From one enterprise to 180, by decoding Lishui Machine Tool’s listing on the national industrial cluster, we can see that this is a model of the combination of an “effective market” and a “proactive government”. In the development of this industrial cluster, the government services of Lishui have been comprehensively upgraded from concept to action. Its role has shifted from “investment promotion agent” to “service provider”, with the core lying in the integration of “precision”, “coordination” and “innovation”, which reflects the coordinated progress of “effective market” and “proactive government”.

Implement precise policies and draw up a blueprint for the industrial chain
Lishui has abandoned the old model of blind investment promotion and innovatively adopted the “disassembling machine tools for investment promotion method”. By meticulously disassembling complete machines and deeply tracing the upstream sources, it has precisely drawn up an industrial chain investment promotion map. This measure not only significantly enhanced the efficiency of investment promotion, but also ensured the integrity and high degree of synergy of the industrial chain. The government no longer passively waits but takes the initiative to act and precisely connect with enterprises. With professional spirit and full sincerity, it impresses enterprises and retains them with high-quality services and solid guarantees. This transformation not only reflects the government’s profound understanding of industrial laws, but also highlights the government’s responsibility and commitment to serving enterprises.
Work together to build an efficient ecosystem
A healthy industrial cluster should be an organic whole with closely interwoven upstream and downstream sectors and efficient resource flow. Lishui, led by leading enterprises, has effectively reduced the risks and costs of supporting enterprises by stabilizing orders, unifying technical standards and market channels. The continuous improvement of supporting enterprises, in turn, nourishes leading enterprises, forming an efficient collaborative network of a “10-minute supply circle”. This model not only enhances the overall competitiveness of the cluster but also promotes the win-win development of enterprises in cooperation.
Innovation-driven development, creating new industrial highlands
While pursuing scale expansion, Lishui pays more attention to the high-quality development of enterprises. The government actively promotes the “intelligent transformation and digital transition” of enterprises, guides in-depth cooperation among industry, academia and research, builds technological innovation platforms, implements a series of innovative service mechanisms, and encourages enterprises to be bold in investment and courageous in innovation. In this process, the role of the government has also shifted from a “recruiter” to an “innovation partner”, working hand in hand with enterprises to move forward and grow together.

Looking back at the development process of Lishui’s CNC machine tool industrial cluster, it is precisely a wonderful case of how the government and the market dance together. Its value lies not only in the scale effect of the gathering of 180 enterprises, but also in the valuable experience brought by its innovative mechanisms such as “dismantling machine tools for investment promotion” and “chain leader leadership”.

Of course, being selected for the “national team” is merely a milestone, not the end. Facing increasingly fierce market competition and the significant mission of being the “mother machine of industry” as the foundation of manufacturing, how can we continuously stimulate innovation vitality and strengthen the resilience of the industrial chain, so as to achieve the leap from “pioneer” to “leader”? Lishui manufacturing is joining hands with all parties to innovate and break through on the road of industrial upgrading, and accelerate its pace.
