, according to unified evaluation standards, select "countries that can undertake the national mission and participate in global competition and cooperation on behalf of our country." Advanced manufacturing clusters", let them hit the "world champion."
Driven by innovation mechanisms and favorable measures, advanced manufacturing clusters are promoting enterprise agglomeration and industrial development from "physical addition" to "chemical integration", improving collaborative innovation capabilities, strengthening upstream and downstream cooperation in the industrial chain, and accelerating regional Positive results have been achieved in coordinated development and other aspects.
The Shenzhen-Guangzhou high-end medical device cluster in Guangdong Province covers more than 500 high-end medical device companies. Although it spans Shenzhen and Guangzhou, the upstream and downstream industrial chains are very closely integrated. In terms of production, suppliers of key components such as medical biomaterials, sensors, and detectors are highly concentrated, forming a "one-hour" outsourcing and customized processing supply circle. In terms of circulation, there are tens of thousands of third-party supply chain companies such as logistics and warehousing, providing strong support for the smooth flow of upstream and downstream enterprises. In 2019, the output value of this cluster reached 25.5 billion yuan, accounting for 42.5% of the country's total output value of high-end medical devices.
The Qingdao rail transit equipment cluster has 479 upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, and the local supporting rate of products exceeds 50%. The industry drives the regional economy of rail transit in the country by more than 800 billion yuan. Relying on leading companies such as CRRC Sifang and CRRC Sifang, together with domestic first-class universities and core supporting enterprises, jointly build strategic alliances for industrial technology innovation and promote the integration and development of large and medium-sized enterprises.
"By cultivating and developing advanced manufacturing clusters, and relying on the foundation and characteristics of industrial development, local governments will effectively promote the agglomeration of resources such as industry, innovation, talent, capital, and data in a certain area, and enhance the synergy of regional development." Chinese Academy of Sciences Science and Technology Strategy Consulting Researcher Zhao Zuoquan of the Research Institute said that advanced manufacturing clusters have established a networked coordination mechanism for government, industry, academia, and research to promote the effective connection of manufacturing and technological innovation, and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological innovation results into large-scale commercialization. At the same time, strengthen the horizontal division of labor and vertical integration of the industrial chain. The "chain master" enterprises are closely matched with upstream and downstream "specialized, special and new" small and medium-sized enterprises, making the supply chain of the industrial chain more flexible and resilient, and effectively forming economies of scale.
In the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will strengthen the guidance and evaluation of advanced manufacturing clusters, optimize the cluster competition mechanism, and do a good job in the dynamic management of clusters. Through competition guidance, speed up the establishment of a national, provincial, and municipal multi-level cluster cultivation system, and promote the formation of a new pattern of competitive development of clusters and continuous improvement of quality.
Hou Yanquan, director of the Regional Development Research Office of the Planning Institute of China Electronics Information Industry Development Research Institute, said that creating a good policy environment will further enhance the vitality of cluster development. The next step is to make overall plans for cluster policies, create a cluster policy toolbox that includes policies on industry, innovation, finance, finance, regional and public services, and build a flow of people, logistics, capital chains, and information flow in response to the common needs of clusters. Convergence of various public service platforms. While supporting leading enterprises and small and medium enterprises upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to establish a local supporting supply system, encourage small and medium enterprises to "group and cooperate" and actively participate in global development.
