Guangdong is continually revealing cutting-edge technologies, injecting confidence into the province's industrial advancement. Among these innovations are the world's first whole-body 5.0T MRI scanner, domestically manufactured single-port laparoscopic surgical robot SP1000, the first homegrown high-resolution 3D color ultrasound machine R9, EHang's EH216-S—the world’s first passenger-carrying UVA system that has obtained Type Certificate and standard Airworthiness Certificate for pilotless passenger-carrying eVTOL aircraft, and XAG's agricultural drone, honored as a national champion in the manufacturing sector.

In recent years, Guangdong has transitioned from the leading province in traditional automobiles to the largest province for new energy vehicles. The automotive industry serves as a microcosm of Guangdong's advancement in new quality productive forces. In 2022, the industry marked a significant milestone by surpassing a trillion yuan in turnover for the first time, establishing itself as the eighth industry cluster in Guangdong with a trillion-yuan output value. By 2023, the province's production of new energy vehicles soared to 2.5318 million units, comprising 26.8% of the national total and witnessing a remarkable year-on-year growth of 83.3%. Notably, for every four new energy vehicles produced in China, one proudly bears the label "Made in Guangdong."

As far back as 2020, Guangdong set forth plans for ten strategic pillar industry clusters and ten strategic emerging industry clusters. Presently, the added value generated by these 20 strategic industry clusters contributes 40% to the province's GDP. Among them, eight trillion-yuan-level industry clusters have taken shape, including new-generation electronic information, green petrochemicals, intelligent home appliances, advanced materials, modern light industry and textiles, software and information services, modern agriculture, foodstuffs, and autos.

Recently, Guangdong's industrial economy has experienced a promising start, marked by accelerated industrial production and investment. According to the latest data from the Bureau of Statistics of Guangdong Province, the added value of industries above the designated size in the province reached 0.55 trillion yuan from January to February, 2024, reflecting a noteworthy year-on-year increase of 10.6%. Notably, the output of mobile phones, integrated circuits, and optoelectronic devices surged by 42.9%, 56.6%, and 38.1%, respectively. Furthermore, industrial investment rose by 26.3% year-on-year, with significant investments observed in advanced manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing, soaring by 26% and 38.1% respectively.

Known as the "world's factory," Guangdong boasts a robust industrial foundation. This strength serves as the backbone for the province's strategic planning in emerging industries. For instance, the industry of new-generation electronic information stands as the province's largest pillar industry, dominating the national industry scale. In the realm of high-end equipment manufacturing clusters, components like numerical control systems, rails, and electric spindles lead domestically. In the frontier of new materials industry clusters, overall industry development ranks at the forefront nationwide. Moreover, the rapid development of the new energy industry cluster has emerged as a significant highlight in the province's industrial landscape.

Amidst ongoing waves of technological transformation, new industries are being birthed. Sora, OpenAI's new text-to-video generator released in 2024, has reverberated across the global tech community. SpaceX's Starship megarocket completed its stunning third unmanned flight test, while the world's first unmanned "air taxi" makes its debut on Taobao's industrial products platform. Beyond these significant milestones, Guangdong is observing the rise of industry-leading enterprises like UBTECH, CASIC Aerospace, and EHang in future intelligent equipment sectors such as humanoid robots and aerospace. 

With pioneering Guangdong enterprises breaking through barriers, the future is swiftly becoming a tangible reality.

不断涌现的尖端科技彰显广东产业发展底气

全球首款5.0T人体全身磁共振仪、实现国产替代的单孔腔镜手术机器人SP1000、国产首台高清晰度三维脏器彩超R9、获全球首张无人驾驶载人eVTOL航空器的型号合格证和标准适航证的亿航智能EH216-S、入选国家级制造业单项冠军的极飞科技农业无人机……这些不断涌现的尖端科技是广东产业发展的底气所在。

从汽车第一大省成长为新能源汽车第一大省，汽车产业是广东新质生产力发展的一个缩影：2022年，整个产业首次实现超万亿元营业收入，成为广东第八个产值超万亿元的产业集群；到了2023年，全省新能源汽车产量达253.18万辆，占到全国的26.8%，产量同比增长83.3%，全国每4辆新能源汽车就有一辆是“广东造”。

早在2020年，广东就提出要发展十大战略性支柱产业集群，培育十大战略性新兴产业集群。如今，广东20个战略性产业集群增加值占GDP比重达四成，已形成新一代电子信息、绿色石化、智能家电、先进材料、现代轻工纺织、软件与信息服务、现代农业与食品、汽车等8个万亿元级产业集群。

近期，广东工业经济更是迎来“开门红”，工业生产和工业投资双双加速。根据广东省统计局的最新数据，今年1-2月，全省规模以上工业增加值0.55万亿元，同比增长10.6%。从产品来看，手机、集成电路、光电子器件产量分别增长42.9%、56.6%、38.1%；工业投资同比增长26.3%，先进制造业和高技术制造业投资分别增长26%、38.1%。

“世界工厂”产业基础过“硬”，是广东谋划这些未来产业的底气，如新一代电子信息产业作为全省第一大支柱产业，产业规模全国第一；高端装备制造集群方面数控系统、导轨、电主轴环节处于国内领先水平；前沿新材料产业集群方面，产业发展整体水平处于国内第一梯队；新能源产业集群产业规模实现较快发展，成为全省产业发展的较大亮点。

当前，一波波技术变革，正在催生新的产业。Open AI 今年发布的文生视频模型 Sora 震撼全球科技圈，SpaceX 星舰的第三次无人飞行测试，全球首台无人驾驶“空中的士”上架淘宝工业品……记者注意到，在人形机器人、空天装备等未来智能装备细分领域，广东也涌现出优必选、中科宇航、亿航等一批行业领先的骨干企业。

一批批领军粤企的“突围”，让“未来”加速照进现实。
