We held the 2019 Shenzhen Global Investment Promotion Conference, sincerely invite outstanding enterprises at home and abroad to jointly seize the major historical opportunities of building the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and supporting Shenzhen to build a “dual-zone driving” demonstration zone with Chinese characteristics, share the development dividends of Shenzhen’s reform and opening up in the new era, ride the boat of cooperation, and create a better future together! Here, on behalf of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the guests! I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the entrepreneurs who have been paying attention to, selected, supported, and taken root in Shenzhen for a long time!
Today, I am a investment promotion specialist. Here, let me share with you the Shenzhen I understand and the Shenzhen in my mind.
Shenzhen was the first special economic zone established by Comrade Xi Zhongxun, the first secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, when he was in charge of Guangdong, and Comrade Deng Xiaoping, the chief designer of China’s reform and opening up, personally decided to establish. Over the past 40 years, Shenzhen has rapidly developed from a border town to an international and innovative city, becoming the earliest special economic zone in China to implement reform and opening up, have the greatest influence, and have the best construction. It is also recognized as the best development special economic zone among the more than 4,000 special economic zones in the world.
Today’s Shenzhen is an important window to show the world the achievements of China’s reform and opening up, and it is also an important window for the international community to observe China’s reform and opening up. In recent years, all sectors of the world and society have paid close attention to Shenzhen and are looking for Shenzhen from different levels and perspectives.The genetic code of miracle explores future development directions. In my work and life every day in my Shenzhen, I am constantly understanding, thinking and planning for Shenzhen. The longer I come into contact with it, the deeper I understand it, the more I feel that this is a city full of charm, motivation, vitality and innovation. The more I feel that this is a hot land for doing things and starting a business, a hot land with great potential, and a hot land with unlimited prospects! I am full of pride in Shenzhen’s past and I am full of confidence in Shenzhen’s future!
This pride and confidence comes from Cinema in Shenzhen is a city where reforms and opening up continues. Shenzhen is a city born due to reform and opening up, prospered by reform and opening up, and is strong because of reform and opening up. It has created more than a thousand institutional and mechanism reforms “China’s No. 1”. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, President Xi Jinping’s first stop of his inspection trip from Beijing came to Shenzhen and Qianhai. He visited Shenzhen again in October last year, demonstrating to the world China’s firm will to never stop reform and opening up. In recent years, we have continuously stimulated market vitality by comprehensively deepening reforms, comprehensively expanding opening up. We regard the reform of the business environment as the “No. 1 reform project” of the municipal party committee and government, and have issued the “20 articles” of the business environment reform, achieving more than 160 “second approvals” and more than 460 “face-to-face approvals”. The approval time for government-invested engineering construction projects has been shortened from 90 days last year to 41 days this year. We have implemented measures such as supporting the development of the private economy and reducing costs of industrial and commercial electricity. It is expected to reduce the burden on enterprises by 140 billion yuan this year. We have created a “4+2+2+2” housing supply and security system in the country with multiple subject supply, multi-channel guarantee, and rental and purchase, which is what everyone calls “Shenzhen’s second housing reform”. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, 400,000 public housing units will be built and raised, and 1.7 million units will be completed by 2035, effectively solving the housing needs of all kinds of people, including corporate employees. We give full play to the role of an important open platform for Qianhai Shekou Free Trade Zone, expand foreign investment market access in a wider range of areas, fully implement the pre-entry national treatment plus negative list management system, and promote all-round opening up to the outside world in modern service industry, manufacturing industry, and financial industry. What are the achievements of the company’s development in Shenzhen? The market should have the final say, the company has the final say, and the entrepreneurial friends have the final say. There is a set of data that may answer this question to some extent. As of the end of November this year, there were 3.24 million commercial entities in Shenzhen, including more than 2 million enterprises. In recent years, Shenzhen has added an average of 200,000 companies every year, and Shenzhen’s number of commercial entities and entrepreneurship density remain the first in the country. This fully demonstrates ShenzhenThe vitality and attractiveness of the economy.
Cinema This pride and confidence comes from Shenzhen being a city that is brave and good at innovation. Innovation is the first driving force for leading development. When the “three come and one supplement” industry was still very popular, Shenzhen took the initiative to break the path dependence, take the lead in transforming and upgrading, and explore and develop high-tech industries. In recent years, we have insisted on taking innovation-driven as the dominant strategy of urban development, and have built a full-process innovation ecosystem chain of “babaylan + technical research + achievement industrialization + science and technology finance”, focusing on urban innovation shortcomings, focusing on investment layout; focusing on independent innovation of enterprises, focusing on support and help. We plan and build Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, Guangming Science City, Xilihu International Science and Education City with high standards, build Pengcheng Laboratory, Shenzhen Bay Laboratory and other major scientific research institutions at a high level, adhere to the whole country, the province and the city, scientifically plan the industrial layout of Shenzhen’s national independent innovation demonstration zone, and start the construction of Shenzhen’s new national artificial intelligence innovation development pilot zone, becoming the first city in the country to form an independent 5G network. 45,000 5G base stations will be built in August next year, achieving full coverage of the entire city, and will provide R&D application scenarios for the vast number of innovative and entrepreneurs. Shenzhen is accelerating the construction of a comprehensive national science center with the responsibility of the main position. We have invested by the government to establish the first angel investment guidance mother fund of 5 billion yuan in the country, and established 39 sub-funds with related institutions, leveraging nearly 7 billion yuan in social capital, supporting and investing in more than 70 angel projects of start-up high-tech enterprises, effectively solving the problem of insufficient financial support for start-up enterprises, and fully leveraging the institutional advantages of socialism with Chinese characteristics and concentrating our efforts on major tasks. We adhere to problem-oriented approach and align with the international community. We deepen the reform of the science and technology system from the preparation and review of project guidelines, and implement the “reward system” of project recommendation and the “invitation system” of review experts. No longer randomly select experts from the expert database, we will select review experts around the world based on the professional fields of the reviewed projects in a targeted manner, and implement an internationally in line with the “main-level review system” of project review and a “lug-in system” of project funding, so that R&D activities fully reflect respect for knowledge and talents, and are more in line with scientific laws. Since last year, we have allocated no less than 30% of the science and technology finance funds every year to invest in basic research and applied basic research, and this year we have invested 4.8 billion yuan, accounting for the city’s fiscal science and technology investment.37%, driving the whole society’s R&D investment in 2018 was 116.4 billion yuan. Currently, there are 2,260 innovation carriers of various types in our city. The number of PCT international patent applications has remained above 34.8% of the country for many years, ranking first among cities in the country for 100 consecutive years, and the maintenance rate of valid invention patents for more than five years ranks first among cities in the country. Shenzhen National High-tech Zone ranked second in the country. This year, the national high-tech enterprises are expected to reach 17,000, and continue to rank second among cities in the country. President Xi Jinping pointed out that Shenzhen’s high-tech industry development has become a banner of the country and we must play a demonstration and leading role. This is the honor of the city of Shenzhen, and it is also the honor of all Shenzhen enterprises and entrepreneurs.
This pride and confidence come from Shenzhen being an open and inclusive city. Shenzhen is an immigrant city, developed by the continuous gathering of outstanding talents from the international and domestic areas, innovation and entrepreneurship, and hard work. The city has a permanent population of 13 million, with an average age of 32 years old. They come from more than 170 countries and cover 56 ethnic groups in China. This is Shenzhen’s valuable wealth and important competitiveness. In recent years, we have adhered to the talent-first development strategy, attracted talents with a more competitive system, gathered talents with major scientific research platforms, and used talents with market-oriented approaches to establish Shenzhen Talent Day and Shenzhen Entrepreneur Day to create a strong atmosphere of respecting knowledge, talents and entrepreneurs in the whole society. The city’s attractiveness to talents has been continuously enhanced. Last year, the city added 500,000 new population, of which 285,000 fresh university graduates and various talents were graduates. At present, the total number of talents of all kinds in the city reached 5.48 million, accounting for 44.5% of the permanent population. Shenzhen’s rich talent resources are becoming an outstanding advantage of Shenzhen’s innovative development, and Shenzhen’s outstanding enterprises have become an important carrier for cities to attract talents. We always open our arms to all kinds of talents at home and abroad, “I love the talents in Komiks, I’m waiting for you in Shenzhen”!
This pride and confidence come from the fact that Shenzhen is a city that is constantly improving and improving. We insist on taking the people’s yearning for a better life as our goal. Shenzhen Komiks has the world’s third largest container port, the largest land port in Asia, and one of the five major airline ports in China. It will have 60 international passenger transport cities by the end of the year, making it an international comprehensive transportation hub. World-renowned institutions such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Sun Yat-sen University, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Moscow University have successively run schools here. The construction of high-level universities such as Shenzhen University and Southern University of Science and Technology has accelerated.Shenzhen University of Technology has recruited students independently for the first time this year. The Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Cancer Hospital, Fuwai Hospital, the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Hong Kong University Shenzhen Hospital, Sami International Medical Center, and Hong Kong Famous Medical Clinics have opened in Shenzhen one after another. Shenzhen citizens can go to famous schools and see famous doctors at their doorstep. Shenzhen is an “international garden city”, “national forest city” and “the first batch of innovation demonstration zones for national sustainable development agenda”. It is the first in the country to realize the electrification of buses and taxis, and the first pilot project to implement the electrification of engineering vehicles. The average concentration of PM2.5 is 26 micrograms/cubic meter, which is close to the EU standard. Next year, if our standard reaches 25 micrograms per cubic meter, it will meet the EU standard. We have steadily promoted garbage classification work and were selected as the national pilot project of “waste-free city” construction. Since 2016, the city has invested a total of 120 billion yuan in water pollution control funds, taking the lead in the country to achieve the elimination of black and odorous water bodies in the entire city by the end of this year. The city’s greening coverage rate reaches 45%. Shenzhen has thousands of parks and nearly 2,500 kilometers of urban greenways. Blue sky, clear water and green space will become the norm in Shenzhen. Shenzhen is the “City of Design”, “City of Library”, “City of Piano”, “City of Love” and “City of Reading”. Shenzhen has been named “National Civilized City” for five consecutive times. We are now striving to create a civilized city for six consecutive championships. Today, Shenzhen has become a city that is suitable for living, business and tourism.
Since this year, facing a complex situation where domestic and foreign risks and challenges have increased significantly, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, we have maintained strategic determination and done a solid job in the “six stability” work. Shenzhen’s economy has maintained overall stability, made steady progress, and achieved steady improvement in quality. In the first three quarters of this year, the city’s GDP was 1.87 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.6%, and the local general public budget revenue reached 293.9 billion yuan, an increase of 4.6%. The proportion of advanced manufacturing in the industry and modern service industry in the service industry both exceeded 70%. The total profit of Shenzhen’s industrial enterprises above the designated size increased by 18.5%. This shows that Shenzhen’s economic development has shown strong resilience, Shenzhen’s economic development has shown a trend of high-quality development, and Shenzhen’s economy has begun to embark on the road of high-quality sustainable development.
Every era has its mission, and every city has its opportunities. In February this year, the “Opinions of the Development Plan of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area” was officially announced to the public. In August this year, the “Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Supporting Shenzhen in Building a Pilot Demonstration Zone for Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” was officially issued. This is another major historical opportunity that Shenzhen has ushered in after establishing a special economic zone, and it is also a major historical opportunity for outstanding enterprises at home and abroad to seize the opportunity and develop and grow. It is a major historical opportunity that we face and need to seize in the new era.
