Luocun Street, Nanhai District, Foshan City, was known as the "Hometown of Glass" a few years ago, with traditional industries such as glass, ceramics, and leather as its pillars. Nowadays, after Nanhai District has experienced strong rectification of energy conservation, emission reduction and pollution control, the original enterprises have been transferred or converted, and some have been shut down according to law.
This freed up a large amount of land in Luocun, giving Luocun the confidence and space to develop emerging industries. When green lighting becomes a new growth point for the global economy, LED (semiconductor light-emitting diodes) becomes a new trend in industrial development. Luocun, which has a solid foundation in the traditional lighting industry, positions this industry as a new pillar of future development.
With the opening of the first phase of the Guangdong Province New Light Source Industrial Base, the unveiling of the South China Branch of the National Semiconductor Lighting Engineering R&D and Industry Alliance, and the establishment of the Guangdong New Light Source Industrial Base Financing Center, we are witnessing a series of initiatives such as the opening of the Guangdong New Light Source Industrial Base. Transformation and upgrading of villages and towns.
Today, the first phase of the Guangdong New Light Source Industrial Base located in Luocun Street, Nanhai District, Foshan City was officially opened. These include the unveiling of the South China Branch of the National Semiconductor Lighting Engineering R&D and Industry Alliance, the establishment of the Guangdong New Light Source Industrial Base Financing Service Center, the opening of the South China (International) Electric Light Source Lighting City, and the official capping of the 100,000 square meter industrial carrier of the Guangdong New Light Source Industrial Base. .
This means that Luocun is about to become a region with the entire semiconductor lighting industry chain from upstream chip epitaxial equipment and chip research to downstream packaging, modules, lighting fixtures, and lighting engineering. With the help of the new light source industry base, Luocun will make every effort to build a "new light source industry capital".
The industry will be planned and implemented at the national policy level
The establishment of the South China Branch of the National Semiconductor Lighting Engineering R&D and Industry Alliance in Luocun, Nanhai will not only have a positive impact on the local semiconductor industry in Foshan, Nanhai It plays a leading role and has far-reaching significance for Guangdong Province and even the entire South China region.
The National Semiconductor Lighting Engineering R&D and Industry Alliance was established in October 2004. It was initiated by 43 domestic key enterprises and scientific research institutes engaged in the semiconductor lighting industry in accordance with the principles of "voluntariness, equality, and cooperation". It is currently the most cohesive and influential alliance in the domestic semiconductor industry. At present, the alliance's member units have grown to include more than 100 enterprises and scientific research institutes from Hong Kong and the Mainland.
In the Guangdong region, the Alliance also jointly formulated the "Guangdong Province LED Industry Development Plan (2010-2015)" with the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, and promoted the integration of major national innovation resources such as the 863 and 973 plans with the Guangdong LED industry docking.
Obviously, the South China Branch of the National Semiconductor Lighting Engineering R&D and Industry Alliance has been established in Luocun, Nanhai. To a certain extent, the settlement of the alliance will guide the planning and guidance of the new light source industry base in Guangdong Province. Guide the planning and layout of semiconductors from the national level.
Yang Jinggang, director of the Luocun Sub-district Office, said that after the South China branch is inaugurated, it will implement resource sharing with the Nanhai Lighting Industry Association and other organizations, focusing on industry, decision-making, resources, publicity, planning, Innovate in training and application models, and conduct comprehensive cooperation in trading platforms, public security testing platforms and financing.
For enterprises in the region, they can virtually enjoy the resources and services provided by the alliance, including testing, training, talents, market information exchange and public services. Next, the alliance and Nanhai District will jointly build the Nanhai Semiconductor Lighting Comprehensive Demonstration Zone and explore an innovative model for the sustainable development of the national-level regional semiconductor lighting industry. According to the plan, the two parties will work together in 5 to 8 years to build Nanhai into a comprehensive demonstration zone for semiconductor lighting with distinctive regional characteristics, industrial cohesion and competitiveness, and international reputation.
The "market base" model is led by the government
In Luocun's view, the "market base" model can achieve mutual promotion, mutual improvement, and mutual driving between the market and industry. Thus forming a complete agglomeration development network.
If the settlement of the alliance is an important support for Luocun to build a "new light source industry capital", then the development model of the local government's "market base" plays a decisive role.
Among the many elements that an industrial base must have, in addition to a complete product production chain, logistics, stores, exhibitions and other related supporting facilities are also indispensable. Taking this as a standard, looking across the country, even in the three major electric light source provinces of Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, it is difficult to find a true electric light source industry base with complete supporting facilities and complete elements.
Luocun is aiming to be the "Capital of New Light Source Industry". Although it has a strong industrial foundation, in the face of such a huge "industrial chain", it is difficult to rely solely on the government's "plan" or the company's "market" Neither can be completed. At this point, Luocun chose the idea of ??“a thousand acres of professional market and ten thousand acres of production base” to advance. In Luocun's view, the "market base" model can achieve mutual promotion, mutual promotion, and mutual driving between the market and industry, thereby forming a complete agglomeration development network.
Among them, the core area of ??the Guangdong New Light Source Industrial Base, the key part of the 10,000-mu production base, is led by the government. The public areas including the core science and technology building are managed by Luocun Street and Nanhai District Government. *** jointly invested 200 million yuan for construction; while the factories surrounding the core area were constructed by introducing brand companies to build their own factories or introducing private capital. So far, about 300 million yuan of private capital has poured into the area, and many companies have signed contracts to settle in the area.
Zhou Suhong, a professor at Sun Yat-sen University who is responsible for the planning of the core park, said that the overall plan of the park currently plans to build the core area under the leadership of the government, and then widely attract enterprises to participate in the construction under the leading role.
On the other hand, the first phase of the South China (International) Electric Light Source Lighting Market, which is a thousand-acre professional market carrier, also officially opened today. The first phase of investment promotion has completed 99%, and 1,800 shops have been rented. The merchants include local Foshan, as well as manufacturers and dealers from Shenzhen, Zhongshan and other provinces.
Different from the traditional professional markets for furniture lighting in Zhongshan Ancient Town, the electric light source lighting market in South China mainly focuses on new light source products such as commercial lighting. At the same time, taking advantage of the location of Foshan Airport and Foshan New Railway Station in Luocun, tens of thousands of square meters of exhibition center will be planned in the second phase of the Lighting City. By then, Luocun will become a technological research and development, production base, and professional market. It is a new light source industrial base integrating logistics, logistics and exhibition centers.
“The opening of the New Light Source Industrial Base is a dividing point, which means that Luocun has fully shifted from the previous incubation period to the substantial action period.” According to Liu Zongyang, deputy director of the Luocun Subdistrict Office, the two The next year will usher in a "leap period" for the new light source industry. It is expected that the output value of new light sources will exceed 10 billion by 2015. We strive to build the industrial base into a domestic first-class and internationally competitive electric light source lighting within 8-10 years. Industrial cluster.
The combination of finance and technological innovation industry upgrading
Many companies have problems with lack of start-up capital and difficulty in financing in the initial stage. In a sense, the process of supporting the new light source industry is a vivid example of the combination of financial innovation, technological innovation, and industrial upgrading.
Luocun’s vision is to use “a thousand acres of professional market and ten thousand acres of production base” to lead the development of the new light source industry. The presence of alliances and other institutions will further support the development of the new light source industry. However, after the introduction of leading enterprises, how to support the development of potential small and medium-sized enterprises in the park?
At this year’s Nanhai District economic analysis meeting for the first half of the year, Nanhai District put forward the proposition of “how to proceed in the post-energy conservation and emission reduction era” and stated that financial innovation, technological innovation, and industrial upgrading should be combined will be the focus of the next phase of work.
At present, the new light source industry base mainly attracts investment and introduces some new light source companies with growth and development potential. They have either transformed from traditional industries, or have new technologies and entered the industry. Among these companies, Many of them have problems such as lack of start-up capital and difficulty in financing in the initial stage. In a sense, the process of supporting the new light source industry is a vivid example of the combination of financial innovation, technological innovation, and industrial upgrading.
This morning, the Guangdong New Light Source Industrial Base Financing Center was also established. Chen Jianbin, deputy director of the Nanhai District Economic Promotion Bureau, revealed that many banks and other financial institutions have joined the financing center. Compared with general bank financing services, the financing center will launch financial products for the new light source industry. For example, new light source technology patents or scientific research achievements can be used for pledge financing to transform technology into capital.
According to the preliminary idea, the financing center will work together with the investment office to provide financing services from the time an enterprise intends to move in. At the same time, many of the companies currently being negotiated have the intention to go public. According to this positioning requirement, the financing center will also introduce venture capital institutions.
On the other hand, the Nanhai District Government has officially issued the "Implementation Rules for the Measures to Support the Development of the Green Lighting Industry in Nanhai District, Foshan City", allocating 2 billion yuan to reward and support the development of green lighting companies in the region, including Enterprises that meet the application conditions can receive interest subsidy subsidies of up to 30 and 1 million yuan; the first three years are based on the standards of 5 yuan/month, 3 yuan/month, and 2 yuan/month per square meter respectively (the upper limit of the subsidy for each enterprise shall not exceed 5,000 square meters) to provide rent subsidies to enterprises and a one-time maximum reward of 1 million yuan to qualified enterprises.
The new light source industry drives urban transformation, and the "Southern New City" is ready to go
South China (International) Electric Light Source Lighting City is not just a pure industrial zone, but Like a city, the southern new city must also be equipped with such high standards. With the Guangdong New Light Source Industrial Base as the support point, Luocun will leverage the construction of the entire "Southern New City". It can be said that the New Light Source Industrial Base is the support point for the transformation and upgrading of Luocun's traditional industries, while the southern new city is an important driving force for promoting the urbanization process of Luocun.
Different from the development model in other places, the rise of Luocun's "Southern New City" is not driven by real estate, but by the new light source industry. The construction of the core area of ??the new light source has already started. The four science and technology buildings are expected to be completed and put into use in March next year. Inside, there will be an industry technology innovation center, a small and medium-sized enterprise incubation accelerator, and an industrial public service platform.
Luocun’s idea is to use the New Light Source Core Park as a leading fulcrum to leverage the development of the 8 square kilometers of the southern new city. To this end, Luocun invited Jurong Group, a well-known design company in Singapore, to carry out high-standard planning for the three sectors of the southern new town, central city area and eastern area.
In order to build a modern new city, Luocun has studied urban construction in many places. Among them, Guangzhou Science City has given Luocun a profound inspiration: Science City has NBA stadiums, hotel apartments , sports fields, leisure and entertainment facilities, supermarkets, etc., all the elements that can be seen in the city can be found in the Science City.
According to the preliminary plan, the "Southern New City" will build business districts on both sides of Luocun Avenue and develop high-end commercial and residential projects along the Fenjiang River. After the completion of the core park, it will undoubtedly bring the flow of people, capital, business, etc. to the "Southern New City", thereby driving the regional value-added of the "Southern New City" and urging the "Southern New City" to become the most economically powerful area in Luocun.
From the "Hometown of Glass" to the "City of New Light Sources"
It only takes 20 minutes by car from Fangcun Hangkou Metro Station in Guangzhou to Luocun, Nanhai District. Such transportation advantages make Luocun started extensive industrial development in the countryside very early, with glass, ceramics, leather, etc. as its pillar industries. It is known as the "Hometown of Glass" by the outside world.
However, the large amount of wealth accumulated in this way cannot bring about substantial improvements to industries and cities. What follows is a low level of industrial development and environmental pollution. series of questions.
Obviously, in the reality where the dual land system in urban and rural areas coexists, the government must find a solution in the development relationship between cities, environment, industry and rural areas. Today's opening ceremony of the first phase of the New Light Source Industrial Base is Luocun's useful exploration to achieve a "win-win" situation of environmental improvement and industrial transformation.
Starting in 2007, Luocun planned to spend three years rectifying and shutting down 22 glass factories and 19 ceramic factories in the area within a time limit.
So far, 8 of the 22 glass factories have finally passed the inspection after renovation and improvement, while all 19 ceramic factories have been shut down. Subsequently, the leather industry and aluminum profile industry were also shut down within a time limit without exception.
Large-scale rectification and shutdown of polluting enterprises have freed up a lot of development space in Luocun. The relevant person in charge of the Luocun Sub-district Office estimated that through energy conservation and emission reduction and remediation along the Fenjiang River, more than 2,000 acres of old factories have been vacated in Luocun, mainly concentrated in the south of Luocun, accounting for 45% of the current stock of land in Luocun.
A solid foundation for the development of new light source industry.
The government needs to solve the contradiction between the industrial upgrading between the extensive development model of traditional industries and the modern industrial system, the contradiction between the saturation of urban land and the fragmented development of rural collective land, and the contradiction between the simple industrialization model in rural areas and The contradiction between urban and rural coordinated development and urban upgrading.
Luocun finally set its sights on the hot urban lighting industry. This choice is not unfounded.
As one of the most important traditional lighting source production and R&D bases in China, Foshan has a huge lighting industry cluster. At present, there are more than 400 companies involved in lighting and electric light sources in Foshan, and the industrial chain is relatively complete. At present, a lighting appliance industry cluster has been basically formed, led by a number of national and even world-leading enterprises such as Foshan Lighting, Osram, and Sherlite, and supported by Luocun Electric Light Source Lighting.
As a professional lighting town in Guangdong and a gathering place for the traditional lighting industry in Nanhai, there are nearly 100 lighting companies (including upstream and downstream companies) within its jurisdiction. Last year, the output value of the lighting and electric light source industry in Nanhai District was about 6 billion yuan, of which Luocun accounted for nearly half.
In addition to the strong industrial foundation, Luocun also has obvious transportation location advantages. High-grade roads such as Guangfo Expressway, Guangsan Expressway, Zhuhai Second Ring Expressway, Foshan First Ring Road, and Guidan Road intersect with each other; Foshan New Railway Station, Guangfo-Zhaoqing Railway, Guiyang-Guangzhou Railway Terminal, etc. are located in or Passing Luocun; it is only a 5-minute drive from Foshan Airport and 40 minutes from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, building a complete three-dimensional transportation network.
With good industrial foundation and transportation advantages, coupled with the broad development prospects of new light sources, Foshan New Light Source Industrial Base will demonstrate the strong and substantial economic advantages of the new light source industry chain in South China.
