On February 24th, the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, Guangdong will once again convene its "First Conference of Spring"—the Guangdong Provincial High-quality Development Conference. This year's conference will focus on the coordinated development of manufacturing and service sectors, sending a strong signal that deeper integration between the two sectors will be leveraged to drive industrial transformation. Outside the conference venue,production across Guangdong is already operating at full capacity: factories are humming with machinery, R&D centers are working around the clock, and freight vehicles shuttle back and forth.

Guangdong boasts a solid manufacturing foundation. The ultra-high-definition (UHD) video display industry cluster has surpassed one trillion yuan in revenue, becoming China's first trillion-yuan cluster of its kind. Multiple core indicators, such as panel production capacity and TV output, rank first nationwide. In 2025, the value added from high-tech manufacturing and equipment manufacturing accounted for 34.7% and 59.6% of total industrial value added above designated size, respectively, significantly higher than the national average. From January to October 2025, the core AI industry exceeded 230 billion yuan in value, with over 3,700 related enterprises, including more than 350 national-level specialized and sophisticated"Little Giant" firms, underscoring the sector's strength.

Guangdong's service sector also leads the nation. In 2025, its value added reached 8.5 trillion yuan, accounting for 58.3% of GDP and ranking first nationwide for 41 consecutive years. Development in specific sub-sectors has yielded notable results. In industrial internet services, Guangdong has nurtured nine national-level platforms such as iROOTECH's RootCloud. Its industrial AI foundation model has been applied to ship maintenance, significantly shortening the quotation cycle for vessel repairs. Concrete measures have also been rolled out in areas such as supply chain finance and science and technology services, effectively supporting industrial upgrading. Guangdong has issued targeted measures, planning to establish 100 producer services clusters by 2027. Currently, its digital economy firmly ranks first in China in terms of scale, providing robust support for the synergistic development of the manufacturing and service sectors.

As the conference convenes, Guangdong will further integrate the "hard" manufacturing with the "soft" services, upholding the philosophy that integration breeds strength and collaboration delivers success, and writing a new chapter in the province's industrial transformation.

广东“新春第一会”聚焦制造业与服务业协同发展

2月24日，农历大年初八，广东将再度召开“新春第一会”——全省高质量发展大会。今年的大会聚焦“制造业与服务业协同发展”，释放出以两业深度融合撬动产业变革的强烈信号。而在会场之外，南粤大地已是一片马力全开的生产景象：工厂车间机器轰鸣，研发中心灯火通明，货运车辆穿梭不息。

广东制造业根基深厚，超高清视频显示产业集群营收突破万亿元，成为该领域全国首个万亿集群，面板产能、电视产量等多项核心指标居全国第一。2025年，高技术、装备制造业增加值占规上工业比重分别达34.7%、59.6%，远高于全国平均水平；2025年1-10月，人工智能核心产业规模超2300亿元，相关企业超3700家，其中国家级专精特新“小巨人”企业超350家，产业实力凸显。

广东服务业同样领跑全国，2025年服务业增加值达8.5万亿元，占GDP比重58.3%，连续41年位居全国首位。细分领域发展成效显著，工业互联网服务培育了树根互联等9家国家级平台，其工业AI大模型应用于船舶维修，大幅缩短修船报价周期；供应链金融、科技服务领域均有务实举措落地，有效助力产业升级。广东已印发专项措施，计划到2027年建成100个生产性服务业集聚区，目前数字经济规模稳居全国第一，为两业协同发展提供有力支撑。

随着大会召开，广东制造业“硬实力”与服务业“软实力”将继续融合，践行“融则强，合则胜”的发展理念，书写南粤产业变革新篇章。
