The introduction of BYD and other "chain master" enterprises has attracted a number of major upstream and downstream projects in the new energy industry chain to land, and the battery manufacturing industry has become the biggest driving force for industrial growth; Huaxin Zhenbang integrated circuit wafer-level packaging and testing and integration innovative industrial base project was completed and put into operation, realizing the whole process ...... from wafer bumping manufacturing, wafer testing to packagingSeeking change from "new" has become the key word for Nanning to run on the track of high-quality development.
In 2023, the growth rate of industrial added value above designated size in the city will be higher than the average level of the whole country, the western region and the whole region, and the contribution rate of industry to GDP growth will reach 23%, a new high in the past six years. The added value of Nanning's high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 34 percent year-on-year9%, an increase of 28 percentage points over the previous year......The dazzling data of "high" and "fast" are exciting, and behind them are changes in structural texture: emerging industries such as new energy, new energy vehicles and parts, and semiconductors continue to supplement and strengthen the chain of agglomeration and development.
Seizing new opportunities and laying out new tracks, Nanning takes "new" as the path to cultivate and expand emerging industries, promote the convergence of new growth points, promote power reform with "lane change and overtaking", accelerate the cultivation of new quality productivity, and provide a steady stream of endogenous power for the high-quality development of the capital.
"One battery" and "chain" out of 100 billion yuan industrial cluster
On the morning of February 24, the reporter saw in BYD Nanning Qingxiu Park that forklifts were working back and forth, loading and unloading raw materials and finished products, and the finished energy storage batteries just produced in the workshop were placed in the factory area, waiting to be loaded and shipped to all parts of the country. "The Qingxiu project is one of the major energy storage production bases in China that we have built closely around the key direction of Nanning's new energy industry layout. Relying on the group's advanced and mature battery R&D and manufacturing technology and strong innovation capabilities, the project provides safe and reliable energy storage system solutions. Liu Siwan, general manager of BYD Nanning Qingxiu Park, introduced.

At present, three battery projects located in Qingxiu District, Guangxi-ASEAN Economic Development Zone, and Yongning District have been put into operation, with more than 30 production lines in operation, and the cumulative number of local employment has exceeded 250,000 people.
In April 2023, BYD signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with the Nanning Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the Nanning Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, the Municipal Education Bureau, and 10 vocational colleges to jointly build the "Government-School-Enterprise Cooperation Alliance" to jointly promote industrial revitalization and the integrated development of industry and education through curriculum development, talent training, and joint construction of training bases. At present, this model has driven more than 1,400 college graduates from the local alliance to intern and become employed. Among them, Nanning Vocational and Technical College has trained more than 150 students to join BYD, and nearly 10 people have been hired for overseas positions to help BYD's new energy industry development and precise training of skilled talents.
Driven by the radiation of BYD and other "chain master" enterprises, "a battery" has accelerated the beads into a chain, and the "circle of friends" has become larger and larger, attracting a number of key supporting enterprises such as Chenyu, Longdian Huaxin, and Anda, driving the coordinated development of upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain. In 2023, the output value of the city's new energy battery industry will exceed 20 billion yuan, contributing 120 percent to the growth of industrial added value above the designated size6%, becoming the biggest driving force for the city's industrial growth.
Today, Nanning's new energy industry has formed a whole industrial chain including battery cathode and anode materials, aluminum and copper foil current collectors, etc., with a planned battery production capacity of more than 100GWh and more than 70GWh in production, making it the city with the largest battery production capacity in Guangxi. Chen Shile, deputy chief of the Machinery and Equipment Section of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, told reporters that in the future, it will accelerate the construction of 100 billion yuan industrial clusters, cultivate and expand new quality productivity, and focus on building an important national new energy battery and material industry base.
Move towards the "new" to fill the gap in the field of semiconductor storage in Guangxi
The production lines are running at high speed, and in the hundreds of meters of assembly lines, technicians, engineers, and quality inspectors perform their respective duties to carry out their own work - in the workshop of Nanning Tektronix Semiconductor, the hot production scene is exciting. The memory products being produced here cover three categories: enterprise-grade, industrial-grade, and consumer-grade. "At the beginning of the year, we received a lot of orders, and the production line started on February 18, and the current resumption rate is more than ninety. Li Qiang, assistant general manager of the company, said.
As a joint venture established by Shenzhen Jintaike Semiconductor Co., Ltd. and Nanning Industrial Investment Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Nanning Industrial Investment Group"), Nanning Tektronix has completed the construction of 3 production lines, realizing that Nanning's local product line covers memory products and mobile storage products; The new enterprise-class DDR5 memory series products were released, becoming the only enterprise in Guangxi that can achieve large-scale mass production of enterprise-level DDR5 products, filling the gap in the field of the latest generation of semiconductor storage in Guangxi.
Behind the breakthrough, it is thanks to the new kinetic energy accumulated by Nanning Tektronix to increase R&D and innovation. In 2023, the company will invest more than 40 million yuan in R&D to continuously improve its core capabilities in scientific and technological innovation. "If you master the core technology, you will have confidence. We are actively accelerating the construction of the second and third phases of the project, accelerating the realization of the industrial chain layout from storage to the whole machine, from the whole machine to the integration, and moving steadily towards the goal of building a new benchmark for the semiconductor storage product industry in Nanning. Li Qiang introduced.

The "new" direction is to implement a new round of three-year action for industrial revitalization
In recent years, Nanning has deeply implemented the strategy of "strong industrial city", accelerated the expansion of the real economy with industry as the focus, focused on building an industrial development pattern of "one body and two wings", seized the "new track" of the development of the new energy automobile industry, and took an important step in the optimization and adjustment of the industrial structure, forming a new economic cycle of "industry-scientific and technological innovation-finance", and the industry has become a new engine and new support for the economic growth of the capital, and has embarked on a new path of industrialization with the characteristics of the capital.
Speed up and improve the quality of project construction. From 2021 to 2023, the total industrial investment ranked first in the district for three consecutive years, accounting for 29 percent of the city's fixed asset investment in 20233%, an increase for 4 consecutive years.
The effect of industrial agglomeration has been improved. Since 2021, 600 industrial projects of more than 50 million yuan have been signed, and a number of 10-billion-level projects such as BYD and Sun Paper have been introduced.
A breakthrough has been made in the development pattern. With Wuxiang New Area as the main body and the Eastern New City and "Two Ports and One District" as the two wings, the industrial development pattern of "one body and two wings" is taking shape at an accelerated pace.
The future is here. From the development and expansion of emerging industries such as new energy, electronic information, and new materials, to the upgrading of traditional industries such as aluminum, food, and forest products with "intelligent transformation and digital transformation", and then to the forward-looking layout of future industries such as artificial intelligence and low-altitude economy, this is Nanning's "new" direction.
Nanning will vigorously implement a new round of three-year action for industrial revitalization, aiming at these 'new' directions, and strive to build pillar industries with a larger scale and strong driving force, build a modern industrial system with advanced manufacturing as the backbone, and form a new quality of productivity. In the view of Wu Baomin, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, the whole city is gathering a strong joint force to promote new industrialization, sprint to higher peaks, sail towards the farther blue ocean, go to the "new", and break through upward, so as to provide stronger support for Nanning to accelerate the construction of an international metropolis open to ASEAN and open cooperation for ASEAN, and the China-ASEAN cross-border industrial integration and development cooperation zone.
