I. Overall Objectives
Resolutely implementing the strategy of building a “Strong Industrial City,” and adhering to the “Five First-Class” and “Six Ones” standards and requirements for cluster development, by the end of 2028, the quality and efficiency of the city’s industrial cluster development will be significantly enhanced, and the levels of intelligent, green, and integrated development will be markedly strengthened, forming a development pattern characterized by distinct features and highly efficient coordination.The city’s industrial clusters will achieve an average annual revenue growth of approximately 10 percent; more than 5 provincial-level industrial clusters and approximately 6 municipal-level industrial clusters will be cultivated; and breakthroughs will be made in the construction of provincial-level advanced manufacturing clusters.
II. Key Tasks
(I) Campaign to Optimize Cluster Layout
1. Quality Improvement and Upgrading of Existing Industrial Clusters. Aligning with the “Five First-Class” and “Six Ones” cluster development standards and requirements, and in conjunction with the “15th Five-Year Plan” arrangements, we will coordinate the industrial development positioning of counties and districts, map out industrial cluster landscapes, and clarify key links in industrial chains, strengths, weaknesses, and gaps, as well as development directions and pathways for breakthroughs.Each county (district) shall formulate a three-year action plan for enhancing and upgrading industrial clusters, detailing development goals, key tasks, and other relevant aspects. Conduct targeted, checklist-based investment promotion to precisely attract projects that fill gaps, extend, and strengthen industrial chains; promote synergy between industrial and supply chains; and enhance the overall competitiveness of the clusters.(Responsible Units: Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, Municipal Bureau of Commerce, People’s Governments of all counties [districts], and Pingxiang Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee; hereinafter, implementation by the People’s Governments of all counties [districts] and the Pingxiang Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee is required, and this will not be listed separately in subsequent sections)
2. Cultivate distinctive county-level industrial clusters. Each county (district) and the Pingxiang Economic and Technological Development Zone shall focus on 1–2 leading industries, strengthen the introduction and cultivation of upstream and downstream supporting enterprises, and promote the concentrated layout of similar industries and related enterprises.Optimize county-level industrial development platforms, improve supporting infrastructure, and enhance the capacity to accommodate industrial clusters, gradually forming county-level industrial clusters with distinctive characteristics and a rational division of labor.
