Guang’an Economic and Technological Development Zone was upgraded to be a national economic and technological development zone by the State Council in June 2010. It was authorized to be a deputy department-level unit by the State Commission Office of Public Sectors Reform in October 2012. It is one of the 219 national economic and technological development zones in China. Among those 219 zones, only eight are located in Sichuan Province. It is the first national economic and technological development zone that is located within the hinterland encircling Chongqing and a key demonstration zone for Sichuan-Chongqing Cooperation. As part of Sichuan’s strategic plans to develop new industrialization, it is a new demonstration base and a zone with the plan to generate value of 100 billion yuan. It is also a pilot zone to experiment the suitable solutions for transformation towards Circular Economy for industrial parks. Authorized by Sichuan government, it is an energy chemical base of Northeast Sichuan, a gal-salt fine chemical industry base, and a demonstration base of new industrialization. As result, it is the bridgehead and main battlefield for economic development of Guang’an. As of 2017, 1,416 companies have been settled in Guang’an Economic and Technological Development Zone, among which 411 have been developed into enterprises above designated size. Guang’an Economic and Technological Development Zone has gradually improved its industrial supporting capabilities and can effectively enable various industries, either the upstream or downstream ones, to dig out their investment opportunities.
The strategies of Guang’an Economic and Technological Development Zone are to build “a prospering land for Guang’an downtown, an industrial highland for investment, an entrepreneurial paradise for innovation and creation”, and a “policy lowland” to enjoy preferential investment policies, the goal of which is to build “ a pilot field for innovation and reform, a main front for opening to the outside, a main battlefield of foreign trade, and a new engine for economic growth”.
Adhering to the principle of win-win cooperation, the Zone pays close attention to reform and opening up, firmly advances supply-side structural reform, actively promotes quality reforms, efficiency changes, and impetus transformation, the aim of which is to effectively prevent and eliminate major risks, facilitate sustained and healthy economic and social development, and develop itself into a beautiful, prosperous and harmonious economic and technological development zone.
