Wei Guanlong, General Manager of Mingyang Smart Energy Group's Guangdong East Region: The world's largest 18 MW offshore wind power generator, the world's largest 16 MW floating offshore wind power generator, and the world's longest single blade of 128 meters were all born in Shanwei.
Having three global firsts at once, Shanwei couldn't even imagine it. For a long time, the eastern and northwestern regions of Guangdong, where Shanwei is located, although accounting for 70% of the province's area, have only created about 20% of the province's total economic output. At the end of last year, Guangdong established the "High quality Development Command Headquarters for Hundred Counties, Thousand Towns, and Ten Thousand Villages", targeting the difficult and painful points that constrain the development of urban and rural areas, accelerating infrastructure interconnection, improving the level of equalization of public services, and further promoting the orderly transfer of industries, enhancing the radiation and driving role of the Pearl River Delta in underdeveloped areas of the province.

Lu Feng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shanwei City, Guangdong Province: We believe that it is necessary to implement the new development concept, turn "shortcomings" into "potential boards", and turn "potential boards" into our future "development boards".
Expanding and strengthening the marine economy is a new driving force for Guangdong. Shanwei has the second longest coastline in Guangdong, with wind power reaching world-class wind farm level. Based on this advantage, Shanwei vigorously builds the offshore wind power industry, optimizes the business environment, introduces provincial key laboratories, and attracts multiple leading and supporting enterprises to settle. In the first five months of this year, nearly 20000 new registered enterprises were added in Shanwei, a year-on-year increase of nearly 10%.

While actively building industrial clusters, the cooperation model between underdeveloped areas and corresponding supporting cities is also innovating. In recent days, more than 30 experts from Shenzhen planning units are conducting research and exploration in Shanwei, which will be developed into a shared industrial park between Shenzhen and Shanwei. In the Nanshan District of Shenzhen, where every inch of land is precious, Shenzhen provides a unique innovation space for Shanwei. This "research and development enclave" allows 69 companies in Shanwei to directly integrate into the innovation ecosystem of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area.
Chen Tao, General Manager of Guangdong Guanlong Biotechnology Co., Ltd.: The introduction of our talents and the expansion of the market have brought a great driving effect. Entering Innovation Island, the annual output value was only over 8 million yuan at that time, but now it can achieve a revenue of over 20 million yuan.

Not only Shenzhen and Shanwei, but also Guangzhou and Qingyuan, Foshan and Maoming, Zhongshan and Chaozhou. Talents, funds, and technology are gathered and circulated among cities in Guangdong. For the first time, a new round of provincial targeted assistance cooperation has achieved full coverage of cities and counties in the eastern and northwestern regions of Guangdong. The ecological barrier in northern Guangdong has been further strengthened, and the proportion of good air quality days and good surface water quality sections has reached over 95%. Land and sea coordination, mountain and sea mutual assistance, Guangdong is continuously promoting coordinated development between urban and rural areas, and moving towards high-quality development.
