CRNTT:

In 2023, the proportion of the output value of strategic emerging industries in Anhui province accounted for over 40% of the total output value of the industrial enterprises above the designated size. What achievements and experience have been made in creating clusters for emerging industries? Thank you.

Fei Gaoyun:

In recent years, based on its own industrial foundation, Anhui province has accelerated the creation of clusters for emerging industries in key areas such as automobiles and new-generation information technology, in response to the new round of industrial development and transformation. It has developed new quality productive forces according to local conditions.

Here, I would like to share a set of data with you. Currently, the automotive and equipment manufacturing industries in Anhui have both exceeded 1 trillion yuan. Our new materials, new energy, and energy-conserving and environment friendly industries have also surpassed 500 billion yuan. In particular, our automotive industry has experienced rapid development. As Mr. Wang just mentioned, our automobile production last year reached 2.491 million vehicles, ranking second in the country. Among them, the production of new energy vehicles (NEVs) reached 868,000 vehicles, ranking fourth in the country. Automobile exports reached 1.147 million vehicles, which means that approximately one out of every four cars exported overseas from China is manufactured in Anhui. Over the past decade, the proportion of strategic emerging industries in Anhui's industrial output value has doubled. To achieve such a development trend, we have consistently focused on the following three aspects in our work:

First, we adhere to the direction of cluster development. Following the path of "leading enterprises, industrial chains, industrial clusters, industrial ecosystems," we persistently promote the aggregation and consolidation of industries. For example, with seven automobile manufacturers such as Chery, NIO, JAC and Volkswagen Anhui as the leading companies, we have attracted over 4,000 automotive component and aftermarket enterprises. More than 470 integrated circuit industry enterprises have been clustered, forming a relatively complete industrial chain.

Second, we adhere to the approach of "sci-tech innovation + industry." We leverage our abundant science and innovation resources to serve industries and enterprises. For instance, we are implementing the "Two 80%" initiative, which aims to ensure that 80% of newly designated industrial innovation platforms each year are led by enterprises, and 80% of industrial sci-tech projects each year are initiated by enterprises.

We are also carrying out the "Two Doublings" action, which means that by 2025, the number of high-tech enterprises and technology-based SMEs in the province will both be double compared to 2021. Last year, Anhui saw an average of 11 new high-tech enterprises and 26 new technology-based SMEs established every day.

Third, we adhere to market-oriented and specialized promotion mechanisms. We invite leading enterprises and expert teams to join the promotion groups for emerging industries, jointly formulate industrial plans, and map out industrial chains. We actively utilize models such as attracting industrial chain investment and scenario-based investment, and discover industrial resources through market forces. Additionally, we cooperate with international chambers of commerce, bilateral funds, and others to better integrate Anhui's advantageous industries into the global industrial chain. Thank you.
