The atmosphere was lively and some investment cooperation intentions were reached.
Cultivating excellent soil for enterprises is an important guarantee for achieving high-quality development. In today’s group discussion, enterprises have a strong desire for a better and more intimate development environment. Facing the changes in the market structure of new energy vehicles, Gu Huinan, general manager of Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd. suggested that core cities and tourist cities should take the lead in implementing the "zero" emission policy to ensure the sustained and healthy development of the industry.
Jiang Hailong, Chairman of Guangdong New Energy Storage National Research Institute Co., Ltd., pointed out in the group discussion that the current policies and mechanisms for promoting various application scenarios of new energy storage in Guangdong need to be further improved. He is looking forward to a breakthrough in the policy of new energy storage talents and injecting new vitality into the high-quality development of new energy storage.
Enterprises have voices and the government has responded. The reporter was informed at the meeting that Guangdong will issue a policy document to further strengthen the dominant position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation, vigorously promote the experience that 90% of R&D personnel, R&D institutions, scientific research investment and patent production are concentrated in enterprises, encourage leading scientific and technological enterprises to take the lead in setting up innovation consortia, vigorously support enterprises to build high-level innovation platforms, effectively improve the ability of original technology demand traction, source supply, resource allocation and transformation and application, and promote more scientific and technological achievements to be transformed and applied to specific industries and industrial chains.
In addition, in the near future, Guangdong will officially launch the "one-click" enterprise-related policy in Guangdong Province on the Yueshangtong APP, focusing on 12 key areas such as talents, financing and natural resources, sorting out and refining the first batch of 116 policy dry goods in recent years, and accurately pushing them to all kinds of enterprises to help enterprises reduce costs, strengthen confidence and add vitality to the maximum extent.
Increase scientific and technological research and development, and continue to break through the "stuck neck" technology
In 2023, the world’s first wind turbine equipped with "integrated intelligent cage for wind and fishing" was successfully hoisted in Guangdong. In that year, the world’s first integrated intelligent equipment "Mingyu No.1" was put into the sea to collect fish. This is the epitome of Mingyang Smart Energy Group (hereinafter referred to as "Mingyang Group") focusing on R&D and manufacturing of new energy equipment and promoting high-end clean energy technology.
In recent years, Guangdong has made every effort to build a source of key core technologies. This year’s government work report mentioned that Guangdong has made a number of breakthrough achievements in the fields of next-generation communication, terminal operating system, industrial software, energy storage and new energy, and the innovation vitality of enterprises is strong.
The achievement of these achievements is behind Guangdong’s continuous increase in investment in scientific and technological research and development, leading the high-quality development of the industry through scientific and technological innovation. In 2023, the province’s R&D expenditure was about 460 billion yuan, accounting for 3.39% of the regional GDP, and the comprehensive regional innovation capability ranked first in the country for seven consecutive years.
At the group discussion site, many enterprises also talked about achieving new breakthroughs in key core technologies by increasing R&D investment. In Guangdong, enterprises are the protagonists of innovation. In 2023, the pre-tax deduction of R&D expenses for enterprises in the province exceeded 680 billion yuan. With the mechanism guarantee for increasing R&D investment, the innovation motivation of enterprises is stronger.
"In the past three years, TCL has invested more than 12 billion yuan in research and development every year." Wang Cheng, Party Secretary and Chief Operating Officer of TCL Technology Group Co., Ltd. introduced.
In order to break through the key core technology of surgical robots, Shenzhen Jingfeng Medical Technology Co., Ltd. has increased the introduction of interdisciplinary R&D personnel, and the number has exceeded 60% of the company’s number.
Participating companies are optimistic about Guangdong’s good prospects for scientific and technological innovation, saying that they will continue to increase investment in research and development in the future and make new breakthroughs in key technologies in more industries. Gu Huinan said that by establishing an EV whole-process R&D system, GAC Ai ‘an will increase investment in R&D, intellectual creation, talents and other fields in the future, forming a continuous leading competitiveness and helping the transformation and upgrading of Guangdong’s new energy automobile industry. Wang Cheng also expects to continue to promote industrial autonomy through scientific and technological innovation in the future and serve the high-quality development of industries such as semiconductor display, photovoltaic and intelligent terminals in Guangdong.
Gather resources and accelerate the integration of science and technology industries to form greater synergy.
Relying on the foundation of a big economic province and a big manufacturing province, Guangdong has the advantages of many application scenarios, strong industrial support and rapid transformation of achievements in building a modern industrial system, which also provides good conditions for industrial resource agglomeration.
At the group discussion site, many enterprises demonstrated the important role of industrial resource agglomeration in promoting the deep integration of science and technology industry with practical cases.
"Combine upstream and downstream superior forces to form an innovative consortium, and successfully develop the world’s first 5T ultra-high field human whole-body magnetic resonance imaging system, breaking the long-term monopoly of foreign countries; It was the first to break through the first domestic extracorporeal membrane oxygenation system (ECMO), which solved the’ urgent need’ for the treatment at the peak of the epidemic. " Zheng Hairong, academician of China Academy of Sciences, vice president of Shenzhen Advanced Institute and director of National High Performance Medical Device Innovation Center, said that Shenzhen Advanced Institute has attracted a number of industry leaders and institutions such as Sinopharm, UIH, Minimally Invasive and China Medical Equipment Association to settle in Shenzhen, leading the development of high-end medical device industrial clusters in Guangdong and China, and transforming scientific research achievements into new quality productivity as soon as possible.
Zhang Chuanwei, Party Secretary and Chairman of Mingyang Group, introduced the experience and practice of innovation to promote the cluster development of clean energy industry. "We have laid out the world’s largest fixed offshore wind turbine manufacturing base in Yangjiang and the world’s first floating offshore wind power manufacturing base in Shanwei." Zhang Chuanwei said that the development of industrial clustering will provide a strong industrial support system and innovation system for marine energy to move towards trillions of industrial clusters.
In 2023, the only national and local new energy storage innovation center (hereinafter referred to as "Guochuang Center") settled in Guangdong. Jiang Hailong said that Guochuang Center will build a collaborative innovation base for new energy storage Industry-University-Research in Baiyun, Guangzhou, and build the only system testing and real-world verification platform for 220kV substations in China, and introduce more than ten new energy storage head enterprises such as Zhongke Haina, Beijing Weilan and Shanghai Liangxin to cultivate new energy storage and new productivity industrial clusters, with the aim of significantly improving new energy storage.
