During the National Day holiday, tourists from all over the country flocked to Shenzhen, with crowds flocking to Window of the World, Happy Valley, Talent Park, and Dutch Flower Town. However, even if they "clock in" on site, many people are not aware that these famous scenic spots across the country belong to the same administrative jurisdiction of Shenzhen. Not long ago, a company located in this urban area, Shenzhen Youke Interactive Technology Co., Ltd., just staged a large-scale commercial legend. Its first domestically produced "3A" game, "Black Myth: Wukong," sold over ten million copies and attracted widespread attention. Drive southeast from Shenzhen Bao'an Airport for about half an hour to enter Nanshan District. On the banks of the azure coast, towering skyscrapers stand tall in the technology park, and colorful neon lights twinkle in the central area of Houhai. Under its modern charm, the innovative vitality inherent in this land is astonishing. Nanshan District, with a land area of about 1/10 of Shenzhen, is the birthplace of the epoch-making "Shekou Model". Up to now, Nanshan has been ranked first among the top 100 innovation zones in China for seven consecutive years. Against the backdrop of a severe and complex international environment and economic cycle, the GDP of Nanshan still reached 449.5 billion yuan in the first half of this year, a year-on-year increase of 5%, and is expected to approach one trillion yuan for the whole year... How can the "big guy" continue to unleash "big energy"? In 2023, Nanshan, the place with the highest density of listed companies in China, achieved a regional GDP of 856.6 billion yuan and created an economic output of over 4 billion yuan per square kilometer. A large number of technology companies have broken free from cocoons here and gone global. As of now, there are 586000 operating entities in Nanshan District, which is equivalent to one operating entity for every three permanent residents; There are over 5000 national high-tech enterprises and 214 listed companies both domestically and internationally, with an average of over 1 listed company per square kilometer, making it the place with the highest density of listed companies in China. There are three highs for listed companies in Nanshan District: private enterprises account for a high proportion of 86%; High content of technological innovation, with over 70% being technology-based enterprises; The quality of enterprise development is high, with about 75% of enterprises concentrated in strategic emerging industries such as the new generation information technology industry, high-end equipment manufacturing industry, and biotechnology industry. The characteristic of Nanshan's economy is that the word "new" is the most prominent. Once, Tencent and other enterprises seized the development opportunity of instant messaging. The Internet and software industry represented by Tencent accounted for about 30% of Nanshan's total economy; Nowadays, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is booming. Data shows that as of July 30th this year, the total number of AI companies in Nanshan District has exceeded 1300, an increase of over 400 compared to the end of last year. At the second advanced manufacturing base of NIO, a "new force" car company, the industrial robot WalkerS developed by Nanshan Enterprise Ubiquitous is "interning" in the final assembly workshop to assist manual operations. With the deep integration of robots and artificial intelligence technology, our products will also accelerate the large-scale application in multiple fields such as smart logistics, smart health care, and commercial services, "said Tan Min, Chief Brand Officer of Ubiquitous. In June of this year, well-known drone manufacturing company DJI announced that it had completed high-altitude transportation tests on the Nepalese side of Mount Everest, setting a record for the highest altitude transportation of civilian drones. In the future, drones are expected to build "air emergency transportation channels" in high-altitude areas and other places. Not only is the new economy surging, but the traditional economy is also expanding its territory through transformation and upgrading. Nanshan Industry, which accounts for about 30% of the total economy, continues to expand into new scenarios, applications, and technologies. Statistics show that the added value of large-scale industries in Nanshan increased by 9.4% year-on-year in the first half of the year. Why 'can'? On the basis of a large scale, steady progress is being made, and there is a surge of "new" momentum in the industry. Why is Nanshan "able"? Firstly, this land is rich in the genes of reform and opening up, and has a strong atmosphere of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship. Time is money, efficiency is life Launching the "first cannon" of China's reform and opening up, implementing 24 national "first" institutional reform measures, and under the leadership of the first generation of entrepreneurs, Shekou Industrial Zone has carried out a series of reform and opening up explorations, creating the prototype of a "special economic zone with Chinese characteristics". The people of Nanshan have inherited the pioneering qualities of "innovation" and "creativity". Household appliance enterprises Konka and Skyworth, Internet enterprises Tencent, mobile phone manufacturers Kejian and Median, communication equipment manufacturers Huawei and ZTE... Every 10 years, representative innovative enterprises have emerged in Nanshan. Dare to 'eat crabs', let the people of Nanshan step on the beat, find their place, and seize the opportunity. The gathering of enterprises has formed a continuously improving, updating, and extending industrial chain, which has strengthened the resilience of the local economy. For example, in recent years, the low altitude economic industry in Nanshan has been thriving. Without leaving Nanshan District, a complete drone can be manufactured, "said Yang Dan, director of the Nanshan District Development and Reform Bureau. The local area has over 500 low altitude economic enterprises with an annual output value of over 55 billion yuan, forming a complete drone industry chain integrating research and development, manufacturing, operation, and service. Secondly, local governments have created a "tropical rainforest" industrial ecosystem and created a favorable business environment. In 2022, Nanshan will launch its first "1+4+N" industrial support policy system, covering areas such as technological innovation, life sciences, integrated circuits, high-end manufacturing, and headquarters enterprises. Subsequently, four special policies were added, including low altitude economy, new energy, artificial intelligence, and digital economy. Statistics show that since 2012, the industrial support policies in Nanshan District have cumulatively allocated about 20 billion yuan in support funds, supported over 63000 projects, and benefited nearly 35000 enterprises. Qiu Chunxin, who graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), founded Sagitar Juchuang. The laser radar developed by him is known as the "eye" of automotive autonomous driving and has broad market prospects. However, with the development of the enterprise, the problem of insufficient office space has become increasingly prominent, leaving Qiu Chunxin at a loss. He tried to seek help from the district government's enterprise service center and received calls from multiple departments the next day, quickly coordinating the planning of parking spaces, testing routes, and equipment placement locations. From seeking help to settling in, it only took 3 months. As of April 2024, in the implementation of the "Ten Thousand Cadres Assisting Enterprises" policy in Shenzhen, nearly ten thousand cadres in Nanshan District have contacted and serviced enterprises above designated size, and have handled over 4000 enterprise appeals in total. The company has moved several times since its establishment more than 20 years ago, but it has always been near Nanshan Science and Technology Park and doesn't want to leave Tang Changmao, Chairman of Yibo Technology, the 200th listed company in Nanshan District, said. Nanshan, the place where dreams and miracles are most easily born, is moving towards the goal of accelerating the construction of a world-class innovative coastal central urban area. Climbing to a high position is not easy, and some 'growing pains' need to be resolved. As the core urban area of a first tier city, Nanshan faces a shortage of industrial land. To this end, Nanshan has "stacked up" the industrial park through "industrial upstairs". Going up and down stairs means' upstream and downstream '. The Nanshan Honghualing "Industrial Upstairs" project, which is accelerating, will introduce freight transportation into the second, fifth, and ninth levels of platforms through a circular ramp and elevated road model. Heavy equipment and production lines can be "elevated" to achieve "multi story" factory buildings, maximizing the satisfaction of production needs from multiple industries. Connect the innovation chain and tap into the potential for the future. Nanshan is coordinating and promoting the integrated reform of education, technology, and talent systems and mechanisms. Li Zexiang, founder of Shenzhen University of Science and Technology Innovation, said that the college promotes the exploration of "new engineering education" through collaboration with universities, closely cooperates with industrial parks and investment institutions, and provides more assistance to entrepreneurs. Chen Congyi, the founder of the Intelligent Portable Sports Recovery Equipment project, said that he started his own business after graduation and found like-minded teammates in the "Entrepreneurship Circle" of the Science and Technology Innovation College. The college provided guidance and support in team building, product definition, supply chain, and funding, ultimately helping him build a comprehensive solution that can form a commercial closed loop. According to statistical data, in 2023, Nanshan District will have 471 new national high-tech enterprises and 93 national level specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises. Expanding economic growth requires institutional innovation. Nanshan will establish a "chain transformation" mechanism to support the upgrading of traditional industries towards high-end, intelligent, and green development, and carry out the "artificial intelligence+", "robot+", and "precision instrument and equipment+" empowerment action for thousands of industries. Focusing on emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, low altitude economy, new energy, and life sciences, we will increase our scene layout and cultivate future industries. In the complex international situation, the "innovation highland" faces the challenge of hindered scientific research cooperation. Primitive innovation relies on self-reliance. In the Xili Lake International Science and Education City located in the northern area of Nanshan District, universities such as Tsinghua University Shenzhen International Graduate School, Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School, Southern University of Science and Technology, as well as research institutions such as Pengcheng Laboratory gather. The Zero One College and other campuses have landed, gathering more than half of Shenzhen's full-time academicians and over 1100 national high-tech enterprises. On September 27th, in the night sky of Shenzhen Bay, with the constantly changing formation of drones, the digital "giant" strode forward and pushed open the "door to the world". Amidst widespread attention, the image logo of Nanshan District's urban area has been officially released, declaring Nanshan's determination to "never stop". Nanshan, bravely climbing the peak, with fast hooves and steady steps, continues to interpret the story of spring. (New Society)
