GUANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Guangdong has reaffirmed its commitment to industrial modernization and economic transformation with a high-level provincial conference on high-quality development. Held on February 5, 2025 - the first working day of the Year of the Snake - the event marked the third consecutive year that Guangdong’s post-Spring Festival agenda has focused on fostering sustainable and innovative growth. Key government and industry leaders, including Guangdong Communist Party Secretary Huang Kunming and Governor Wang Weizhong, participated in the discussions.

The conference highlighted the province’s strategy to build a modern industrial system capable of competing internationally. Secretary Huang Kunming emphasized that Guangdong’s economic success has been driven by open cooperation and continuous industrial upgrading. In the face of global technological shifts and evolving industrial landscapes, the province aims to refine its industrial base, enhance technological innovation, and foster high-growth sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.

Guangdong’s industrial strengths include a comprehensive supply chain network, well-developed infrastructure, and a strong talent pool. Moving forward, the province plans to optimize traditional industries while accelerating the development of emerging sectors. A key initiative is the "Action Plan for Attracting a Million Talents to South Guangdong," which seeks to position the region as a global hub for high-tech talent and industrial innovation. Collaboration with Hong Kong and Macao is also a priority, leveraging their international connectivity and financial resources to drive regional development.

Governor Wang Weizhong outlined the province’s approach to upgrading its industrial base and strengthening supply chain resilience. He underscored the importance of research and development in key technologies, enhanced support for concept and pilot testing, and the establishment of globally influential industrial innovation centers.

With its latest modernization push, Guangdong aims to solidify its role as a leader in high-value manufacturing and innovation, ensuring long-term economic sustainability and international competitiveness.
