In August 2003, the Municipal Bureau of Commerce took the lead in launching the concept of building a new material industrialization export base in the whole province, after the Ministry of Commerce, the provincial government (especially the care and support of the deputy governor Huang Xiaoxiang), the municipal party committee, the municipal government and each Under the care and guidance of the department, after more than four years of unremitting efforts and continuous improvement, it finally succeeded. This is the specific measures taken by the Municipal Bureau of Commerce to make a deliberate effort, to use the staff, and to conscientiously implement the decision of the municipal party committee and the municipal government to "industrial strong city". It is also to promote the economic restructuring of the city, accelerate the development of industrial economy, implement the strategy of developing trade through science and technology, and promote science and technology. The combination of industry and trade development has accelerated the transformation of trade growth. Its practical significance is also reflected in:
I. Closely the theme of the municipal and municipal government's industrial strong city The Municipal Bureau of Commerce has applied for the national-level “Science and Technology Innovation and Innovation Base” from the beginning to focus on the theme of the municipal government and the municipal government. As an old industrial city, the city's growth history and development characteristics are in the industry, and the future revitalization and prospects are also in industry. Based on the advantages of expanding the industry, cultivate key enterprises. Guided by the market, supported by scientific and technological progress, driven by reform and innovation, giving full play to the comparative advantages of the industry, effectively transforming the mode of economic growth, enhancing the capacity for independent innovation and comprehensive competitiveness, and achieving the industrial city to the industry in a good and fast manner. City leap.
II. Promoting Economic Structural Adjustment The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have included the construction of Zigong New Materials Industrialization Export Base in the five major industrial clusters under the 11th Five-Year Plan. Zigong City is an industrial city based on salt chemical industry and is currently in the middle stage of industrialization. The structural contradictions of industrial development are more prominent. According to the characteristics of Zigong new materials industry, focus on the development of cemented carbide and hard surface materials, nano materials, silicon fluoropolymer materials, special carbon black and carbon graphite materials, special welding materials and fine chemical new materials, through the transformation of traditional materials industry and development The new materials industry will accelerate the adjustment of Zigong's economic structure, promote the transformation of the city's resource advantages into economic advantages, and comprehensively enhance the technological innovation capability and regional economic competitiveness of the city's industry.
III. Accelerating the development of new materials industry According to the status quo and future development trend of the new material industry in our city, the “base” will gradually build into a certain international competition according to the development direction of specialization, marketization, informationization, industrialization and internationalization. Industrial clusters; by 2011, new materials will be formed with four “aircraft carrier” group companies, including Zigong Cemented Carbide Company, Chenguang Institute, Carbon Research Institute and Sichuan Atlantic Company, and more than 60 small and medium-sized affiliates. The industrial cluster has entered the international advanced ranks in the field of new materials. The output value of the new materials industry reached 10 billion yuan, the profit was 1 billion yuan, and the export earned 500 million US dollars.
Fourth, science and technology to promote trade to transform foreign trade growth mode At present, the city's export products are more resource-based, energy-consuming, labor-intensive, low-tech products, lack of competitiveness in the international market, weak ability to resist risks. This year, the national export tax rebate policy has been adjusted, and most of its export commodities have been included in the adjustment scope, which has brought great challenges to the export work. The successful application of the Science and Technology Trade Innovation Base will provide a great opportunity for the city to gather scientific and technological innovation resources, build a regional public innovation platform, implement industrial common technology and key technologies, and accelerate the construction of innovative Zigong. To enlarge and strengthen the new materials industry, vigorously promote industrial strong cities, promote regional science and technology innovation system construction and regional economic development to provide a higher platform, and also play an important role in optimizing the city's foreign trade export commodity structure and improving the competitiveness of the international market.
