This is a major breakthrough for Foshan.
Recently, the Foshan Investment Promotion Bureau announced a blockbuster news, which made the whole city excited. From January 2021 to November 2023, Foshan has attracted 1,322 projects of 100 million yuan or more than 10 million US dollars, with a contracted investment of 10,3038.5 billion yuan.
A trillion-dollar GDP city has ushered in trillions of investment, which provides strong support for rebuilding a new Foshan.
Foshan investment promotion from weak to strong, is the fruit of the Foshan Municipal Party Committee and the city's first bold efforts to promote the reform of the investment promotion system and mechanism, is to create a first-class business environment as the "No. 1 reform project", the construction of the "Yisha you" enterprise service system brought about by the results, but also with the "four determinations" to promote the "four major changes" to achieve a major breakthrough.
Looking to the future, investment promotion will play a greater role in Foshan's promotion of new industrialization and the construction of a more competitive modern industrial system.
Steady growth. Treat investment with unprecedented attention.
Judging from the data, in recent years, Foshan's investment promotion achievements have indeed ushered in a huge leap.
From January to November this year, Foshan signed a total investment of 38581.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1925%, the whole year is expected to break through the 400 billion yuan mark;In 2022, the total investment in Foshan will exceed 300 billion yuanIn 2021, the total investment exceeded 200 billion yuan. It has broken through the 100 billion mark in one year, and the total contracted investment in Foshan has exceeded 1 trillion yuan in the past three years.
Attracting investment of 1 trillion yuan is a new height in Foshan's space-time coordinates. For the city, this is not just a number, nor is it just a change in a certain area, but a global change that affects the whole body.
Foshan's ability to attract more than one trillion yuan in three years is inseparable from the great attention paid by the Foshan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee to the work of attracting investment in recent years.
Entering the "14th Five-Year Plan", the Foshan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee are determined to carry out large-scale investment promotion and large-scale business, build a high-end platform for the high-quality economic and social development of Foshan, introduce high-quality projects, gather strategic resources, build a strong manufacturing city, and promote high-quality development.
As a result, Foshan regards investment promotion as a major event related to the overall situation and long-term development, and carries out a systematic layout.
In August 2021, the 13th Plenary Session of the 12th Foshan Municipal Party Committee proposed to change the situation that the industry is not contiguous, the land supply is not guaranteed, the industry is not high-end, and the investment is not strong. At the end of November 2021, the 13th Party Congress of Foshan once again emphasized that it would adhere to the "four determinations" to promote the "four major changes", accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system supported by advanced manufacturing, and make Foshan manufacturing "evergreen".
These overall problems that must be changed are also the main problems faced by attracting investment. As a result, a big action to break the shackles of Foshan's high-quality economic development has been vigorously launched.
Deep reforms. The city's investment structure has been reshaped and renewed.
The past three years have been three years of great leaps and bounds in Foshan's investment promotion achievements, and it is also three years of systematic, in-depth and overall reform and innovation in Foshan's investment promotion work.
In this process, the changes in the organizational structure and team of investment promotion are the main lines of observation of Foshan's investment promotion reform. The starting point of this round of reform is to strengthen the overall planning and leadership of the municipal party committee and the municipal government for the city's investment promotion work, and make investment promotion a "number one project" from the organizational structure.
In August 2021, Foshan established a leading group for investment promotion work headed by the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor, and established the municipal investment promotion office for the first time, which is responsible for organizing and carrying out investment promotion of key projects in the city and tracking the implementation of key investment projects. Then, in 2022, Foshan will set up the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau and the Investment Promotion Bureau of the Five Districts for the first time to realize the substantiation of investment promotion agencies and the professional operation of investment promotion teams.
Among them, the Foshan Investment Promotion Bureau was listed in September 2022 to coordinate the work force of investment promotion in Foshan and build a young and professional investment promotion team. Foshan Investment Promotion Bureau should not only attract large and good projects for Foshan, but also do a good job in the full-cycle service of enterprise investment around this goal.
In the five districts of the city, the establishment of the district-level investment promotion bureau has also made the investment promotion work of each district into a fist, and realized the town-street linkage to promote the implementation of major projects.
The reform and innovation of Foshan's investment promotion has never relaxed the pace of exploration. In August 2023, in response to the new situation and new tasks of investment promotion, Foshan set up five investment promotion working groups in Beijing, Suzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Wuhan.
At the same time, Foshan has set up nine special classes for investment promotion of key industries headed by municipal leaders, covering CNC machine tools, high-end equipment, instrumentation, new energy storage, medicine and health, new materials, industrial robots, modern logistics, prefabricated vegetables and other industrial fields, which has greatly improved the investment level of Foshan's strategic emerging industries.
At the same time of reshaping the investment promotion mechanism and team, Foshan has improved its project service capabilities, and launched the approval agency service around accelerating the construction and production of the project, which is directly linked by the municipal leaders and tracked to the end, and the project contact person and agency team provide full-process, personal and efficient services for the investment project.
At the same time, all departments in Foshan aim at online and offline directions, comprehensively promote grid services, and extend the face-to-face, point-to-point, one-stop refined service mechanism to all business entities in the city. Entrepreneurs go to Foshan to "benefit enterprises" and "support passes", and find policies that are as convenient as online shopping, ensuring that "cash at any time and arrive at the enterprise in full", which further optimizes Foshan's business environment and investment attractiveness.
Sculpting. Create a large platform of "Fobei" and "Double Ten".
While reshaping the organizational structure of investment promotion and optimizing the business environment, Foshan still has a difficulty to overcome in attracting investment, that is, the problem of industrial space.
For a long time, Foshan's "industry is not connected, industry is not a belt" The problem is serious. The development of many industries presents the characteristics of "dotted stars" and "scattered flowers", and "large projects cannot find a foothold" has become a prominent phenomenon, which not only restricts the development of the manufacturing industry, but also restricts investment promotion.
To this end, Foshan has carried out a round of industrial space layout. Since 2021, Foshan has actively built an efficient linkage industrial pattern of "strong core in the central region, two belts in the east and west, and two circles in the north and south" from a macro perspective, and determined the red line of industrial land of more than 450 square kilometersFrom the mesoscopic point of view, we will build the Fobeizhan New Industrial Park and the "Double Ten Park" with high standards, and strengthen the planning of industrial theme parksAt the micro level, we will implement the reform of "heroes per mu" of industrial land, standardize the construction standards of "industrial upstairs", and build a solid space support for the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
Among them, the planned area of Foshan Beizhan New Industrial Park is 518 square kilometers, and the industrial land area is more than 170 square kilometers, aiming at emerging industries such as medicine and health, high-end equipment, and new energy to attract investment, and gradually become the protagonist of Foshan's optimization of industrial spatial layout.
The top ten innovation-led characteristic manufacturing parks promote the "clustering of similar things" and the formation of a city, solve the problem of "industry is not a belt, and the industry is not connected" in Foshan, and promote the formation of an industrial development park with reasonable layout, clear positioning, outstanding characteristics and strong agglomeration.
At the same time, Foshan adheres to the "industrial transformation" to promote the transformation of village-level industrial parks, with a reserve land of more than 80 square kilometers and a dynamic reserve of no less than 170,000 acres of concentrated contiguous industrial land. In 2022, Foshan industrial land will be sold 1450,000 mu, ranking first in the province.
Foshan's path is on the right track. In the first 11 months of this year, 51 of the 86 major industrial projects signed in Foshan landed in the top ten innovation-led characteristic manufacturing parks. The total contracted investment of 52 projects in key parks is 17584.4 billion yuan, and the investment in major projects accounted for 66% of the total contracted investment85%。
These figures mean that Foshan has created more high-quality space for contiguous development for the large projects introduced in the park. The characteristics of Foshan's manufacturing industry in the park to develop and build a strong chain will also give full play to its huge advantages and form a virtuous circle.
To youth. Develop new industries and cultivate new quality productive forces.
Changing the industrial form incrementally is the core goal of Foshan's investment promotion. Today, Foshan has done it. From the Ningde Bangpu project with a total investment of 23.8 billion yuan to the Xingyuan material project with a fixed asset investment of 10 billion yuanFrom the rolling cumulative total investment of more than 10 billion yuan of the German Saiwei transmission project, to the planned investment of 16 billion yuan of FAW-Volkswagen project ......A number of high-quality industrial projects have blossomed everywhere.
The strong momentum of project investment is becoming one of the main engines of Foshan's "all-out economy", creating a larger economic aggregate. In the first 10 months of this year, the added value of Foshan's above-scale industries reached 5,1150.4 billion yuan, an increase of 64%。In the same period, Foshan's investment in fixed asset investment projects increased by 126%, of which industrial investment increased by 307%。These achievements are inseparable from the leading role of attracting investment.
On the other hand, the changes brought about by Foshan's investment promotion are not only to promote a higher economic aggregate, but also to promote the development of Foshan's manufacturing in the direction of better structure and more youthfulness, which has become Foshan's practice of exploring new industrialization to promote Chinese-style modernization.
In the process of attracting investment, Foshan regards nine major industries, including CNC machine tools, instrumentation, high-end equipment, new energy storage, new materials, industrial robots and medicine and health, modern logistics, and prefabricated vegetables, as the focus of investment promotion and industrial cultivation, and most of them are strategic emerging industries.
Foshan's investment projects are also clustered in this direction. From January to November 2023, Foshan attracted 101 strategic emerging industries, with a contracted investment of 1,9321.2 billion yuan, the contracted investment accounted for 59% of the secondary industry49%, covering new materials, new energy, new energy storage and biomedicine.
The project is getting better and better, and the industry is more high-end. Nowadays, advantageous industrial clusters such as new energy vehicles and high-end equipment manufacturing are accelerating the accumulation in Foshan, and new energy storage, robotics, medicine and health industries are sprinting to 100 billion yuan industrial clusters, accelerating the formation of new quality productivity and cultivating and developing new advantages.
Facing the future, Foshan will always adhere to the real economy-oriented, manufacturing industry, and take the realization of new industrialization as the key task of Foshan's modernization.
Heading towards the new spring, Foshan has a strong pace. According to the goal, Foshan will develop into a 100 billion yuan industrial cluster in about 10 emerging fields by 2026, and plans to achieve a total industrial output value of 4 trillion yuan by 2030.
It will be a new height, and it will also be a new Foshan.
