On December 6, the 2023 Dongguan Global Investment Conference with the theme of "Thousands of Dongguan Chains to the World" was successfully held. A total of 359 industrial projects were signed at the conference, with a total investment of 218 billion yuan, covering the new generation of information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing, new energy, digital economy and other fields.
In fact, from the perspective of the "shape" and "potential" of Dongguan's investment promotion in recent years, it is not difficult to find that Dongguan's investment promotion has always been "new". At the beginning of this year, the Dongguan Municipal Party Committee held a high-level mobilization meeting for investment promotion in the city, put forward the work deployment of the "investment year", focused on building a large investment pattern, and took the attraction and cultivation of strategic emerging industries and future industries as an important starting point for accelerating the formation of new quality productivity, and laid out in advance on the main position of generating and developing new quality productivity. At the Dongguan Global Investment Conference, the total amount of industrial projects signed in Dongguan exceeded 200 billion yuan, and the answer sheet was brilliant.
The project is "new", and the industry is "quality". From January to November this year, the city's investment in the introduction of strategic emerging industries and pillar industries exceeded 100 billion yuan, an increase of 99%。Among them, the investment in semiconductors, integrated circuits, and new materials increased respectively. 9%, maintaining a rapid growth momentum. With the signing, construction and commissioning of a large number of strategic emerging industries and future industrial projects, on the one hand, Dongguan's new quality productivity has been acceleratedOn the other hand, it also promotes the economic and social development of the towns, streets, communities (villages) where the project is located, and serves the overall situation of the construction of the province's "Millions of Projects".
The new subject opens up a new situation.
In September this year, under the vigorous promotion of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, Dongguan and CATL signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement, pointing out the direction for the next in-depth cooperation in the fields of renewable energy and energy storage, new energy vehicle battery swap promotion, and new energy industry chain development in the "1+N" model. Among them, the new energy storage module PACK project with an annual output value of 13 billion yuan will be signed as the first industrial project under the framework agreement.
The cooperation with CATL is a wonderful "microcosm" of Dongguan's vigorous attraction of new energy projects in recent years. According to the data, since 2020, Dongguan has introduced a total of 49 new energy industry projects with more than 100 million yuan, with an agreed investment of 389600 million yuan. It has successfully introduced a number of new energy industry projects with an investment of more than 1 billion yuan, such as BYD Motor Electronic Control with an investment of 6.5 billion yuan, Ganfeng Lithium Battery with an investment of 5 billion yuan, Fuqiang Electronics with an investment of 3 billion yuan, and Boliwei with an investment of 3 billion yuan.
For example, in the third quarter of this year, the groundbreaking ceremony of major projects was held at the construction site of Ganfeng Lithium (Dongguan) Technology Co., Ltd., a new lithium battery and energy storage base with an annual output of 10GWh, located in Macong Town.
The project investor is Dongguan Ganfeng Electronics, which is currently one of the lithium battery manufacturers with the richest product categories and the most extensive application scenarios in China, and is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Technology Co., Ltd., a well-known lithium ecological enterprise. The total investment of the project is 5 billion yuan, and the land area is about 3255 acres, mainly R & D and production of lithium iron phosphate, semi-solid batteries, light power batteries, etc., planning to produce 10GWh new energy storage, light power batteries and other new energy products, the annual output value is expected to reach 11 billion yuan.
We will build the 'Ganfeng Lithium Energy Storage Sector Headquarters', Ganfeng New Energy Storage Battery R&D Center and Production Base in Dongguan, and at the same time become the display window and marketing service center of Ganfeng Lithium for overseas marketing. Ge Zhimin, chairman of Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Technology Co., Ltd., said.
The construction project of auto parts R&D and production base invested by Guangdong Zhengyang Sensing Technology Co., Ltd. with an investment of 1 billion yuan will manufacture and sell vehicle controllers, thermal management system products and automotive wiring harnessesWith an investment of 6.5 billion yuan and an annual output value of about 17 billion yuan, BYD's Dongguan project has started construction in Xie Gang Town and is expected to be completed in 2024, focusing on R&D, design, and manufacturing of new energy vehicle engines. It can be said that through the efforts in the attraction of new energy projects in recent years, Dongguan has initially completed the innovation and upgrading, reconstruction and reengineering of the industrial chain, and developed the hydrogen fuel cell, lithium battery and other industrial chains at the energy storage end, and many chains such as new energy vehicles, light vehicles and "three electrics" industrial chain at the application end, and the new energy industry has developed rapidly.
In terms of future industries, in September this year, the first propeller aircraft manufactured by Chaoran Aviation Technology (Dongguan)** successfully rolled off the assembly line. This marks that Dongguan has achieved a major breakthrough in the fixed-wing aircraft of the general aviation industry from "0" to "1", injecting surging impetus into accelerating high-quality development.
In recent years, Dongguan has accelerated the layout of the general aviation industry, attracting high-quality projects in the fields of aircraft interiors, precision components, and complete machine manufacturing. In the field of machine manufacturing, in June this year, Dongguan Xie Gang general aviation manufacturing and the first chain project started, through the introduction of foreign mature and advanced ultra-light high-end general aircraft intellectual property rights and manufacturing rights, quickly realized the domestic landing of high-end general aviation aircraft production, manufacturing, parts processing and a series of general aviation industries, filling the gap in Dongguan in the field of high-end general aviation production, driving the high-end equipment manufacturing industry to accelerate the development of aggregation.
Yesterday's investments are paying off. According to the data released by the Dongguan statistics department, with the continuous empowerment of scientific and technological innovation, the new pillar industries represented by new materials, new energy storage, integrated circuits, etc., have shown strong momentum. From the perspective of product output, the output of charging piles, optical fibers, displays, integrated circuits and other products increased respectively. 0%。
In terms of investment, in the first three quarters, the growth rate of investment in Dongguan's high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 7 percentage points over the first half of the year, of which the aerospace and equipment manufacturing industry increased by 2202%, and the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry increased by 1088%, and the manufacturing of medical equipment and instrumentation increased by 400%。
It can be said that Dongguan has attracted more and more high-quality enterprises with international advanced technology to participate in strengthening the chain, supplementing the chain and extending the chain, forging the long board of innovation chain, industrial chain and value chain through investment promotion. The addition of these new subjects has allowed Dongguan to accelerate the formation of new quality productivity through "chain" innovation and integration, and has created a new industrial situation.
New investment fosters new advantages.
According to the organizers, the 2023 Dongguan Global Investment Conference has attracted about 1,000 important guests and business representatives from the world's top 500, China's top 500, industry leading enterprises, listed companies, specialized and special new enterprises, well-known investment consulting institutions, etc., and is the largest global investment conference with the largest number of participants and the highest degree of internationalization in Dongguan in the past five years.
The entrepreneurs who came to the meeting expressed their optimism about Dongguan and will increase their investment in Dongguan.
Chen Wei, chairman of Oriental Fuhai, said: Dongguan is actually one of the good carriers for the high-quality development of entrepreneurship, innovation and venture capital in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and also has good opportunities.
The core logic of the era of science and technology innovation is to let the smartest people start a business and drive the money to the road of entrepreneurship. It is believed that with the establishment of the 200 billion ** system, Dongguan will have a great future on the stage of the era of science and technology. Chen Wei said.
At the 2023 Dongguan Global Investment Conference, Dongguan also held a launching ceremony for high-quality development of 200 billion yuan, and officially released six major groups: first, focus on project introduction, launch a special project of 8 billion yuan for investment promotion, and give rewards and subsidies for all elements such as project landing, equipment, rent, and talents. The second is to focus on the seed stage of enterprises, and launch the industrial transformation and development of a target scale of 30 billion yuan, as long as the advanced manufacturing industry is in line with the development direction of Dongguan's industry, especially the seed stage and angel stage projects with obvious innovation attributes, they can be empowered by the industrialization of major key technologies of enterprises. The third is to focus on the start-up period of enterprises and launch 20 billion yuan of innovation and entrepreneurship**, mainly for start-up technology enterprises in high-tech fields, focusing on ensuring the landing demands of enterprises. Fourth, focus on the growth period of enterprises, launch 40 billion yuan of production and investment, focus on supporting local enterprises to increase capital and expand production, as well as industry leaders, listed companies private placement mergers and acquisitions. Fifth, focus on the maturity period of the enterprise, launch a 30 billion yuan of new guidance, and focus on supporting the construction of the new base project through the establishment of "one industry and one first". Sixth, focus on project bearing, launch 80 billion yuan of urban development, focus on urban renewal, industrial park development and operation and other fields, actively introduce social capital to participate in the creation of high-quality, low-cost industrial space carriers, and develop a number of high-end, intelligent and green modern industrial parks.
On the morning of December 7, Dongguan held a summit forum on the high-quality development of state-owned enterprises, inviting a number of domestic leading institutions such as CITIC**, CGN**, China Southern Airlines Capital, Shenwan Hongyuan, and Oriza High Hope to participate in the meeting, conveying Dongguan's confidence and determination to fully support the development of the industry to investors.
Since the beginning of this year, the Dongguan Municipal Party Committee has made overall plans to integrate and optimize the existing stock, expand and improve the quality, and established the largest high-quality development system of 200 billion yuan since the establishment of the city, covering the whole life cycle development needs of the seed stage, start-up stage, growth period and maturity period of the enterprise. Different rounds of investment in the mature stage provide enterprises with all-round support and services in line with their development stage, hoping to cultivate new advantages through new investment.
As early as 2021, Dongcai Holdings and Dongguan Financial Holding Co., Ltd. jointly invested 10 billion yuan to set up Dongguan Strategic Emerging Industries Guidance. The goal is to leverage more than 50 billion yuan of funds to invest in strategic emerging industries and industries through investment-loan linkage and joint investment, mainly investing in strategic emerging industries, advanced manufacturing and high-tech industries such as new generation information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing, new materials, new energy, biomedicine, integrated circuits and digital economy supported and encouraged by the state, Guangdong Province and Dongguan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.
From supporting a single guide, to now developing a group, Dongguan's investment promotion has shown a trend of "matrix" development. In addition to being more focused on production and investment, the industrial system plans to build a matrix of "first-class clusters": the establishment of angel, entrepreneurship, industry and other industrial clusters, covering the development needs of the whole life cycle of enterprises, the implementation of different rounds of investment, to provide financial support for the project in line with its development stage, in order to promote Dongguan's industrial chain, expand the chain, supplement the chain, and extend the chain. It helps to better form new qualitative productivity.
In addition to the guidance of the first class, more important is the investment of the enterprise. In recent years, through investment promotion, industry giants have "increased" investment in strategic emerging industries and future industries in Dongguan.
Taking new energy as an example, in the first three quarters of this year, Dongguan promoted a total of 85 major new energy industrial projects, covering core components of new energy vehicles, new energy intelligent equipment, new energy materials, new energy storage, hydrogen energy and other subdivisions, with a total investment of 619$1.4 billion. New energy has become a key track for the transformation and upgrading of this manufacturing city. At present, Dongguan has formed a good foundation in consumer batteries, hydrogen energy, and automotive electronics, with an industrial scale of more than 100 billion yuan. In terms of lithium batteries, it has more than 1,300 upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, and the output value of the consumer electronics lithium battery industry ranks second in the country.
In terms of new materials, relying on strategic scientific research platforms such as China Spallation Neutron Source and Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory to play the role of "locomotive", Dongguan has successively introduced high-quality enterprises such as Anmei Technology and Haili Group in recent years. The development of new energy and other industries provides "strong support".
In terms of the integrated circuit industry, Dongguan's semiconductor and integrated circuit industry cluster will achieve an operating income of 50.2 billion yuan in 2022. It can be said that Dongguan has formed a relatively complete semiconductor and integrated circuit industry chain, featuring the third generation of semiconductors, covering the industrial layout of equipment, raw materials and applications, and gathering 1,370 related enterprises. Among them, there are backbone enterprises such as memory storage, Nexperia, and Unitest Utech in the field of packaging and testing, high-growth enterprises such as Saiwei Microelectronics, Hetai Semiconductor, and Dapu Letters in the design field, leading enterprises in the industry such as Tianyu Semiconductor and Zhonggallium Semiconductor in the field of materials, and Kaige Precision Machinery, Huayue Semiconductor, and Pleas in the field of equipment and parts. A group of "first-class champions" engaged in the integrated circuit industry are emerging day by day.
In recent years, Dongguan has successively introduced and promoted projects such as Everbright Third-Generation Semiconductor, Tianyu Semiconductor, Zhongtu Semiconductor, Nexperia Phase II, and Liance Youte Capital Increase and Production Expansion to accelerate the construction of the project. The industrial advantages are expected to be further consolidated.
The first phase is expected to start production in April 2024, when the production capacity will be increased from the current 400,000 pieces per year to 800,000 pieces, which is expected to further increase the market share in China and the world.
Li Xiguang, chairman of Tianyu Semiconductor, said that in the growth process of Tianyu Semiconductor, he deeply realized that Dongguan is a real investment paradise and a source of wealth, and it is also a blessed land and treasure land for the majority of innovative entrepreneurs to achieve their dreams. In the future, we will make every effort to promote the process of project construction and production, accelerate the industrialization of the project, further increase R&D investment, and continue to open up development space.
Today's investment is tomorrow's output, with the acceleration of investment in the main position of generating and developing new quality productivity, Dongguan's industrial advantages are more obvious, and the formation of new quality productivity has also entered the "fast lane".
New guarantees open up new space.
In addition to investment, industrial space is one of the most important elements for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and the creation of new quality productivity.
Although Dongguan currently has 400 million square meters of industrial space, the contradiction between the scarcity of new space and inefficient scattered space resources has affected the landing of high-quality enterprises and major projects to a certain extent. Therefore, to increase the contiguous industrial space and low-cost space, and to provide land element support for major projects and leading projects, it will greatly affect the promotion of Dongguan's "big investment" work.
How can we move from "project etc" to "land etc."?Dongguan's approach is to devote the city's efforts to vigorously prepare land space around standardized industrial areas. Dongguan has always regarded "expanding space" as a "key move" to promote high-quality economic development. Since the "expansion of space" in 2019, a total of 550,000 acres, of which more than 2 are industrial land90,000 acres, 60,000 acres of stock land will be revitalized, and 2 industrial spaces will be improved70,000 acres, the three-year action of "industrial transformation" was successfully completed, and a total of 3 were demolished and prepared30,000 acres, carrying a large number of major and high-quality projects in Dongguan.
For example, as early as 2021, Dongguan planned and built the first batch of seven strategic emerging industrial bases, namely: Songshan Lake Biomedical Industry Base, Eastern Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Base, Dongguan New Material Industry Base, Dongguan Digital Economy Industrial Base, Dongguan New Energy Industry Base, Linshen New Generation Electronic Information Industry Base, and Silver Bottle High-end Equipment Industrial Base. Dongguan will prepare 130,000 acres of contiguous industrial land provides sufficient land element guarantee for the development of strategic emerging industries such as digital economy and biomedicine.
The 45 pieces of industrial land with a total area of 12,000 acres launched at the global investment conference, most of which are located in standardized industrial areas, strategic emerging industrial bases, and modern industrial parks, have been basically ready for preliminary procedures, and the fast ones can be supplied immediately, and the slow ones can be supplied in 3 to 6 months.
It is understood that 10 of the 45 cases of land are single large plots of more than 500 acres, and the area of these 10 cases alone is close to 8,000 acres. For example, 1,233 acres of Shatian Xiaozhou Island, 840 acres of Houjie Houshan, 808 acres of Daojiao Changping, 792 acres of Liaobu Xiangshan, 783 acres of Changping TOD Station, etc., are all large and good plots of contiguous land. On December 7, Dongguan held a "Space to Dongguan" 10,000 acres of industrial land supply and demand docking meeting at Dongcheng International Hotel, which will focus on displaying the 12,000 acres of key land plots and high-quality space resources on the list, and organize face-to-face in-depth docking of interested enterprises.
From "projects and other places" to "local projects", the enterprise has run out of "acceleration". According to the data, from January to November this year, Dongguan promoted 111 major industrial projects to complete land transfers, 16 projects were delisted and started, and 35 were signed and landed in the same year.
In addition to standardized industrial space, Dongguan is also actively expanding the overall supply of low-cost space, encouraging towns and streets (parks) to use the "three old" land, idle land, new land, etc. to build a number of industrial resettlement houses, and create no less than 10 million square meters of high-quality and low-cost industrial space in 2023.
In terms of optimal stock, Dongguan has a large number of town and village industrial parks as inefficient space, which is another important option to expand industrial space. Dongguan will promote the renovation and transformation of town and village industrial parks, and start the upgrading and transformation of no less than 10 parks in 2023. Each town street (park) plans at least one "industrial transformation" area of more than 500 acres.
In addition, Dongguan will implement the reform of "heroes per mu", explore the implementation of the "per mu benefit" leader action plan, and use differentiated financial special fund funding policies to provide sufficient space for the creation of new quality productivity.
The listed plots have expanded from the new base of the Seven Wars to more than 20 towns and streets in the city, which also reflects that Dongguan's spatial planning ideas have shifted from incremental construction to equal emphasis on optimizing stock and expanding increments. Dongguan provides sufficient carrying space for the new quality productivity through the overall allocation of the spatial resource elements of the whole town and village, and also becomes the confidence and confidence of the new quality productivity to "come to Dongguan", which means that the new quality productivity will take root and grow in a wider range of Dongguan, and will also better serve the overall situation of the province's "Millions of Projects".
