On October 8, it was learned from the Gui'an New Area Industry and Information Technology Bureau that from January to August this year, relying on the clustered development advantages of three major industrial clusters—digital intelligence industry, new energy batteries and materials, and advanced equipment manufacturing—Gui'an New Area's industrial economy showed strong momentum, with both the total output value of industrial enterprises above designated size and the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size achieving high-level growth, rising 24.4% and 24.9% year-on-year respectively. The foundation for industrial development has continued to be consolidated, and the superimposed effects of industrial clustering have been fully released.

"In the first eight months of this year, the concentration of the new area's leading industries climbed steadily, reaching 76%. Among them, the new energy battery and materials industry, led by CATL, FinDreams Battery, and Zoomwe, has become the core engine driving industrial growth," said Li Qiao, head of the Operation Monitoring Division of the Gui'an New Area Industry and Information Technology Bureau. He said that at present, the new area's new energy battery and materials industry is growing rapidly, with the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increasing 32.9% year-on-year, driving the region's industrial growth by 21.2 percentage points. The advanced equipment manufacturing industry is operating steadily, with the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increasing 14.3% year-on-year, highlighting the supporting role of leading industries.

The improvement in quality and efficiency of industrial clusters cannot be separated from the strong pull of key backbone enterprises. Data shows that from January to August, eight key manufacturing enterprises, including CATL, Zoomwe, Yangtze River Auto, and Huike Display, maintained stable production and expanded output, improved quality and efficiency, and sustained rapid growth. Their added value of industrial enterprises above designated size accounted for 61.3% of the new area's total added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, contributing 85.9% to the region's industrial economic growth, becoming the "ballast stone" for the high-quality development of the new area's industrial economy.

High-quality enterprises in the jurisdiction have continued to release production capacity and show strong development momentum. Among them, Husong New Energy Technology (Guizhou) Co., Ltd., which focuses on the research, development, production, and sales of solid-state batteries and solid-liquid hybrid (semi-solid-state) batteries, completed capacity ramp-up in just half a year after starting production last December, successfully achieving full production in June this year, and has smoothly completed the delivery of hundreds of thousands of battery cells, with notable market conversion results.

New energy vehicle manufacturing and high-end equipment manufacturing enterprises have also accelerated simultaneously. From January to August, Yangtze River Auto, which focuses on the production of new energy commercial vehicles, produced a total of 11,439 vehicles, with output value increasing 48.81% year-on-year and production and sales scale steadily expanding. Weimaier Technology, which is deeply engaged in the research, development, and manufacturing of industrial robots, has continued to release production capacity, producing more than 2,000 various robots this year, with output value approaching 100 million yuan from January to August, and the development vitality of emerging industries continues to burst forth.

"Next, we will vigorously implement the 'Five Helps' service and make every effort to promote the new area's industrial economy to maintain rapid growth," Li Qiao said. The new area will focus on the three leading industries without relaxation, keep a close eye on the needs of industrial market entities, proactively connect with enterprises to expand their supply chains and market development, solidly ensure factors such as water, electricity, gas, and labor, and promote industrial enterprises above designated size to fully release production capacity. It will continue to improve enterprise services, deliver policies, solve problems, find orders, assist financing, and reduce costs, so that enterprises can move forward with light burdens and develop with peace of mind. At the same time, it will do a good job in investment promotion, promote signed projects to start construction, go into production, and achieve results quickly, continuously consolidate the industrial foundation, and promote the Gui'an New Area's industrial economy to make steady progress and improve quality and efficiency with stronger responsibility and more practical measures.
