Recently, the reporter learned from the Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology that, in the 2020 advanced manufacturing industry cluster competition organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there were 20 clusters selected as candidates in the selected bid nationwide, and Zhejiang alone won 5 seats, ranking first in the country.
The five advanced manufacturing clusters selected by Zhejiang this time are Hangzhou Digital Security Industry Cluster, Ningbo New Material Industry Cluster, Wenzhou Yueqing Electric Industry Cluster, Shaoxing Modern Textile Industry Cluster and Jinhua Modern Hardware Industry Cluster. Each cluster will receive a special subsidy of 10 million yuan from the central government due to its success in the preliminary competition of the cluster competition.
Zhejiang plans and acts early to build an advanced manufacturing base. As early as 2003, Zhejiang put forward “accelerating the construction of advanced manufacturing bases” in the “August 8th Strategy”. Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Zhejiang has taken the cultivation of advanced manufacturing industry clusters as the general starting point for promoting industrial transformation and upgrading and consolidating new manufacturing advantages. At present, Zhejiang has formed more than 80 industrial clusters with an annual output value of more than 10 billion yuan and 12 industrial clusters with an annual output value of more than 100 billion yuan, including more than 70 manufacturing clusters with a domestic market share of more than 30%.
In March this year, the provincial high-quality manufacturing development conference sounded the clarion call for Zhejiang to accelerate the construction of the “global advanced manufacturing base”. At the meeting, the Action Plan for Cultivating Advanced Manufacturing Industry Clusters in Zhejiang Province was released, proposing to build a “415” advanced manufacturing industry cluster construction system, and cultivate a number of superior manufacturing industry clusters with an output value of more than 100 billion yuan and strong influence at home and abroad.
