The event was held in Bao'an District, Shenzhen City, which is the industrial and manufacturing area of ​​Shenzhen. It is a place where national high-end enterprises and specialized and innovative companies gather.

A series of new explorations, new measures and new cooperation have once again demonstrated the strong momentum of Baoan as "the support pole and ballast stone of the Bay Area", adding a vivid footnote to Guangdong's "manufacturing industry" and Shenzhen's "manufacturing city".

The development of small and medium-sized enterprises is one of the focuses of the APEC Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Business Forum. As an industrial and manufacturing area in Shenzhen, Bao'an has nearly 500,000 companies, more than 99% of which are small and medium-sized enterprises. Whether it can effectively promote the healthy, sustainable and rapid development of small and medium-sized enterprises has become a key factor affecting the regional development of Bao'an. At the

forum, Wang Shourui, Secretary of the Baoan District Party Committee, gave a keynote speech entitled "Baoan Practice in the Cluster Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises". Compared with large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises are small in scale, weak in competitiveness, not highly branded, and have relatively decentralized operations. Based on the problem, Baoan vigorously carries out the practice of cluster development of small and medium-sized enterprises, launches "five measures", realizes "five transformations", and enhances the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises.

highlights policy guidance and guarantees, and promotes the transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises from "working alone" to "developing as a team". Bao'an has built a policy system, based on Shenzhen's "20+8" new industrial cluster deployment, and made every effort to strengthen the new industrial clusters. Six world-class industrial arrays, including semiconductors, integrated circuits, , and industrial motherboards, have gradually taken shape in Bao'an. Multiple industrial clusters worth hundreds of billions have emerged, including the intelligent terminal industry, safety, energy-saving and environmental protection industry, ultra-high-definition video display industry, and network and communications industry. In 2021, Baoan District Zhanxin Industrial Cluster achieved rapid growth of more than 14%.

creates an industrial space carrier to promote the transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises from "decentralized production" to "community linkage". Baoan plans to build a "4+N" industrial cluster spatial layout, focusing on the construction of four advanced manufacturing areas, Yanluo International Intelligent Manufacturing Eco-City, Shiyan Science and Technology Innovation City, Shenzhen-Hong Kong Advanced Manufacturing Cooperation Zone, and Xinqiao East Advanced Manufacturing Park, as well as a large number of "exquisite and specialized" high-quality parks to ensure efficient space supply.

increases the supply of high-quality services and promotes the transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises from "small and comprehensive" to "specialized, specialized and innovative". Baoan has firmly established the corporate service awareness of "responding to calls and responding to requests", established a direct platform for pro-Qing government and enterprise services, implemented brand building projects in depth, built a Baoan industry display and trading platform, promoted corporate collaboration, and jointly created regional brands.

Baoan has built an industrial Internet platform, promoted nearly 20,000 companies to migrate to the cloud platform, and given digital "flying wings" to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. In 2021, it was awarded the only five-star industrial Internet demonstration base in the country.

strengthens the empowerment of technological innovation and , and promotes the transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises from "individual breakthroughs" to "joint efforts to tackle key problems".Baoan has achieved collaborative innovation among large and medium-sized enterprises by establishing public technology service platforms, industrial technology innovation alliances and other innovation consortiums. So far, 540 industrial innovation platforms of various types have been built. Small and medium-sized enterprise clusters have contributed more than 80% of the region's patents and more than 96% of national high-tech enterprises, becoming a "new force" in industrial innovation.

On the afternoon of December 21, the "Forum on Cultivating Specialized, Specialized and New Enterprises and Promoting the Construction of Advanced Manufacturing Highlands" was held. This was also the first parallel forum with the theme of "Specialized, Specialized, Specialized and New" in the history of the APEC Forum, which strongly highlighted the irreplaceable importance of "Specialized, Specialized, Specialized and New" in the industrial development pattern.

Dr. Cao Zhongxiong, executive director of the New Economic Research Institute of China (Shenzhen) Comprehensive Development Research Institute, said that Baoan has more than 50,000 manufacturing companies, with a strong industrial foundation and a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises. This also prevents Baoan from forming an industrial path dependence. Medium small and micro enterprises are flourishing and diversified, providing an inexhaustible driving force for the continuous advancement of industrial development.

has become the "first zone for specialization, specialization and innovation", which is inseparable from the company's vigorous innovation ability and development vitality. For example, Shenzhen Qianxingda Technology Co., Ltd., which was among the third batch of "Little Giant" companies, was established in 2015 and is one of the top high-tech enterprises in the field of domestic traffic safety. Its CANSINGA-TMA is the only anti-collision cushion in China that has passed the most advanced international MASH-2016 standard testing and certification.

has become the "first district for specialization, specialization and innovation", which is also inseparable from the government's careful planning, deployment and support. In recent years, Baoan has gone all out to support the development of "specialized, special and new" enterprises, built a gradient cultivation system, expanded large-scale high-quality space, innovatively implemented the "cluster plan" for specialized, special and new enterprises, and promoted the high-end, intelligent and green development of manufacturing. In September this year, the country's first "Specialized, Specialized and New Headquarters Base" was unveiled at the Huizhi R&D Center in Bao'an District, with 16 national-level "Little Giant" companies signing contracts to settle in the base.

Today, "specialized, specialized and innovative" enterprises have become Baoan's "industrial business card". Among the 135 specialized and innovative "little giant" companies that has cultivated in Baoan, 5 have been listed on the market, 7 have been listed on the "New Third Board", and more than 30 companies have plans to go public with . The vast majority of the domestic market share has reached 30%, and the market share of 16 individual champion companies has reached the top three in the world. World-renowned brands such as Han's Laser and Unilumin Technology have emerged, becoming a new driving force supporting the high-quality economic development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

At the parallel forum "Cultivating Specialized and New Enterprises and Promoting the Construction of Advanced Manufacturing Highlands" held on the afternoon of the 21st, the "Beijing Stock Exchange Shenzhen Service Base" and the "Shenzhen Stock Exchange Small and Medium Enterprises Service Center" were grandly unveiled and officially landed in Bao'an.

Also in the afternoon, the Baoan District Industry and Information Technology Bureau, the School of Integrated Circuits and Electronics of Beijing Institute of Technology, and the Shenzhen Bay Area Small and Medium Enterprises International Innovation Exchange Center signed a tripartite strategic cooperation agreement. According to the agreement, the three parties will rely on location advantages, industrial advantages, technological advantages, and resource advantages to jointly build the Shenzhen Baoan-BIT Integrated Circuit and Electronic Innovation and Development Center, carry out investment promotion, talent introduction work, and empower Baoan District small and medium-sized enterprises to develop high-quality development.

The two activities revealed a strong signal that Baoan "seizes the 'time' and 'trend', accelerates the gathering of various resources, jointly promotes regional upgrading, and jointly creates a development blueprint."

At present, Bao'an is facing a window for leapfrog development. With the implementation of major strategies such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen Pilot Demonstration Zone, and Qianhai "Expansion Area", Bao'an's strategic position continues to be highlighted, becoming an important support pole for the "Golden Inner Bay" around the Pearl River Estuary, entering the core area of ​​the Shenzhen metropolitan area, and starting a period of rapid development of spatial reconstruction, positioning reshaping, and pattern reorganization.

In the first three quarters of this year, the total industrial output value of Baoan's regulated industries reached 691.3 billion yuan, an increase of 1.7%, and the total volume remained first in the city; the added value of the industrial enterprises above designated scale reached 154.3 billion yuan, an increase of 5.1%, and the total volume jumped to the first place in the city. It is a veritable industrial "basic market" in Shenzhen.

In the ranking of the top 100 districts in the country, Baoan ranks second in innovation, third in investment competitiveness, fourth in industry, and fifth in comprehensive strength, with strong development momentum. At the

forum, Wang Shourui, Secretary of the Bao’an District Party Committee, also issued an invitation to “come to Bao’an” from all walks of life: “Today’s Bao’an is full of stages, opportunities, and bustling scenes. It is full of vitality and has become a hot spot for entrepreneurship and creation and a home for a better life. "Wang Shourui said, "We welcome entrepreneurs, investors, scientists and all kinds of talents to enter Bao'an, choose Bao'an, and take root in Bao'an. Bao'an's future is worthy of trust and will definitely live up to expectations!"
