Innovation in leading industries

According to the Beibu Gulf Urban Agglomeration Development Plan (2017-20), which was approved by the State Council on Jan 20, 2017, the region will boost the innovative development of leading industries.

New generation of information technology

The Beibu Gulf Urban Agglomeration will give priority to the development of application service industries such as e-commerce, games and animation and service outsourcing, and industries supported by digital platform, such as big data, research and development (R&D) design, digital content, internet of things, geographic information and satellite navigation, and Internet Plus industries.

High-end equipment manufacturing

The region aims to cultivate high-end equipment manufacturing industries, which cover modern logistics equipment, agricultural equipment, aeronautics equipment, rail transit equipment, satellite applications, ultra-high voltage power transmission equipment, intelligent manufacturing equipment, high-efficiency internal combustion engine, wind power equipment, ocean engineering equipment, and optical, mechanical and electronic integration, as well as shipbuilding and ship repairing, desalination equipment, high-end shipping equipment, high-efficiency, energy-saving and environmental protection equipment, and high-end components.

Biological medicine

The region will strive to develop biological medicine industries, which include biological pharmacy, marine medical products, traditional Chinese medicines, ethnic medicines, and push forward the development of green bioprocess technology equipment.

New materials

Aiming to promote the development of a new materials industry, the region will attach great importance to new alloy materials, electronic information materials, rare earth functional materials, nanometer materials, new chemical materials, new building materials, and accelerate the development of graphene, ambrose alloy and new medical materials.

New energy

The region will develop nuclear energy safely and properly, and promote the orderly development of clean energy, such as wind energy, biomass energy and ocean energy, set up smart power grids and distributed energy resources, and encourage the development of combined heat and power generation.

Energy conservation and environmental protection

Energy-saving and environmental protection equipment, including air purification, seawater desalination and comprehensive utilization, and small sewage treatment equipment, will be promoted in the region, and the government will put more efforts into R&D of energy-saving and environmental protection agents used in water treatment, and solid waste degradation. At the same time, the region plans to speed up the research and application of some key techniques and achievements in circular utilization of resources.

New energy vehicles

The region aims to put emphasis on tackling core technologies, including motor drives, range extenders, charging facilities and battery management, as well as the development of vehicle manufacturing.
