Guangdong's manufacturing industry is transitioning from traditional methods to cutting-edge technologies, empowering new drivers of growth through "intelligent manufacturing." As a national leader in the industry, Guangdong encompasses all 31 major manufacturing sectors and is fostering new growth points in fields such as artificial intelligence, advanced energy storage, and commercial aviation. The province is also targeting emerging industries like electronic information, intelligent equipment, and life sciences.

Zou Yongbing, chief economist at the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Guangdong Province, highlighted significant achievements. Last year, Guangdong's new energy vehicle (NEV) production accounted for one-quarter of the national total, while strategic emerging industry clusters such as semiconductors and advanced new materials recorded value-added growth exceeding 10%, marking substantial progress in industrial upgrading. In Dongguan's Songshan Lake, Ramaxel, a leader in China's memory market, is at the forefront of innovation. Company representative Jia Zongming explained that the firm is shifting focus from manufacturing to research and development(R&D), enhancing competitiveness through intelligent transformation. "With 5G networks, we have achieved full connectivity in our production processes, enabling real-time monitoring and risk prediction," Jia noted.

Guangzhou-based WeRide, a pioneer in autonomous driving, is also drawing attention. Founder Han Xu revealed that the company has expanded its research and operations to 30 cities across seven countries, including the USA and the UAE, obtaining local licenses. Han emphasized that Guangzhou's inclusiveness and business-friendly environment are critical factors in attracting enterprises.

Meanwhile, Guangdong's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are emerging as global "little giants." Wu Yanguang, founder of Dongguan-based Raetts Intelligent Equipment, shared how his company broke the foreign monopoly on maglev turbo blowers by achieving technological breakthroughs. "We've reduced product costs from 80,000 yuan to 2,000 yuan," Wu stated. "Our air-bearing turbo blowersthat are more efficient and energy-saving can cut carbon emissions by about 480 tons annually. We have established a subsidiary in Germany and are preparing for a public listing.”

In the biopharmaceutical sector, Guangzhou's Bio-Thera Solutions is expanding its global footprint. General Manager Li Shengfeng reported that the company has launched four products and established partnerships in 92 countries. "The R&D cycle is lengthy, but our goal is to collaborate with leading international enterprises to ensure our drugs reach patients worldwide as quickly as possible," Li emphasized.

广东制造业的“攀升记”

广东制造业正从传统迈向未来，以“智造”赋能新动能。作为全国制造业的“尖子生”，广东不仅拥有全部31个制造业大类，还在人工智能、新型储能、商业航空等领域培育新增长点，并瞄准未来电子信息、智能装备、生命健康等“新风口”产业。

广东省工业和信息化厅总经济师邹勇兵表示，去年广东新能源汽车产量占全国四分之一，半导体、前沿新材料等战略性新兴产业集群增加值增速超10%，产业升级成效显著。东莞松山湖的记忆存储科技有限公司，是中国内存市场的“领头羊”。公司负责人贾宗铭介绍，从以制造为主到以研发为核心，公司正通过智能化改造提升竞争力。“借助5G网络，我们实现了生产过程的全连接，能够实时监控并预测风险。”

广州文远知行科技有限公司的自动驾驶技术也备受关注。创始人韩旭表示，公司已在美国、阿联酋等七个国家30个城市开展无人驾驶研发与运营，并取得当地牌照。韩旭强调，广州的包容性和营商环境是吸引企业落地的重要原因。

同时，广东的中小企业正成为全球舞台上的“小巨人”。东莞雷茨智能装备有限公司创始人吴炎光指出，企业通过技术突破，打破了国外磁悬浮风机的垄断，将产品成本从8万元降至2000元。“我们的气悬浮风机年减碳约480吨，更高效节能，已在德国成立子公司并筹备上市。”吴炎光表示。

在生物医药领域，广州市百奥泰生物制药股份有限公司正拓展全球市场。公司总经理李胜峰介绍，目前已有4款产品上市，并与全球92个国家的合作伙伴建立联系。李胜峰强调，“研发周期漫长，但我们的目标是通过与国际龙头企业合作，让药物尽快覆盖全球患者。”
