Xinhuanet, Shenzhen, January 22 (Reporter Peng Yong) In recent years, Shenzhen has actively used foreign capital to develop high-end service industries and adjust the economic structure; at the same time, it has transformed the growth mode of foreign trade and increased the export of high-tech products. proportion; in addition, efforts are made to cultivate more enterprises with independent brands and intellectual property rights, so that they can shine in import and export trade and the "going global" strategy, making the opening-up work present three major highlights.
Utilizing foreign capital: accelerating the development of high-end service industries
At the beginning of the new year, the Shenzhen Municipal Government issued this year’s No. 1 document - "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Development of High-end Service Industries", clarifying It is proposed to accelerate the development of high-end service industries including innovative finance, modern logistics, network information, service outsourcing, creative design, brand development and high-end tourism, and strive to build the high-end service industry into the new "locomotive" of Shenzhen's economy.
It is understood that after years of development, the added value of Shenzhen's service industry has increased from 105.8 billion yuan in 2000 to 230.7 billion yuan in 2005, ranking first among the 23 large and medium-sized cities in the country. Four. Among them, producer service industries such as finance, logistics, information services, and scientific and technological services have developed rapidly and have become an important part of Shenzhen's economic development. In 2005, the proportion of investment in the service industry in Shenzhen's total foreign investment reached 40%. In the financial field alone, foreign banks have established 36 business institutions and 7 representative offices in Shenzhen.
"Shenzhen's focus on developing high-end service industries is not only based on economic development considerations, but also a choice to solve the unsustainable problem of Shenzhen's land, energy and other physical resources." said Tan Gang, deputy director of Shenzhen University of Socialism Currently, of the more than 700 square kilometers of developable land in Shenzhen, more than 500 square kilometers have been developed. Extensive economic growth is no longer sustainable. If we want to produce more economic benefits on limited land, we must develop high-end service industry.
Tan Gang believes that the current trend of economic globalization is increasing, the new technological revolution is in the ascendant, and the trend of international industrial transfer from manufacturing to service industry, especially to high-end service industry, is becoming increasingly obvious. Shenzhen took the lead in issuing the document, hoping to take advantage of the new round of industrial transfer. At the same time, this will objectively improve the quality of Shenzhen’s utilization of foreign investment.
Transforming the growth mode of foreign trade: high-tech products account for half of exports
In order to solve the problem of extensive foreign trade growth mode, Shenzhen has vigorously promoted the independent innovation strategy in recent years and cultivated a large number of independent enterprises. brands and intellectual property rights, in order to improve the structure and quality of foreign trade.
Shenzhen Granda Technology Co., Ltd., which has been engaged in processing trade for 10 years, began to transform six years ago, and its products were upgraded from mechanical parts and molds to integrated circuit equipment. "Processing trade will be unprofitable in the end. Only research and development can survive. Moreover, Shenzhen has rich integrated circuit industry resources." Lin Yilong, the company's chairman and president, said when talking about the reasons for the company's transformation. After 6 years of hard work, Granda has now become a well-known integrated circuit equipment manufacturer in the industry. The five independently developed integrated circuit packaging and testing equipment have filled the domestic gap.
For more and more Shenzhen export companies, independent innovation is by no means an empty slogan, but an inevitable choice to achieve sustainable development. In recent years, Shenzhen has significantly accelerated its transformation of export methods, and its export structure has tended to be optimized. According to Shenzhen Customs statistics, from January to October last year, Shenzhen's cumulative foreign trade import and export volume was US$186.96 billion, a year-on-year increase of 32.69%. Among them, exports totaled US$106.15 billion, a year-on-year increase of 36.61%. General trade exports, high-tech exports and private enterprise exports increased significantly. In particular, the cumulative export of high-tech products was US$47.12 billion, a year-on-year increase of 33.87%, accounting for 44.39% of the total export value, becoming an important force supporting the growth of Shenzhen's foreign trade exports and optimizing the structure of export commodities.
According to reports, in the next few years, Shenzhen will build a 250,000-square-meter high-tech enterprise and product incubation base, build a number of national, provincial and municipal key laboratories, and build a number of enterprise-oriented laboratories. Relying on the engineering technology research and development center and enterprise technology research and development institutions that combine industry, academia and research.
The government's policy support and the intrinsic needs of enterprise development promote each other, and the independent innovation strategy will drive a comprehensive upgrade of Shenzhen's export model. It is estimated that by 2010, Shenzhen's exports of high-tech products will reach approximately US$70 billion.
"Going out" strategy: Holding core technologies and international patents to "enter the world"
"Going out" is what more and more Shenzhen companies are doing in the face of new international competition. important choice. According to reports, there are currently more than 300 approved and functioning overseas enterprises and institutions in Shenzhen, covering more than 80 countries and regions around the world. There are more than 20 R&D institutions in the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, South Korea, India, Russia and other countries. enterprises, and initially cultivated a number of multinational companies with certain international competitiveness.
What is commendable is that Shenzhen enterprises are not blind at all in "going out", but are calmly "entering the world" with core technologies and international patents in hand. According to statistics, Shenzhen enterprises filed 748 international patent applications last year, ranking among the top among large and medium-sized cities in the country. A group of private enterprises with independent intellectual property rights have also gone abroad and become the main force in Shenzhen's transformation of export methods to achieve sustainable development. Among the city's foreign investment projects last year, more than 50% were implemented by high-tech enterprises.
Take ZTE as an example. When the company was founded, its main business was to act as an agent for switches for overseas manufacturers. Soon, the company began to transform into a research and development enterprise. Up to now, ZTE has been engaged in third-generation mobile communications (3G), next-generation networks, and Internet TV (IPTV). The technology development and application in many communication fields such as broadband access and broadband access are at the internationally advanced level. What's even more gratifying is that with the improvement of its technological status, ZTE has begun to get involved in the competition for international communication patents and standards. At present, ZTE has joined more than 50 international standardization organizations, and has obtained the right to draft and edit international standards in multiple fields such as next-generation networks, optical transmission, information security, gateways, and 3G terminals, and has submitted nearly 1,000 international standard manuscripts. article and become an important player in the field of standard setting.
