What are the development prospects of the Pearl River Delta?

The innovation capabilities of the Pearl River Delta, represented by Shenzhen, are constantly strengthening. At the same time, the ability to gather innovative elements is also increasing. So, what is the aggregation capacity of innovation factors among the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta? Let’s analyze it below. Root

1 The nine cities in the Pearl River Delta have formed a pattern of innovation factor agglomeration capabilities with a relatively obvious gradient

In 2017, the ranking of the innovation factor agglomeration capabilities of the nine Pearl River Delta cities was Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, and Dongguan , Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen, and Zhaoqing. According to the natural discontinuity classification method, the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta can be divided into three levels. The first level is Shenzhen and Guangzhou. The comprehensive index of innovation factor agglomeration capacity reaches 1887 and 1344 respectively. Higher than other cities; the second level is Foshan and Dongguan, the comprehensive index of innovation factor aggregation ability reaches 430, 383 respectively; the third level is Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing, the comprehensive index of innovation factor aggregation ability reaches 277, 276 respectively ,212,207,100.

Among them, Shenzhen’s ability to gather innovation factors is second to none. Shenzhen’s comprehensive ability to gather innovation factors, factor concentration, platform concentration, and mechanism concentration all rank first among the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta, followed by Guangzhou ( See Table 1 for details).

2 Factor aggregation capabilities

The rankings of factor aggregation capabilities are Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Zhuhai, and Zhaoqing. The factor aggregation capabilities are 1510 and 965 respectively. ,344,217,208,189,138,135,100. Among various indicators, in addition to the number of professional and technical talents with senior professional titles, Shenzhen ranks first among the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta in terms of the number of doctorates introduced, the total social R&D investment, the number of venture capital funds, and the number of invention patent authorizations. There is an obvious gap between the nine cities in the triangle, especially the number of venture capital funds. Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Zhuhai are much higher than other cities, about 2263 times, 325 times and 273 times of Zhaoqing respectively.

3 Platform aggregation capabilities

The platform aggregation capabilities are Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Jiangmen, Zhongshan, Huizhou, and Zhaoqing. The platform aggregation capability indexes are 2231 and 1028 respectively. ,398,241,241,207,179,136,100. Among various indicators, in addition to the number of innovation platforms at or above the provincial level, Shenzhen ranks first among the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta in terms of the number of high-tech enterprises, the amount of funding received by key disciplines, the comprehensive strength ranking of national high-tech zones, and the number of technology business incubators. There are obvious differences among the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta in terms of the number of high-tech enterprises, the amount of funding received by key disciplines, and the number of technology business incubators. Shenzhen is approximately 39 times, 28 times, and 12 times that of Zhaoqing respectively.

4 Mechanism aggregation capability

The mechanism aggregation capabilities are Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen, and Zhaoqing. The mechanism aggregation capability indexes are 10581 and 3485 respectively. ,1383,1241,1145,472,444,235,100. Among various indicators, in addition to the proportion of fiscal science and technology expenditures in total fiscal expenditures and the number of technological achievements transferred from universities to enterprises, Shenzhen's fiscal science and technology expenditures, technology contract turnover, and new IPO fundraising quotas of high-tech enterprises all rank among the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta. No. 1. There is a clear gap between the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta in terms of technology contract turnover, new IPO fundraising quotas for high-tech companies, and fiscal science and technology expenditures. Shenzhen is approximately 1,735 times, 136 times, and 60 times that of Zhaoqing respectively.

In short, the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta have formed a pattern of innovation factor agglomeration capabilities with a relatively obvious gradient. Shenzhen and Guangzhou belong to the first level, Foshan and Dongguan belong to the second level, and Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen, and Zhaoqing belong to the second level. The third level.
