向世界推介创新开放发展的广州

本报记者 邱海峰

3月22日至23日，“2016中国广州国际投资年会”在广州白云国际会议中心举行。本届年会的主题是“动力源 增长极——国家中心城市与三大战略枢纽”。年会重点探讨了在广州获国务院明确定位为我国重要的中心城市、国际商贸中心和综合交通枢纽的时代背景下，如何利用建设国际航运枢纽、国际航空枢纽和国际科技创新枢纽这三大战略枢纽的机遇，进一步推动城市创新、开放与发展。中国广州国际投资年会是宣传推介广州的高端国际平台，是广州向境内外投资者宣传市场化、法治化、国际化投资环境，传递广州高度重视引资引技引智工作这一信号的一项重要举措，它正为广州向世界讲好中国故事、传播好中国声音提供良好机会，越来越多的人也开始进一步认识到广州经济发展的魅力、活力与潜力。

1 创格局：三大战略枢纽发力

城市的布局决定格局，格局决定结局。建设三大战略枢纽作为广州打造城市新格局的重要举措，是广州在“十三五”时期发展的新增长极和动力源，代表了广州的未来。

作为今年“中国广州国际投资年会”的重要聚焦点，三大战略枢纽已经开始展现其不俗的动力。航运枢纽起步“有力”。中船集团公司董事长董强在年会上指出，广州是千年古港、古代海上丝绸之路的起点之一，在发展航运业上得天独厚。

数据显示，2015年，广州港累计完成货物吞吐量5.2亿吨，同比增长4%，位居国内沿海港口第四位、国际港口第六位；完成集装箱吞吐量1762.5万标准箱，增长6%，位居国内沿海港口第四位、国际港口第七位。此外，广州重视在航运方面的对外交流与合作，2015年广州港缔结了10个国际友好港，广州港已与世界30个港口建立了友好港合作关系。

广州今年将积极开辟集装箱班轮航线，推进国际班轮航线开通，在巩固欧洲、非洲、东南亚航线的同时，重点拓展美洲航线，今年确保新增8条，力争10条，此外，加快内陆无水港建设，推进铁水及公水联运，2016年新增10个内陆无水港或办事处。

航空枢纽带来新机遇。广州白云国际机场是国际航空枢纽建设的核心，目前拥有3条跑道和1座航站楼，远期规划为5条跑道和3座航站楼。2015年，白云国际机场旅客吞吐量5521万人次、货邮吞吐量154万吨，均位居全国第三；目前已开通国际及地区航线136条，每天1000多个航班通达亚、非、欧、北美和大洋洲五大洲共207个目的地。

“随着白云机场T2新航站楼扩建并于2018年投入使用，作为主基地航空公司，我们深感广州已经迎来了新一轮发展的重大机遇，广州航空枢纽迎来了进一步腾飞的最佳时机。”南航总经理谭万庚说。

科技创新枢纽引领新发展。广州的国际创新枢纽正在日趋成熟，并不断发挥创新引领作用，创新平台建设、科技金融融合、创新环境优化等方面都在取得积极成效，2015年，工业高新技术产品产值8420.56亿元，发明专利授权6626件、比上年增长44.4%，企业专利质押融资1.34亿元，国家超级计算广州中心天河二号运算速度全球6连冠。

2016年，广州还将重点建设科技创新走廊，加快国家制造业创新中心、中新国际联合研究院、中乌巴顿焊接研究院等重大创新平台建设，培育引进创新创业人才，发展一批创客空间，创建创客空间公共服务平台，鼓励设立风投基金，支持社会组织创新，推动大众创业、万众创新。

2 引进来：营商环境充满引力

本次“中国广州国际投资年会”吸引了来自国内外大型国企、外企、民企和金融机构的高层，国家和省相关单位负责人，外国驻穗领馆官员，社会知名人士，高等院校和科研机构及外省市驻穗机构负责人等参加全体会议。参加全体会议和分论坛活动的企业共约1200家，嘉宾1600多人。

众多商业人士、投资人士以及研究人员的到来正是看中了广州优越的营商环境。法国智奥会展有限公司全球首席执行官奥利维·费兰多指出，通过前期的市场调研，我知道广州有着良好的投资环境并且已把会展业作为大力发展的重点新兴产业之一，正努力打造国际会展中心城市，很高兴GL EVENTS能有机会和广州一起实现这个美好的愿望，我相信未来我们的合作空间是巨大的。

根据华南美国商会的最新调查统计数据显示，60%的受访企业将华南地区运营总部设在广州，这一比例是近三年来的最高值；93%的受访企业表示已经实现盈利或将在未来两年内实现盈利，其中7.4%的企业表示其盈利大大超出预期，这一比例是2015年的两倍；83%的受访企业认为整体营商环境“好”、“很好”或者“优异”，76.3%的企业认为营商环境与一年前相比持平或提高。

广州营商环境的“引力”有其坚实的基础。相关人士指出，广州的投资营商环境主要优势体现在5个方面，一是基础设施齐全，广州在海陆空方面都是重要的交通枢纽，此外，广州是中国三大通信枢纽、互联网交换中心和互联网三大国际出口之一，中国大陆58%的互联网通过广州与世界互联网对接，拥有全球最快的超级计算机“天河二号”；二是产业基础强大，广州目前已认定320家总部企业；三是创业创新支持有力，广州聚集了广东省2/3的普通高校、97%的国家重点学科、全部国家重点实验室；四是制度创新与政府服务到位，南沙自贸试验区首创“智检口岸”模式和政府购买查验服务，此外，2015年通过减税清费措施为企业减负约495亿元；五是生活环境宜居，空气质量在中国五个国家中心城市中最优，2015年空气质量达标天数312天。

广州市委书记任学锋指出，广州是中国重要的中心城市、国际商贸中心和综合交通枢纽，当前正紧密对接国家战略，贯彻创新、协调、绿色、开放、共享的发展理念，聚焦建设国际航运、航空和科技创新三大战略枢纽，扎实推进供给侧结构性改革，构建“亲”“清”新型政商关系，厚植发展优势，制定供应链发展战略，加快形成新的发展动力源和增长极。建设国家中心城市和三大战略枢纽，需要一大批枢纽型企业参与，欢迎广大中外企业和企业家抓住机遇，投资广州，实现合作共赢。

3 谋创新：多区联动展现活力

通过本届年会，我们再次看到了广州大力推动科技创新的决心与信心。本次大会安排了18个分论坛，主要聚焦区域发展亮点及新兴产业发展，而科技创新则是这18个分论坛中的“重头戏”。广州市11个区参与了论坛推介，虽各有重点，但创新成为了大多数区的主题，如越秀区重点推介众创金融产业、海珠区重点推介互联网+产业、荔湾区重点推介电商和3D打印产业，天河、黄埔、番禺等区突出推介创新、创业等。

各区的“默契”传递了一种“共识”，科技创新正开始在广州各地“生根发芽”。以广州市荔湾区为例，该区地处广州市西部，是珠江三角洲“一小时优质生活圈”的核心。3D打印产业是该区的一大特色，该区的东沙粤港澳高端服务业产业合作区是广州市唯一一家以3D打印技术产业为载体的集3D打印产业设计、研发、软件开发、整机制造和材料供应为一体的新业态产业园区，目前已集聚了网能产品设计、立体易等17家3D打印企业。为了培养人才，荔湾区还将与华南理工大学等多所院校建立3D打印相关院校，并推动3D打印与医疗行业的结合。此外，“十三五”期间，荔湾区还将打造超5000亿元的“升级版”电子商务总部集聚区。

广州市天河区是全国唯一同时拥有国家级中央商务区和科技软件园区的城市中心区。2015年，天河区进一步支持、培育和促进创新创业加快发展，一方面加大创新创业奖励扶持力度，对创业领军人才，最高扶持500万元；对认定的创新平台，最高奖励30万元；对认定的孵化器，最高补贴40万元；对创业孵化、路演等服务，最高补贴50万元；对创新创业大赛，最高支持100万元办赛经费，并设立近200万元的项目奖励。

作为一家土生土长于广州的创新企业，唯品会已经发展成为全国第三大电商及全球最大的特卖电商，集团董事长沈亚指出，唯品会的高速发展离不开广州优良的创业氛围与政府的服务支持，唯品会创业7年来，我们深刻感受到广州政府对创新企业的服务精神，我们呼吁：创新创业者们可以放心来广州，创业在广州，创新在广州，发展在广州。

4 促发展：“引擎”提速释放潜力

广州获国务院明确定位为我国重要的中心城市、国际商贸中心和综合交通枢纽，随着大力推动三大战略枢纽的建设，广州的经济增长潜力与发展空间将进一步得以体现与释放。

数据显示，2015年，广州实现地区生产总值1.81万亿元，经济总量连续27年位居全国大城市第三位；社会消费品零售总额7933亿元，对外贸易总额8306亿元；实际使用外资54亿美元；境外投资总额51亿美元。

数据“给力”，质量也很出色。智能制造业、现代服务业等“含金量”高的产业正逐渐成为广州经济的重要增长点。中山大学岭南学院财税系主任林江指出，先进制造业是广州应对供给侧改革的一张王牌，广州有完备的产业链和厚重的制造业基础，加上琶洲互联网集聚区、天河电子信息产业等新兴产业的崛起，广州有实力、有条件促进制造业由生产链条的下游向中上游发展。

电子商务、金融、信息服务、科技服务等现代服务业增势好于传统服务业， 2015年，广州跨境电商企业总数已达879家，跨境电商进出口总额为68.5亿元，规模继续位居全国第一，金融、信息服务两大现代服务业占服务业比重比2014年末提高0.7个百分点。

在已取得的优异成绩基础之上，广州还将进一步释放潜力，推动经济大力发展。“十三五”时期，广州将实施一系列重大战略部署，包括建设“三中心一体系”、三大战略枢纽、一江两岸三带、多点支撑格局等。力争到2020年，广州市全市地区生产总值达到2.8万亿元，年均增长7.5%以上，人均生产总值达到18万元左右，力争提前实现全市生产总值和城乡居民人均收入比2010年翻一番。

Ambitious plan laid out for future of ancient port

South China city a key location at the Belt and Road Initiative

Ren Xuefeng, Party chief of Guangzhou, mapped out an ambitious plan to construct the ancient commercial port city into a new national center city with three strategic hubs in his opening speech at the Guangzhou Annual Investment Conference that opened in the metropolis on Wednesday.

According to Ren, the city, one of the major starting points for the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, will become a hub for aviation, shipping and scientific innovation in the years to come.

"Guangzhou, a major trade port to the outside world in olden times, will try to attract more key companies to help build the city into a hub of aviation, shipping and scientific innovation," Ren said. "Scientific innovation will become a new driving force and growth engine for Guangzhou," he added.

To this end, relevant departments in the city have introduced a series of preferential policies and regulations to help attract talent, capital, technologies and management from home and abroad.

Ren promised to further improve Guangzhous investment climate and living environment to better serve the citys economic construction and scientific innovation.

Unique advantages

Dong Qiang, chairman of China State Shipbuilding Corp, said his company will further expand its cooperation with relevant departments in the city to help build the city into a hub for the shipping industry in the following years.

"As an ancient port city and one of the major starting points of the Chinas ancient Maritime Silk Road, Guangzhou has its special and unique advantages to become a new shipping and transportation hub which needs the participants of many key companies," Dong said.

CSSC will seize the opportunity to "join hands for Guangzhous economic development."

Ambitious plan laid out for future of ancient port

Dong said his company will invest more than 15 billion yuan ($2.3 billion) during the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-20) to construct its Longxue ocean equipment production base, located at the estuary of the Pearl River in Guangzhous Nansha district.

A new takeoff

"Now that Guangzhou has mapped out its plan to become an aviation hub, China Southern Airlines and related companies will have the opportunities for a new round of takeoff in the future," said Tan Wangeng, Party chief of China Southern Air Holding Co and deputy chairman and president of China Southern Airlines.

One of the three major airlines on the mainland, China Southern Airlines operates more than 100 international and regional flights every week, linking Guangzhou to major cities around the world.

Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, which handled more than 55 million passengers last year, has become the third-busiest airport on the mainland after Beijing and Shanghai.

More opportunities

Olivier Ferraton, global CEO of GL Events SA, said the French company is eager to advance its cooperation with relevant departments and expand its presence in Guangzhou.

"Guangzhou is an interesting city that is providing myriad business opportunities," Ferraton said.

He said with the city seeking to become a new hub for aviation, shipping and scientific innovation, Guangzhous exhibition and convention industry has great potential.

Likewise, Morris Li, president of China Guangfa Bank, said the bank expects to both help promote and benefit from the citys economic construction and scientific innovation.

In another development, Canadas Alberta province launched a trade office in Guangzhou on Tuesday, its fourth in China.

"The government of Alberta is very interested in increasing the two-way trading opportunities with China going both directions," said Deron Bilous, minister of economic development and trade of Alberta, at the opening ceremony.

China is the second-largest trading partner of Alberta and Guangdong province receives more than 20 percent of Canadas exports to China, he said.

Guangzhou strengthens its role as southern hub

More than 199 million yuan ($30.62 million) has been invested to help improve and expand Baiyun International Airports environment and facilities.

Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, is expected to strengthen its status as a major aviation and shipping hub in the southern Chinese region with the coming expansion of its airport and ports.

Qiu Zhizhong, deputy director of Guangzhou aviation administrative commission, said, the second terminal of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is expected to come into service in February 2018.

"The supplementary facilities for the third runway have also been completed while feasibility studies for a fourth and fifth runway have also begun," Qiu said.

The construction of the second airport expressway and the related expressway projects that will help link the airport to major Pearl River Delta cities are ramping up, Qiu added.

According to Qiu, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport will be able to handle more than 80 million passengers a year by 2020.

Guangzhou strengthens its role as southern hub

More than 2.5 million metric tons of cargo will arrive in and leave Guangzhou via the airport by 2020, he added.

More than 199 million yuan ($30.62 million) has been invested to help improve the airports environment and facilities, including the construction of hangars and related facilities.

Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, which currently has one terminal and three runways, is now the third-busiest airport on the mainland after Beijing and Shanghai.

In 2015, the airport handled 55.21 million passengers and 1.54 million tons of cargo.

The airport has 136 international and regional routes, with more than 1,000 scheduled flights linking Guangzhou to 207 destinations in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand daily.

While also making efforts to strengthen ties with Europe, Africa and Southeast Asia, the city is giving top priority to opening new international ocean routes to American nations and regions, Huang said.

To this end, the third and fourth expansion projects for Nansha Port, located at the estuary of the Pearl River, will begin before the end of year.

Ports in Guangzhou handled 520 million tons of cargo last year, up 4 percent year-on-year, ranking fourth on the mainland and the sixth in the world.

Core city for innovation cooperation

The Guangzhou government has promised to expand its cooperation and exchanges with advanced countries and regions to help build the southern metropolis into a core city for the countrys innovation industry in 2020.

To this end, the government is now creating a number of innovation centers and industrial parks for international technological transfers, joint research and development, international innovation, incubators for offshore companies and training bases for world talents, said Ma Shu, an official with the Guangzhou bureau of science and information.

Meanwhile, the construction of the citys major scientific industrial parks and projects are being accelerated.

2016广州国际投资年会：“引资引智”人均最高补贴500万元

新华社广州3月23日电广州将大手笔“引资引智”，杰出产业人才最高可获500万元补贴。而不断优化的营商环境也正在让享有“千年商都”之称的广州成为最受国内外投资者青睐的中国城市之一。

这是记者从23日举办2016年广州国际投资年会获悉的。截至2015年底，广州累计吸收全球136个国家和地区的外商直接投资企业26945家，实际使用外资总额753．4亿美元；在吸引国内投资方面，截至2015年12月底，广州实有登记各类内资市场主体共计130．6万户，注册资本总额达22185．4亿元。

近年来，广州不断推进投资环境便利化。目前已全面实施“三证合一”、“一照一码”登记制度改革，企业审批时限3个工作日可办结。同时，通过大力减税清费持续为企业“减压”。2015年，广州累计为企业减负495亿元，其中“营改增”试点减负约110亿元，落实其他税收减免约340亿元，停征和下调涉企收费约45亿元。

在用工成本上，广州的平均工资水平在北上广深中排名第四，是北京的80％、上海的85％；在平均房价上，广州房价为深圳的54％、北京的55％和上海的61％；在企业房租方面，根据仲量联行的最新统计数据显示，截至2015年第三季度，广州写字楼平均租金为160元／平方米／月，远低于北京、上海、深圳的平均租金水平。

“十三五”期间，广州将建设成为国家创新中心城市，全力推进国际航运、航空、科技创新三大战略枢纽建设。为配合做好相关“引资引智”工作，从2016年起，广州将在重点产业领域内培养和引进一批“高精尖缺”的产业领军人才，其中，每年支持500名创新创业领军人才，支持1000名产业高端人才、2000名产业急需紧缺人才，创新创业领军人才将分别给予300万元的项目经费资助，杰出产业人才奖给予最高500万元一次性薪酬补贴。产业高端人才和继续人才按上一年度对广州发展做出的贡献，最高每人给予150万余奖励。

同时，建立人才绿卡制度，对暂无落户意向的非广州户籍产业领军人才，在购房、购车、投资、子女入学等方面可享受广州市民待遇；为外籍产业领军人才提供入境和停居留便利，持人才绿卡可办理2－5年长期居留证件。
