At present, advanced manufacturing industry clusters have become an important support for promoting China's industrial transformation and high-quality economic development. Based on actual development of manufacturing industry clusters in China, it is imperative to make up for the shortcomings, cultivate a number of world-class advanced manufacturing industry clusters, and promote China's to the middle and high end of the global value chain.
World-class advanced manufacturing industry clusters refer to clusters with significant competitive advantages, innovation capabilities and influence in the world forming a highly concentrated, efficient division of labor and highly open regional industrial ecosystem through industrial chain synergy, resource sharing and innovation ecology construction. Generally speaking, world-class advanced industry clusters have strong competitiveness in the following aspects.
Competitiveness of spatial agglomeration. Manufacturing industry clusters evolve from point-like and block-like groupings local areas to combined groupings of belt-like and network-like; from local production, trade, innovation networks gradually deeply embedded in global networks, and become important nodes. This promotes the interweaving, in-depth integration and coupling co-existence of domestic value chains and global value chains, attracting a large number of high-quality enterprises to settle down and driving the high concentration of industrial chains in space.
