Fri/Sat/Sun August 18~20, 2017 INDUSTRIEs i 03 THE innovation industrial parks in Bao’an District have made significant progress in recent years as the number of enterprises settled in the parks tripled from 1,647 in 2013 to 4,148 in 2016 over the course of four years. Taking innovation and entre- preneurship as valuable oppor- tunities, the Bao’an District Government has been actively rolling out favorable policies to invest, assist and build innova- tion industrial parks over the past few years. While boosting the progress of industrial upgrading in the district, these innovation parks also face challenges to better themselves in terms of service capacity, manage- ment, lack of high-tech parks, among other issues. To solve the existing problems, both governmental efforts and social forces are needed. Data provided by the Devel- opment Research Center of Bao’an show that there are cur- rently 61 innovation industrial parks in the district, including 45 technology parks and 16 makerspaces. The figure has grown by nearly 42 percent over the last four years. Most of the technology parks are targeting small and medium-sized firms that have a certain degree of market basis and makerspaces mainly focus- ing on providing services for startups that are still in their initial stages. As for the location of the industrial parks, nearly 60 percent of them are situated in Xixiang and Xin’an subdistricts, while the rest are scattered around Fuyong, Shajing, Song- gang and Shiyan subdistricts. Only about 10 percent of the industrial parks are in areas where high-tech and advanced manufacturing industries are located. Some experts sug- gested that more industrial parks should be built in and around Fuyong and Songgang subdistricts to take advantage of their resources in innova- tive industries. The research center’s state- ment echoed with expert sug- gestions that the layout of these industrial parks should be more balanced and be close to clusters of high-tech enterprises as well as transportation networks. Currently, the airport area in Bao’an is endeavoring to become a national trial zone for the booming airport economy. Song Ding, the head of a tour- ism and real estate research center under China (Shenzhen) Development Institute, said that the area would become an important commercial hub in the Greater Bay Area if the new airport area is going to be placed in Bao’an District. Taking suggestions from experts, the development research center in Bao’an advised the district to build a national air- port economy trial zone in five years’ time, embracing indus- trial clusters for aviation, logis- tics, high-tech services as well as advanced manufacturing. The center suggested that Bao’an should also take advan- tage of the improving transpor- tation networks in and around the district. However, the district is, at the same time, facing chal- lenges in recruiting high-end talents. A survey conducted earlier showed that 85 per- cent of the industrial parks in Bao’an District are struggling to hire professionals. According to the survey, nearly 70 percent were found to lack knowledge on new talent policies and that half of the parks were reported to be short of tal- ents with the capacities to operate the parks comprehensively. Thus, the research center urged the local government to issue more encouraging poli- cies to solicit talents with pro- fessional management skills. Working with universities and higher education institutions was also recommended by the research center.

The show, part of the “intel- ligent equipment manufactur- ing Shenzhen — innovative items show,” was aimed to pro- mote Shenzhen firms focusing on innovation. The show was also expected to give firms and residents in Britain a chance to gain a better understanding of Shenzhen’s intelligent equip- ment manufacturing and, at the same time, allow Shenzhen firms to gain a foothold in the international market, accord- ing to the report. The report said that organiz- ers of the show solicited inno- vative items from Shenzhen firms at the start of June and a total of 13 works of innovation, high technology and design were chosen as the finalists to Edinburgh.
