Industrial Capacity
At present, Shaoguan City has 8 provincial-level industrial transfer parks and 6 provincial-level development zones. Industrial parks have been established in all the 10 counties (cities, districts) in the city. The infrastructure and industrial capacity of all the industrial parks are improving.
Shaoguan New District (the pilot zone for receiving industrial transfer from the Guangdong-HongKong-Macau Greater Bay Area)
The city merged the Shaoguan High-tech Zone with Furong New District into the Shaoguan New District, realizing the integration of industries areas and unban living space, building the New District into the pilot zone for receiving industrial transfer from the Guangdong-HongKong-Macau Greater Bay Area, fostering Shaoguan City’s integration into the the Guangdong-HongKong-Macau Greater Bay Area and serving the further development of the Greater Bay Area.
The planning of the high-tech zone is divided into the core development zone and the coordination zone, including the Zhenjiang area, Muxi-Yangshan area, Dongguan-Shaoguan Industrial Park-Phase-1, Gantan area, Longgui area, Baitu area, and South China Advanced Equipment Industrial Park, covering a land area of 4905.3 hectares, of which 640 hectares have been approved by the provincial government.
Relying on the existing industrial base, the high-tech zone will accelerate the construction of a new pattern of development in which traditional advanced equipment manufacturing and strategic emerging industries will be jointly developed, while modern service industries and traditional manufacturing industries will be mutually promoted. Shaoguan will set up a modern industrial system of "1+3": advanced equipment manufacturing, new materials, big data (electronic information) and biomedical industry. It will also promote the upgrade of the traditional advanced equipment manufacturing industry into intelligent manufacturing; facilitate the integration of manufacturing and industrial R&D design and services, big data and modern logistics industries; foster the development of strategic emerging industries such as new materials and bio-medicine. At the same time, Shaoguan City will have a well-planed layout of the high-tech zone regarding its space, industries and functions, making a coordinated overall arrangement of“Core Zone – Expansion Zone – Coordinated Zone”.
