Investment promotion of Foshan High-tech Zone from January to July 2020

From January to July 2020, Foshan High-tech Zone has attracted an investment of 29.1 billion yuan. On August 13, Foshan High-tech Zone held the CPC Working Committee (enlarged) Meeting, which conveyed the investment promotion of major projects from January to July this year, and arranged the key focus in the next stage. Cai Jiahua, standing member of the CPC Foshan Municipal Committee, vice mayor of Foshan, and secretary of the CPC Working Committee of the High-tech Zone, said that with a sense of urgency that “cannot wait, slow down or sit still”, new achievements should be created in attracting investment for major projects within a short period.

By far, five parks of the Foshan High-tech Zone have introduced major industrial projects of more than 1 billion yuan, with a total planned investment of about 29.1 billion yuan, including two projects invested with more than 5 billion yuan or 500 million US dollars, namely the StarFive Technology Open-Source Chip Base Project in Shunde Park (5 billion yuan) and the Plainvim International Modern Industrial Park Project in Nanhai Park (10.5 billion yuan).

In addition, five parks of theHigh-tech Zone have introduced 16 industrial projects (including major projects of more than 1 billion yuan), with a total planned investment of about 30.7 billion yuan. The investment of four projects for capital increase and production expansion was about 6.11 billion yuan, accounting for about 19.9%. The investment of five industrial park projects reached about 15.856 billion yuan, accounting for about 51.65%.

Good projects and large projects are the important boost to promote economic development. In July this year, the CPC Foshan Municipal Committee and the government have held 3 meetings successively to emphasize the introduction and construction of major projects. The High-tech Zone as the innovation and development leader in Foshan and the main engine of industrial upgrade should take major responsibilities and take the lead in attracting investment for major projects.

“It is necessary to put the investment promotion of major industrial projects in a more prominent position in terms of thinking and action,” Cai Jiahua pointed out that the Management Committee and administrations of various parks should further raise the awareness of “project is the top priority”, focus on the projects, make good preparations for the projects, pay close attention to the introduction and construction of major industrial projects, seize new projects, investment and large scales, and strive to cultivate new opportunities in crisis and create a new era in the midst of changes.

At the same time, Foshan High-tech Zone willintroduce projects according to the standard of “high-end + chain group matching”, which focuses on the high-quality industrial system of “two transformations and hard technology” in the High-tech Zone, pays close attention to the new generation of information technology, artificial intelligence, bio-medicine, new energy, new materials and other environment-friendly projects with high-tech contents, great market potentials and good development prospects. It will accelerate the improvement of the urban function of the zone and the construction of supporting projects for public services to enhance the overall competitiveness of the zone.

It is necessary to stay problem-oriented, goal-oriented, and result-oriented, make full use of the space vacated by the reconstruction of village-level industrial parks, promote the layout, introduction, settlement, and the construction of a number of large and good projects, and attract investment to promote the high-quality development of Foshan through major industrial projects.

On that day, the meeting also studied the Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of National High-tech Industrial Development Zones issued by the State Council. Cai Jiahua said that in order to implement the new development concept and promote high-quality development, Foshan High-tech Zone will research and formulate an action plan soon to promote the high-quality development of the High-tech Zone with innovative ecological optimization support.
