GDP3.46 trillion yuan, a year-on-year growth of 6.0%, is firmly in the national "Mr. 3 trillion" ranking. This is a good and substantial high-quality development "report card" delivered by Shenzhen in the past 2023.

High-quality development is the fundamental principle of the new era. Shenzhen takes the promotion of Chinese-style modernization as the biggest politics, focuses on the central work of economic construction and the primary task of high-quality development, adheres to scientific and technological self-reliance, develops new quality productive forces, promotes new industrialization, fully promotes high-quality development to achieve the best results, and resolutely takes the lead and bravely becomes the spearhead in promoting Chinese-style modernization.

What are the characteristics and connotations of Shenzhen's high-quality economic development? Shenzhen Special Zone daily reporter interview sorted out ten "hard force".

China's manufacturing sector has its own weight

Shenzhen has always adhered to the industrial city and the manufacturing industry. In 2023, Shenzhen's total industrial output value exceeded 4.8 trillion yuan, and the industrial added value increased by 6.2%, ranking the "double first" of the national city in two statistics, and continuing to sit firmly in China's "industrial first city".

High to achieve rapid growth, Shenzhen to accelerate the promotion of new industrialization, accelerate the construction of the world's leading important advanced manufacturing center.

In 2023, industrial investment will reach 233.83 billion yuan, an increase of 43.0%, and its proportion in fixed asset investment will rise to 23.6%.

Shenzhen formulated "18 articles" for high-quality development of new energy vehicles, and the output value of new energy vehicle manufacturing industry increased by 85.3%; During the year, five major industrial projects worth 10 billion yuan and 10 worth 3 billion yuan were started. We accelerated technological upgrading of industrial enterprises, supporting more than 1,200 enterprises to carry out technological upgrading throughout the year. Construction of 75 "industrial upstairs" projects began, exceeding the goal of building 20 million square meters of high-quality, economic and customized factory space.

Shenzhen implements manufacturing quality excellence projects, carries out "Made in Shenzhen" brand promotion actions, creates high-quality and high-value product matrix, promotes advanced quality management system standards, and supports enterprises to lead or participate in the formulation of international standards in subdivided industrial fields.

"Made in Shenzhen", "Shenzhen wisdom" and "Shenzhen creation" are becoming more and more shining labels of the city.

Scientific and technological innovation "nuclear power"

According to a recent European Union report on 2,500 major global enterprises, the total R&D spending of Chinese enterprises in 2022 ranks second in the world. Huawei, which will invest 20.9 billion euros in research and development in 2022, ranks first among Chinese enterprises and fifth among global enterprises.

Enhance the "core force" of scientific and technological innovation, and continuous R&D investment is the "hard power". Over the past decade, the proportion of R&D investment in Shenzhen's GDP has risen from 4.02% to 5.81%.

Shenzhen's innovation has "six 90%", that is, more than 90% of R & D institutions, R & D personnel, R & D funds are in the enterprise, more than 90% of the job invention patents and major science and technology project invention patents are from the enterprise. As the main body of scientific and technological innovation, the R&D investment of Shenzhen enterprises accounted for 94.9% of the total social R&D investment.

National high-tech enterprises continue to grow, more than 24,000 in 2023, 5.2 times that of 2014.

Innovation has a rich return, there is the motive force of continuous innovation. The "core force" of science and technology requires the "moat" of intellectual property protection. Shenzhen is the first national innovative city and the first batch of intellectual property demonstration cities in China, and has formulated and issued the country's first guidelines on punitive damages for intellectual property infringement. The "Shenzhen National Intellectual Property Protection Demonstration Zone Construction Plan" proposes that by 2025, a full-chain protection ecosystem will be built, a more solid protection line will be built, and a strong support will be provided for accelerating the construction of an industrial science and technology innovation center with global influence.
