since the beginning of this year, guangdong's new products, new business models and new industries such as new energy vehicles, integrated circuits, cross-border e-commerce, industrial robots and low-altitude economy have been showing good momentum. in the first eight months, guangdong's foreign trade accounted for more than 20% of the national total, and its economic scale in the first half of the year accounted for more than 1/10 of the national total.
as the vanguard, forerunner and experimental zone of reform and opening up, guangdong aims to "recreate a new guangdong", seizes the opportunities of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, unswervingly promotes high-quality development, and strives to be at the forefront in promoting china's modernization.

in the first half of this year, guangdong achieved a regional gdp of 6,524.25 billion yuan, accounting for more than 10% of the national economic output, and its economic scale continued to lead the country.
——the manufacturing industry continues to "innovate" and bring new growth. in the intelligent robot manufacturing technology park in beijiao town, shunde district, foshan, an industrial robot is assembled in less than 30 minutes. at present, robot industry giants such as kuka, fanuc, and kawasaki have taken root in foshan, and local "newcomers" such as longshen and jiateng are also emerging. according to statistics from foshan customs, in the first eight months of this year, foshan's industrial robot exports were about 220 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 44.1%.
according to data from the guangdong provincial bureau of statistics, from january to july this year, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in guangdong province was 2.29 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.7%, higher than the gdp growth rate, becoming the main driving force for economic growth.
——high growth in foreign trade has become an important force in the growth of foreign trade nationwide. foreign trade is the most eye-catching area in guangdong's economic data in the first half of this year. according to statistics from the guangdong branch of the general administration of customs, in the first half of this year, guangdong's foreign trade imports and exports reached 4.37 trillion yuan, a record high for the same period in history, an increase of 13.8% over the same period last year, 7.7 percentage points higher than the national average, accounting for 20.6% of the national total, and contributing more than 40% of the growth of national foreign trade in the first half of the year.
cross-border e-commerce performed outstandingly. according to the guangdong provincial department of commerce, the province's cross-border e-commerce imports and exports reached 427.34 billion yuan in the first half of this year. from 2015 to 2023, the average annual growth rate of guangdong's cross-border e-commerce imports and exports was as high as 71.4%, accounting for more than 1/3 of the country's cross-border e-commerce imports and exports. guangzhou, shenzhen and foshan's annual cross-border e-commerce imports and exports exceeded 100 billion yuan.
——new industries continue to open up new growth space. on the 13th, the flying car company xiaopeng huitian completed a cross-river flight demonstration from guangzhou tower to haixinsha in the core area of guangzhou. this is also the first low-altitude flight route in the urban area to be opened in guangzhou. in shenzhen, meituan drones have opened more than 30 delivery routes and completed more than 300,000 orders.
yang xijiang, chairman of the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area low-altitude economic industry alliance, said that the low-altitude economic industrial chain is gradually taking shape in the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area, and two "low-altitude economic cross-belts" are gradually forming. one is a productive financial service belt with hong kong, macao and shenzhen as the core; the other is a production manufacturing service belt with guangzhou, zhuhai and foshan as the core. the "low-altitude economic circle" has a promising future and has opened up new space for sustained economic growth.
accelerate the mutual promotion of industry and technology and promote high-quality development
guangdong will accelerate the mutual promotion of industry and technology and the development of new quality productivity as a strategic move and long-term strategy, and strive to promote high-quality development supported by the real economy.

the person in charge of the guangdong provincial department of human resources and social security, who led the team, said that the outstanding performance of the guangdong players not only reflects the effectiveness of guangdong province in building a team of high-skilled talents, but also reflects the extensive and in-depth application of new technologies in guangdong's industrial development.
guangdong is a major manufacturing province. in 2023, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size exceeded 4 trillion yuan for the first time, and the revenue of industrial enterprises above designated size exceeded 18 trillion yuan, accounting for about 1/8 of the country. in terms of the application and promotion of new technologies, it has rich application scenarios and fertile soil for development.

technological innovation is the driving force for the development of enterprises and industries. shenzhen zhongjin lingnan technology co., ltd. (zhongjin technology), a subsidiary of guangsheng holding group co., ltd., was selected into the list of the sixth batch of "little giants" enterprises of specialization, precision and innovation by the ministry of industry and information technology. lv yongzhong, chairman of guangsheng holding group co., ltd., said that in the past three years, zhongjin technology has invested more than 150 million yuan in the development of new products, new processes and new technologies, with an average annual r&d investment of more than 4.7%. the company has become one of the world's important alkaline battery zinc powder suppliers.
ai xuefeng, director of the guangdong provincial development and reform commission, said that the construction of scientific and technological infrastructure and industrial projects will be strengthened, and efforts will be made to "lay eggs along the way" in the construction and operation of large facilities to serve industrial development. at the same time, the system and mechanism innovation of the integrated development of science and technology and industry will be promoted, and the deep integration of the innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain and talent chain will be promoted to create a more dynamic innovation ecology.
deepen reform and opening up with the construction of the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area as the driving force
during the mid-autumn festival this year, hengqin port welcomed a peak in passenger flow. since the line management policy came into effect on march 1 this year, macau residents can pass through the border with one foot, and the convenience of traveling between hengqin and macau has been significantly improved.

guangdong continues to demonstrate its role as a “vanguard” in deepening reform and opening up by driving the construction of the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area.
——high-level opening-up is more powerful. on september 4, the station building, telecommunications cabinet room and substation of the first phase of exxonmobil huizhou ethylene project successfully passed the joint acceptance. wei jiekai, global senior vice president of exxonmobil, said that the company is firmly optimistic about the development prospects of guangdong and the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area.

the total economic output of the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area has continued to rise, from over 10 trillion yuan in 2018 to over 14 trillion yuan in 2023. with less than 0.6% of the country's land area, it has created 1/9 of the country's total economic output.
as a frontier of reform and opening up, guangdong is a window for investment, trade, exchanges and interactions, and a window for foreign countries to observe china and chinese-style modernization. zheng yongnian, dean of the qianhai institute of international affairs of the chinese university of hong kong (shenzhen), said that building the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area and focusing on activating the three major driving forces of reform, opening up and innovation will promote guangdong to make greater contributions to the new journey of chinese-style modernization.
