Talent + capital, grow industrial clusters

How does the cluster come into being? In Xie Ming view, must meet the total amount, a group of leading enterprises, the government to promote support for three conditions.

Hailan and the sun is the new town of the two leading group, with Jingya Group, Zhenxin Industrial, good luck to Longyang and other advantages of growth-oriented enterprises to support the textile and garment industry cluster, becoming the world's largest wool textile production base. Xinzhen Town, deputy mayor Tang Zhenwei introduction, in 2016, the town of wool textile industry to achieve billing sales of 79 billion yuan, the town's total import and export volume reached 180 million US dollars, wool textile products are exported to five continents, and with 60 countries and regions Many of the well-known customers to establish a long-term, friendly and stable relations of cooperation, most of the international top or well-known clothing brands, such as Armani, LV, Clarini, Jie Niya, BOSS, UNIQLO and so on.

Xinqiao as a small town, why would there be such a huge industrial agglomeration capacity? Tang Zhenwei gave the answer: First, talent-intensive. In recent years, Hailan Group and Sunshine Group, respectively, the implementation of the "Phoenix Plan" and "professional flight program", the continued introduction of talent, and to the status of the highest grade of the house and other good treatment to nest to attract talent. Second, capital intensive. Capital of the largest role is to expand the scale of enterprises, the new bridge foresight, in addition to the existing Hailan home, Jiangsu Sunshine and four rings of three listed companies, the new bridge is still cultivating the market echelon, the first large enterprises, small companies. Third, science and technology innovation ability. Newbridge to encourage key enterprises to take the lead in major national science and technology projects as well as national and provincial major scientific and technological projects to promote enterprises to increase technological innovation to enhance core competitiveness. In turn, the more clusters will also attract foreign talent, capital and technology, and increase industrial agglomeration.

In addition, industry associations are also an important driving force to promote the development of industrial clusters. Knitting underwear industry is the traditional pillar industry of Gu Town, Jiangyin City. As early as the late 70s of last century, the early 80s, Gu Shanzhen was opened underwear workshop. With the deepening of reform and opening up, Gu Shan's underwear business to achieve from scratch, from small to large, from scattered to poly cross. The town currently a total of 78 underwear business, the annual production capacity of 60 million (sets), billing sales 3.206 billion yuan.

But for some time, "a high two low" (high labor costs, low product value, low technical content) deeply troubled Gu Shan underwear business. As the threshold of access is low, the low level of underwear enterprises is repeated. At the same time, as labor-intensive enterprises, with the implementation of "labor law", the labor cost increases, and the profit margins of underwear enterprises are getting smaller and smaller. In order to compete for labor and the market, peers can not help some vicious competition. In 2008, a sudden global financial crisis completely changed the Gu Shan underwear business "peer is the enemy" idea, peer companies are no longer competing for each other, and began to sympathize with each other, understanding and support.

Gu Shan underwear development status caused the town party committee, the government's high degree of concern, at the same time, more and more entrepreneurs to focus attention to build industry associations. Ship against the risk. "In order to avoid the disorderly competition and information are not interoperable, Gu Town in 2009 set up underwear industry associations to guide the industry to take the road of development, to guide the town underwear industry scientific development, the formation of large-scale enterprises, Enterprise symbiotic benign development trend, effectively promote the garment industry scale, intensive and professional development. "Gu Town, deputy mayor Chen Wenqi said.
Looking back, Jiangsu textile industry cluster is the rapid development, because the cluster area to create and play a lot of comparative advantages. In the current situation, although some comparative advantages such as low wages and so on have ceased to exist, but there are still many advantages in continuing to support the cluster economic development, such as the local party committee and government in the policy measures on the support, unique specialization Production, industry chain supporting upstream and downstream, industry and professional market mutual interaction, professional information in the region quickly spread and gradually improve the comprehensive public services. Looking forward to the future, in the "three to a comeback", "public entrepreneurship, innovation" and "Made in China 2025" and other growth engine, I believe that Jiangsu textile industry cluster will usher in a new breakthrough!
