To thoroughly implement the Provincial Party Committee's "1+1+9" work deployment, firmly promote high-quality development, accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system, advance industries towards the mid-to-high end of the global value chain, and meet the people's needs for a better life, the Guangdong Provincial People's Government has proposed opinions on cultivating and developing strategic pillar industry clusters and strategic emerging industry clusters based on the province's actual conditions. This includes building a precision instrument and equipment industry cluster.

The precision instrument and equipment industry cluster includes breakthroughs and industrial applications in core technologies such as sensing, measurement, control, and data acquisition in fields like industrial automation measurement and control instruments and systems, large precision scientific testing and analysis instruments, and high-end information measurement and electrical measurement instruments. It aims to create an innovation ecosystem spanning the innovation chain and industrial chain. Centered on the Pearl River Delta, it focuses on developing mid-to-high-end products, radiating and driving differentiated and orderly development in eastern and northern Guangdong, forming a regional coordinated development layout complementary in high, medium, and low ends. It aims to cultivate a number of domestically leading, dominant, and internationally influential independent brand products, basically establishing an industrial cluster with a reasonable structural layout, outstanding independent innovation capabilities, and clear advantages in key areas.

1. Development Foundation

Since the reform and opening up, Guangdong's industrial economy has taken the lead, with scale and quality ranking among the top nationwide, a huge market consumption scale, and comprehensive regional innovation capability maintaining first place in the country for many years. It has formed a strong overall industrial competitive advantage but also faces difficulties and problems such as few development support points, insufficient support from emerging industries, dependence on others for key core technologies, inadequate supply of high-end products, overall low level of development carriers, and great pressure to stabilize industrial and supply chains. There is still considerable room for improvement in enhancing supply chains, industrial chains, and value chains, strengthening independent innovation capabilities, cultivating local leading enterprises and independent well-known brands, urgently requiring breakthroughs through tackling difficulties.

Global industrial development practice shows that industrial clusters are the main form of industrial modernization development, an inherent requirement to enhance regional economic competitiveness, and a main content of modern industrial system construction. Currently, Guangdong's industrial cluster development has a certain foundation. The ten strategic pillar industry clusters including new-generation electronic information, green petrochemicals, smart home appliances, automotive industry, advanced materials, modern light industry and textiles, software and information services, ultra-high-definition video display, biomedicine and health, modern agriculture and food had a combined operating income of 15 trillion yuan in 2019, with a solid development foundation and growth trend, serving as an important foundation and support for Guangdong's economy; the ten strategic emerging industry clusters including semiconductors and integrated circuits, high-end equipment manufacturing, intelligent robots, blockchain and quantum information, frontier new materials, new energy, laser and additive manufacturing, digital creativity, safety emergency and environmental protection, and precision instruments and equipment had a combined operating income of 1.5 trillion yuan in 2019, with initial agglomeration effects and huge growth potential, playing a significant leading role in Guangdong's economic development. Based on Guangdong's actual conditions, planning high starting points and steady progress to cultivate and develop strategic pillar industry clusters and strategic emerging industry clusters (referred to as "strategic industrial clusters") is of great significance for promoting the interconnection of the province's industrial chain, innovation chain, talent chain, capital chain, and policy chain, and accelerating the establishment of an internationally competitive modern industrial system.
