On March 16th, the Standing Committee of the District Committee conducted a collective investigation of the development zone, demanding that it further play its role as the main battlefield and main engine, and act as the vanguard for the high-quality development of the entire district. During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, the average annual growth rate of the total industrial output value of the development zone should reach over 7.1%, and the investment company should maintain an average annual growth rate of double digits… Once the goals are set, the key lies in their implementation. The development zone promptly conveyed the spirit of the collective investigation of the development zone by the Standing Committee of the District Committee and made arrangements for the implementation.
Xu Riji, the deputy district head and the Party secretary of the development zone, stated that they will firmly aim for the goal of becoming a national-level development zone, closely focusing on the tasks of building a 100-billion-yuan industrial park and a 100-billion-yuan new energy vehicle industry (intelligent driving). They will focus on projects and strengthen industries, striving to achieve a “breakthrough start” in development during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, and taking on the responsibility and making contributions to the high-quality development of the entire district’s economy and society.
01 Attracting Investment: From “Widely Casting the Net” to “Precise Fishing”
Taking on the responsibility of being the “vanguard”, the key lies in the industry and the means lies in the projects. Based on the new starting point of the “15th Five-Year Plan” development, the development zone has clarified its future development path.
“In the past, it was ‘do whatever is needed’; now it’s ‘fill the gaps with what is lacking’.” Yu Yunyue, the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau of the Development Zone, explained that focusing on leading industries such as new energy vehicles, intelligent manufacturing equipment, new pharmaceuticals and life health, the development zone is implementing the “attracting major, strong and leading enterprises” initiative, concentrating efforts on precise actions at key links of the industrial chain.
The development zone will further refine the development directions of industries, closely focusing on the window period for the industrialization of solid-state batteries, and concentrating on laying out key links such as the preparation of core materials in the upstream, the manufacturing and packaging of cells in the middle, and the system integration in the downstream. “We are currently negotiating 13 projects with a total investment of over 1 billion yuan, including high-energy solid-state batteries and new material lithium-ion battery separators. We aim to seize the initiative in the field of solid-state batteries,” Yu Yunyue said.
This year, the development zone plans to hold more than 3 influential investment promotion and introduction events. It aims to sign 60 projects with a total investment of over 100 million yuan, with a total investment amount exceeding 30 billion yuan. Among them, there will be 1 project with a total investment of over 5 billion yuan, 2 projects with a total investment of over 3 billion yuan, and 8 projects with a total investment of over 1 billion yuan. In terms of foreign investment, a special task force will be established to focus on attracting projects from countries like Germany and other European and American countries. The goal is to attract more than 3 foreign investment projects throughout the year.
Project Progress: From “Starting Construction” to “Promoting Production”
Major projects serve as the “ballast stone” for stabilizing economic growth and the “power engine” for promoting high-quality development. The development zone has established a full-chain project promotion mechanism based on “four libraries and five rates”, accelerating the construction of 27 major projects of provincial and municipal significance including Zuiwei, Changsheng Optical Film, Skyworth Intelligent Washing and Drying, and BYD Phase II, aiming to have all these projects commence construction by the first half of the year and complete and go into operation by the end of the year.
“At present, efforts are being made to ensure that 9 new construction projects including Noa, Yu Zhuo and Gong Nuo can achieve ‘commencement upon land acquisition’. This will guarantee the completion of the main structures of 8 projects such as Hong Guang, An Yuan Da and the second phase of BYD, and the commissioning of 10 projects including Lushi River, Xing Yin and Heng Tian within the year.” Li Xiaoling, the deputy director of the Economic Development Bureau of the Development Zone, said.
In terms of factor guarantee, the development zone plans to offer 31 industrial land parcels covering 1,711 mu this year, and revitalize 9 parcels of low-efficiency land totaling 749 mu. It aims to ensure that the annual increase in industrial and storage land remains at around 1,000 mu, providing solid support for the implementation of major projects.
Capital increase and production expansion: From “stabilizing existing capacity” to “exploring potential”
“Steady growth is the best form of expansion.” In the view of the development zone, providing excellent services to existing enterprises is the best way to attract investment. Nanjing Chang’an Automobile is accelerating the introduction of new models; Skyworth Electrical Appliances plans to further expand production; the headquarters project of Longdian Huaxin is being advanced at a fast pace… A number of leading enterprises are becoming the “main force” for the development zone to increase capital and expand production.
The development zone has established a supply chain map for the leading enterprises, clearly identifying the core links and supporting demands, and precisely attracting component enterprises. Zhang Qi, the director of the Economic Development Bureau of the development zone, introduced that this year, no less than 10 enterprises will be included in the supply chain of the leading enterprises, and the output value of the new energy vehicle industry will exceed 57 billion yuan.
At the same time, the development zone has implemented an enterprise gradient cultivation plan, aiming to add one enterprise with a revenue of 10 billion yuan (Skyworth Electrical Appliances), three enterprises with a revenue of 5 billion yuan (Siemens, Long Electric Huaxin, and Jinlong Bus), and two listed companies within three years.
The relevant officials of the development zone stated that in the next step, they will closely adhere to the theme of “lean services and seizing projects”, and will comprehensively exert efforts in project attraction, industrial cultivation, project promotion, and business environment improvement. They will demonstrate their practical achievements to be the vanguard of the overall development of the region.
