Jiangmen’s first 100 billion GDP strong district is born
A new starting point of 100 billion and a new start
The combination of urban and rural areas, the combination of industry and agriculture, the combination of physical labor and mental labor... At the beginning of reform and opening up, GDP was only 320 million yuan. In 1986, it exceeded 1 billion yuan for the first time. In 2001, it reached 10 billion yuan. In 2023, it was 101.125 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase in 2022. 7.2%. From "the best district" to "a benchmark for high-quality development", Jiangmen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have always placed high hopes on Xinhui, and Xinhui has lived up to expectations and become the city's first district with a GDP of 100 billion.
Reaching the 100 billion mark is expected. First, it has a solid foundation and a complete industrial system in Xinhui, covering 34 of the 41 major categories of industry. The total industrial output value exceeds 140 billion yuan; second, it has strong potential. Jiangmen's large-scale industrial agglomeration area is a new round of layout in the province. It is the largest industrial agglomeration area that can be developed contiguously on a large scale, of which the Xinhui area accounts for half of the area and has multiple professional parks.
It is not easy to reach 100 billion. With the heavy manufacturing industry across the country and the return of the manufacturing industry in the world's four major bay areas, Xinhui is facing increasingly fierce competition in hierarchical fields, especially the rush to take the lead in emerging industries. This requires both foresight and the courage to venture into the city.
On the new historical coordinate of "one point, two places", the integrated and interactive development of the east and west banks of the Pearl River Estuary has become a vivid annotation of the new stage of the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Starting from a new starting point of 100 billion yuan, how can Xinhui seize the opportunities of the "bridge economy" and integrate into the construction of the "Golden Inner Bay"? This is the new mission of the thousand-year-old county, and it is also the initiative for future development.

"Bridge" meets "Golden Inner Bay"
The two cross-sea bridges are about to historically change the traffic conditions in Xinhui.
To the east, the main line of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor has been connected. After it is completed and opened to traffic, Xinhui will "shake hands" with development platforms such as Qianhai and Nansha. It will only take about one hour to travel from Xinhui City to Shenzhen. To the south, the middle approach bridge of the Huangmao Sea Cross-sea Channel was successfully closed. The two main sea bridges of the project have achieved "hand-in-hand" at sea. After completion and opening to traffic, it will also take half an hour and 1 hour from Jiangmen Daguang Bay to Hengqin and Macau, and to Hong Kong. Hours of communication.
Xinhui accounts for two of the eight gates of the Pearl River that enter the sea. It is a typical Pearl River estuary city. The above-mentioned two bridges, one east and one south, will make Xinhui an important part of the "Golden Inner Bay" around the Pearl River Estuary in 2024. By then, Xinhui's comparative advantages such as its vast hinterland with huge potential, complete industrial base, efficient and convenient modern transportation and logistics network, and highly competitive production and living costs will be fully unleashed, and more Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area city clusters can be enjoyed. The dividends of integrated development are deeply involved in the construction of four major cooperation platforms in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Xinhui has already made arrangements to seize the "bridge economy".
In 2021, the 14th Party Congress of Xinhui District was held and proposed to actively participate in the construction of the Shenjiang Economic Cooperation Zone, jointly build a characteristic cooperation industrial park, and explore models such as "Shenzhen Headquarters + Jiangmen Base" and "Shenzhen R&D + Jiangmen Manufacturing" , to promote high-quality leap-forward development of large industrial parks.
With continued advancement, the Jiangmen City Yinhu Bay Binhai New Area Management Committee and the Xinhui District Industrial Park Management Committee have realized joint offices and integrated operations. The scope of the Shenjiang Economic Cooperation Zone and the location of the start-up area have been basically clear. Xinhui introduced Shenzhen last year There are 26 projects with an investment of nearly 10 billion yuan.
At the Sixth Plenary Session of the 14th Xinhui District Committee held on January 9, Xinhui emphasized the need to firmly seize the historical opportunity of the "bridge economy" and seize the urban area on the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary, the Shenjiang Economic Cooperation Zone, the Guangdong-Hong Kong New Important development opportunities such as the planning and construction of industrialization cooperation demonstration zones have accelerated the pace of entering the fast lane of high-quality development.
Xinhui is working hard to seize the "bridge economy".
On January 19, the Xinhui District 2024 Greater Bay Area Investment Cooperation Agency Exchange Meeting was held in Shenzhen. At the scene, Xinhui signed the "Reverse Agreement" with Shenzhen Industry-University-Research Cooperation Promotion Association, Shenzhen Machinery Industry Association, Shenzhen UAV Industry Association, Shenzhen Granda Investment Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Service Trade Association, Qianzhan Industry Research Institute, etc. "Enclave Cooperation Agreement" will explore flexible and diverse cooperation models in industrial research, park planning, investment promotion, project introduction and cultivation, etc., to further promote Shenzhen-Jiangsu cooperation to become deeper and more solid.
The "front store" builds the Shenjiang Economic Cooperation Zone, and the "back factory" builds a large platform for industrial undertakings. The in-depth cooperation between the two places in Shenzhen and Jiangsu has stirred up new waves.
Promote new industrialization
Looking back on Xinhui's road to 100 billion, it is not difficult to find that behind the 100 billion GDP is the support of the 100 billion industrial chain. Promoting the speed and quality of new industrialization development is the only way for Xinhui to enter the "post-100 billion era".
Recently, the Guangdong Provincial Government website released the "Development Plan for the Urban Area on the West Bank of the Pearl River Estuary". There are 10 contents in the plan that directly involve Xinhui, covering transportation, industry, cultural tourism, education, ecology and other aspects. Among them, the most space is related to the development of modern industries in Xinhui.
In 2023, Xinhui's 28 full-industry chain investment promotion teams "went to war" and successfully introduced 90 projects of more than 100 million yuan, with a total investment of 63 billion yuan. The number of projects, investment amount, and number of projects of more than 1 billion yuan were stable. Ranking first in the city. In addition, fixed asset investment increased by 3.3%, of which industrial investment increased by 16.1%.
Focusing on the construction of large-scale industrial clusters (Xinhui Area), Xinhui will further optimize the development layout of the park this year, taking Xinhui Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park in the north, Zhuxi Science and Technology New City in the center, and Yinhu Bay Binhai New Area in the south as strategic pivots to build three major "Ten thousand acres and hundreds of billions" industrial park.
Among them, Xinhui Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park covers Fengshan Lake Park and Daze Park, planning to build a joint expansion area, focusing on the new energy battery industry; Zhuxi Science and Technology New City covers Rail Transit Industrial Park, Jiangmu Industrial Park, and Jiangmen High-tech Zone Policy sharing and joint development, focusing on high-end equipment manufacturing, biomedicine and energy storage industries, and reserving space for the development of new energy vehicles; Silver Lake Bay Binhai New Area covers the core area and the Pearl River West New Materials Cluster Area, Guangdong-Macao (Jiangmen) Industrial Cooperation Demonstration District, Offshore Equipment Industrial Park, Kinmen Industrial Park, focusing on new materials, high-end equipment manufacturing, new generation electronic information, energy conservation and environmental protection, biomedicine and other industries.
Xinhui is an old industrial city with a solid industrial foundation. Among the top ten strategic pillar industries and the top ten strategic emerging industries listed in the "14th Five-Year Plan for High-Quality Development of Manufacturing Industry in Guangdong Province", there are many Xinhui elements - focusing on the Zhuxi New Materials Cluster Area. Focus on the development of high-end fine chemicals, new materials, new energy battery materials and other products; with the Guangdong Yinzhou Lake Paper Industry Base as the core, focus on the development of household paper, office, cultural paper, packaging paper, special paper and other products...
Standing at a new starting point of 100 billion, Xinhui accelerates the construction of a "2+2+N" modern industrial system - focusing on building two strategic emerging industries of high-end equipment manufacturing and new materials; consolidating and improving modern light industrial textiles and modern agriculture and food Major strategic pillar industries; vigorously cultivate several industrial clusters such as new energy, new generation electronic information, biomedicine and health. At the same time, we will continue to give full play to the role of the 28 investment recruitment teams, focusing on the core urban agglomerations of the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and solidly carry out precise investment promotion to strengthen and extend the chain.
Work hard to fight for the early spring, and work hard to open up a new game. Recently, Junwei Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., located in Xinhui, has passed its IPO and will be listed on the GEM of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The company is the fourth largest current sensing precision resistor company in the world and is also the first IPO company in Jiangmen in 2024. .
Develop new productive forces
Recently, the two sessions have been held intensively in various places. "New productive forces", "future industries" and "technological innovation" have become keywords in local government work reports. The signals are clear and rich in meaning - actively develop and cultivate emerging industries and future industries. Lead the comprehensive revitalization of industries with technological innovation and drive the emergence of new economic growth points.
Previously, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 14th Xinhui District Committee had proposed that we should focus on developing new productive forces, focus on using disruptive and cutting-edge technologies to spawn new industries, new models, and new drivers, and encourage leading enterprises such as China New Airlines to Achieve new breakthroughs in core technology research and development. At the same time, seize the opportunity to focus on promoting the development of emerging industries such as integrated circuits and new energy storage, and explore new tracks such as quantum technology, life sciences, and low-altitude economy.
Different from traditional productivity, new-quality productivity involves new fields and high technological content, and relying on innovation as the driving force is the key.
To create a high-energy innovation platform, Xinhui promotes the establishment of Jiangmen Dual Carbon Laboratory as a provincial laboratory and incorporates it into the "1+9+N" system of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area National Technology Innovation Center, giving full play to the role of two funds to accelerate the construction of "dual carbon laboratory" Laboratory + Dual Carbon Industrial Park" a new development model integrating government, industry, academia, research and application.
To build a high-efficiency innovation ecosystem, Xinhui has made good use of the "Ten Technological Innovation Guidelines", deepened the construction of the entire process innovation chain, vigorously cultivated technology-based enterprises, and achieved a stock of 558 high-tech enterprises and 626 technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, we will accelerate the establishment of a provincial manufacturing technology innovation center and build a public laboratory platform and an industrial scientific research core area.
Recently, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology announced the evaluation results of the 2023 "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Joint Laboratory" project. The "Guangdong-Hong Kong Carbon Neutral Science" project was jointly applied by the Jiangmen Dual Carbon Laboratory and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). The "Joint Laboratory with Technology" project was successfully approved.
The "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Joint Laboratory" is the highest-level Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao cooperative scientific research platform approved by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology. The Jiangmen Dual Carbon Laboratory was approved as the Guangdong-Hong Kong Carbon Neutral Science and Technology Joint Laboratory, which is of great significance to combining the superior resources of the three parties, breaking through the "bottleneck" of key technologies in the "dual carbon" field, and cultivating high-end "dual carbon" talents.
It is foreseeable that relying on the above-mentioned high-level innovation platform, the new society will continue to play an increment role in scientific and technological innovation, increase source technology reserves, actively cultivate future industries, accelerate the formation of new qualitative productivity, and promote economic and social development from quantitative changes to qualitative changes. Achieve new breakthroughs.
Experts talk
Zhou Yuyi, executive director of the Bay Area Economic and Industrial Planning Institute of China (Shenzhen) Comprehensive Development Research Institute:
"Five Major Changes" Help Xinhui in Shenzhen Cooperation
Continue to play a leading and exemplary role
As an important promoter, leader and beneficiary of Shenzhen-River cooperation, the vigorous development of Xinhui's economy is inseparable from the continued deepening and upgrading of Shenzhen-River cooperation. To this end, it is necessary for Xinhui to plan in advance and take the initiative to accelerate the promotion of the "five major changes", strive to continue to play a leading and exemplary role in high-quality cooperation in the Shenzhen River, strive for innovative advantages and cultivate new momentum in the integrated development of the east and west sides of the Greater Bay Area, Lay the foundation for the next 100 billion breakthrough.
The first is to accelerate the transformation of development advantages from factor attraction to "park operation + ecological creation". In recent years, Xinhui has become a bridgehead for Shenzhen-Shenzhen cooperation and the transfer of industries from core cities in the Greater Bay Area by virtue of its superior location and transportation conditions and abundant land resources. It has taken the lead in enjoying the dividends of the integrated development of the east and west sides of the Pearl River Estuary, and has achieved rapid economic development. . However, with the change of development stage, the traditional advantages of location, transportation and factor resources will gradually be leveled. To this end, Xinhui needs to seize the current window of opportunity and take the lead in promoting the focus of Shenjiang cooperation from the front-end investment promotion link to the back-end links such as park operation and industrial ecological creation, and accelerate the formation of a system that covers the entire chain of industrial development and the entire life of enterprise development. The new advantages of comprehensive services of the cycle ensure that the industry can be transferred, implemented and grow well.
The second is to accelerate the transformation of industrial connection from manufacturing priority to "advanced manufacturing + modern services". Xinhui is a municipal district of Jiangmen. It is a strategic support area for the southern expansion of Jiangmen's central urban area and supports the high-quality development of the city's new urbanization and new industrialization in the "second half". It is responsible for creating an important growth pole for Jiangmen and jointly building the urban area on the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary. , to integrate into the major mission of the "Golden Inner Bay" of the Greater Bay Area, we must vigorously develop advanced manufacturing while orderly promoting the layout of the producer service industry and the daily service industry, and strive to achieve the coordinated development of "industry, city, people, and culture" , resolutely avoid taking the traditional path of "large industrial zone" development and separation of industry and city.
The third is to accelerate the transformation of the investment promotion model from government-led to "policy first + government-enterprise linkage". As a major economic zone in Jiangmen, it is necessary for Xinhui to actively explore and establish more attractive and competitive industries around major industrial platforms and key industrial chains such as Silver Lake Bay Binhai New Area and Shenjiang Economic Cooperation Zone on the basis of municipal investment policies. With the investment policy system of “one park, one policy, one industry, one enterprise, one policy”, we strive to innovate and explore in new models such as “business-attracting” and “investment partners”, striving to innovate investment policies and work We are at the forefront of the city in the entire process of investment promotion, including development and implementation of investment results, helping Xinhui's high-quality economic development reach a new level.
The fourth is to accelerate the transformation of undertaking areas from key platforms to "platform leadership + global collaboration". Xinhui has many heavyweight industrial platforms and is the leading area and first choice for undertaking the transfer of industries from core cities in the Greater Bay Area. To reach a new level of 100 billion, Xinhui needs to put "urban-rural integration and all-region collaboration" in a more prominent position in high-quality development, give full play to the leading, demonstration, and driving role of the industrial platform, accelerate urban-rural integration, and integrate districts, towns, and parks. Strive to achieve new leaps and bounds in building a demonstration center for urban-rural integrated development in the Greater Bay Area and promoting high-quality coordinated development across the region.
The fifth is to accelerate the transformation of the flow of factors from one-way tilt to "two-way flow + mutual benefit and win-win". With the rapid iterative upgrading of the industry, Xinhui's need for the concentrated development of high-end factors has become increasingly urgent. To this end, Xinhui must firmly seize the major opportunities arising from the construction or opening of a number of strategic transportation infrastructures such as the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor and the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity, and make full use of the convenience of being integrated into the "one-hour transportation circle" of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Government and enterprises collaborate to explore and take the lead in building a "reverse enclave" in Shenzhen to promote the gathering of high-end element resources such as talents, technology, and platforms in different places, and accelerate the formation of two-way flow of elements through technical mechanisms such as "cloud big things move intelligence" and "weekend engineers" , a new pattern of joint development of mutual benefit and win-win between the two cities.
Yang Yongcong, deputy director of the Key Laboratory of Greater Bay Area Construction and Regional Coordinated Development at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies:
Shenjiang Cooperation injects new momentum into Xinhui’s talent “magnetic field”
Looking at the top 100 high-quality development districts in the country and the districts with a GDP exceeding 100 billion, the top-ranked Nanshan District of Shenzhen, Huangpu District of Guangzhou, Nanhai District of Foshan, etc., without exception, are both strategic pillar industries and strategic emerging industries. The gathering heights are also the gathering heights for industrial talents. In terms of the general laws of economic development, for a region to achieve endogenous growth and connotative development, the agglomeration of human capital and the resulting innovation and entrepreneurial vitality are essential. To this end, using Shenzhen-Jiangang Cooperation as a starting point to promote the gathering of human resources is the only way for Xinhui to achieve high-quality development.
Centering on Shenjiang cooperation, Xinhui has many favorable conditions in creating a "magnetic field" for talents.
First of all, the construction of new cross-sea corridors such as the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor has shortened the time and space distance between Xinhui and major development platforms in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area such as Shenzhen Qianhai, providing more convenient infrastructure support for the flow of talents to Xinhui. Secondly, Xinhui and Shenzhen have strong compatibility in terms of industrial collaboration, and have initially formed a modern industrial system dominated by shipbuilding and offshore engineering equipment, new energy batteries, and new generation information technology, providing a platform for the introduction and cultivation of professional and technical talents. The team provides solid industrial support. Thirdly, the Shenjiang Economic Cooperation Zone, which is planned and constructed at a high level in the Yinhu Bay Binhai New Area, is expected to become a model of high-quality development in Xinhui. The resulting industrial agglomeration effect and institutional innovation effect will provide a broader space for talent development. Finally, Xinhui not only has a relatively superior natural environment, but also actively learns from Shenzhen in terms of serving talents and cultivating talents. This also creates a more livable, working and traveling environment for all kinds of talents to take root and develop in Xinhui. .
Objectively speaking, although Xinhui has many favorable conditions for talent agglomeration and development, there are still shortcomings, mainly manifested in insufficient support for high-level talents, the talent supply structure is out of touch with industrial development needs, and the scale effect of talent agglomeration needs to be Promotion etc. In this regard, Xinhui can fully base itself on Shenjiang cooperation and continue to make efforts in creating a talent "magnetic field" to create a more favorable environment for the convergence and development of talent elements in Xinhui:
The first is to accelerate industrial cooperation with Shenzhen. Guided by strengthening, replenishing, extending and stabilizing the chain, we will focus on expanding and strengthening industrial clusters such as high-end equipment manufacturing, new materials, and new generation electronic information by accelerating the construction of key industry collaboration platforms such as the Shenjiang Economic Cooperation Zone. Industrial talent resources gather in Xinhui and provide strong support to create economies of scale.
The second is to strengthen institutional linkage with Shenzhen’s talent pool. On the basis of establishing a closer industrial cooperation relationship with Shenzhen, we can further integrate Shenzhen's high-level universities and high-precision enterprises through co-building and sharing talent pools, strengthening school-region-school-enterprise cooperation, and cross-regional transfer and connection of talent supporting policies. The introduction of new talent resources will create favorable conditions.
The third is to increase efforts to benchmark and optimize the business environment. Taking the Shenzhen Cooperation as an opportunity, we will actively benchmark Shenzhen's business environment, vigorously carry out work to improve the business environment, and promote Xinhui to achieve institutional openness with high standards. By expanding the space for industrial development and reducing institutional transaction costs, we will create a more superior business environment for all types of talents to innovate and start businesses in Xinhui.
The fourth is to accurately recruit high-level talent teams. Compile a catalog of talents in short supply in Xinhui, and adopt methods such as "unveiling the list and taking charge", establishing high-level talent workstations and joint R&D innovation centers, and going to Shenzhen to carry out flexible talent introduction work to achieve precise recruitment of high-level talent teams and provide support for the Xinhui industrial cluster. Provide intellectual support for high-quality development.
The fifth is to step up efforts to improve urban quality and supporting facilities. Seize the opportunities for the construction of major transportation infrastructure such as the Western Zhuhai Comprehensive Transportation Hub (Jiangmen Station) and the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor, and vigorously promote the Xinhui Hub New City and other areas on the basis of deeply integrating into the "1-hour living circle" of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Construction and development will create a high-quality "urban reception room" to provide a more comfortable living environment for talents to take root and develop in Xinhui.
