First, the regional economy has developed rapidly. In recent years, the development zone has bravely shouldered the heavy burden of "expanding cities eastward and developing industries", vigorously promoted new industrialization and implemented "second pioneering", which has achieved sustained, healthy and rapid development of the regional economy, and all major economic indicators have risen in an all-round way. In 2007, the GDP of the whole region increased by19.7%; The total industrial output value increased by 38.5%, of which the output value of high-tech industries increased by 21%; The added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 31.7%; The investment in fixed assets of the whole society increased by 47.3%; Total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by18.5%; The total fiscal revenue increased by 34.7%.
Second, investment promotion has achieved fruitful results. Seize the opportunity of the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other coastal developed areas to accelerate the industrial transfer to the mainland, strengthen the responsibility of investment promotion, highlight industrial investment promotion, promote entrusted investment promotion, do a good job in festival investment promotion, revitalize existing investment promotion, promote business investment promotion, and focus on introducing strategic investment projects and industrial cluster projects, and achieve fruitful results. From 2003 to 2007, 277 projects of various types were introduced in the whole region, with contractual utilization of domestic capital from outside the province of 654.38+02.346 billion yuan and contractual utilization of foreign capital of 265.438+0 billion US dollars. The work of attracting investment shows the characteristics of increasing industrial projects, increasing investment scale, strengthening industrial agglomeration, optimizing industrial structure and expanding incubation function.
Third, the advantages of industrial agglomeration are prominent. The whole region has initially formed four major industrial clusters and a major trade and logistics zone. That is, a biomedical industrial cluster with Jingda Bio, Le Bang Pharmaceutical and Zhongqi Pharmaceutical as the main bodies; A new chemical material industrial cluster with Sansheng Chemical, Huibo Chemical and Huizhi Technology as the main body; Modern food industry cluster with white elephant instant noodles, Baling oil and Loutai wine industry as the main body; An advanced manufacturing industrial cluster with Zhongke Electric, Auspicious Burner, Kemeida Electric, Hongsheng Electromagnetic and Continental Laser as the main body; Sun Bridge Building Materials Market and Sun Bridge Logistics Park are modern business logistics areas. At present, more than 80 large industrial enterprises have gathered in the four industrial clusters, accounting for 86% of the total number of large industrial enterprises in the region.
Fourth, the orderly expansion of new urban areas. The development zone has seriously undertaken the important task of "expanding the city eastward and developing the industry". In the process of the city's eastward expansion, we strictly follow the work requirements of the municipal party committee and municipal government of "following the rules according to law, controlling the construction with an iron fist, and demolishing the violations with an iron fist", strengthen the responsibility of demolition and control, implement strict control measures, and forcibly dismantle the illegal acts according to law, laying a solid foundation for building a harmonious and beautiful new district. In accordance with the development idea of "one area with many parks" and the requirements of building a boutique new city, combined with the overall urban planning, the surveying and mapping work of 30 square kilometers within the expanded area was completed; Complete the regulatory detailed planning of the new railway station, the zoning planning of Jinfeng Bridge and the planning of Kangwang Industrial Park, Mechanical Building Materials Industrial Park and Modern Agricultural Ecological Demonstration Park; Completed the village (residential) settlement planning. Effectively strengthen the construction of urban infrastructure, vigorously promote the development of urban industries, develop urban real estate in an orderly manner, and increase the urban area by 13.8 square kilometers. Strengthen urban management in an all-round way, further strengthen the creation of civilization, vigorously implement the "greening, lighting and beautifying" project in urban areas, solidly promote community construction, carry out the activities of "entering four communities" through science, education, culture and health, strengthen community functions, develop community culture, beautify community environment, maintain community order, and strive to create a harmonious, beautiful, safe and civilized production and living environment for community residents.
Fifth, the strength of key enterprises has increased. A number of key industrial enterprises have grown rapidly, supporting half of the industrial development in our region. Baling Grease is the largest producer of edible oil in the province, with two production lines: virgin pressing and refining. From the initial annual output of less than 1 10,000 tons and the output value of less than 60 million yuan, it has rapidly grown into a leading agricultural industrialization enterprise with an annual output of 90,000 tons and sales exceeding 6,543.80 billion yuan, ranking among the large oil processing enterprises in China. The White Elephant Instant Noodle Project, which entered the district in 2002, has developed into the largest instant noodle production base in Jiangnan, China after twice capital increase and production expansion. Guyue Loutai Yellow Rice Wine Base has become the largest R&D and yellow rice wine production base in central and western China. Changde Chemical has become the largest manufacturer of epoxy cyclohexane in China, accounting for 80% of the domestic sales market. Zhongke Electric and Comeda Electric are the largest manufacturers of electromagnetic lifting equipment in China, and the sales volume of regional electromagnet industry with them as the main body accounts for more than 70% of the national market share.
Sixth, the level of science and technology has improved significantly. Yueyang Torch Entrepreneurship Service Center, Yueyang Overseas Students Pioneer Park, Kang Wang High-tech Park SME Entrepreneurship Base and other scientific and technological service systems have been further improved to attract technical talents to lead incubating enterprises. Strengthen scientific and technological management functions and innovation, speed up the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, create favorable conditions for enterprise development in many ways, and a number of advanced scientific and technological enterprises have grown rapidly, which has promoted the rapid development of high-tech industries in the whole region. At present, there are 36 high-tech enterprises in the whole region, including four national and provincial torch programs and scientific and technological innovation fund projects 10, key high-tech industrialization projects10, 26 cooperative projects in Industry-University-Research, and 275 scientific and technological achievements transformation and patent technology implementation. Jingda Biology cooperated with Central South University and Hunan University to establish the first postdoctoral workstation in this area. Huizhi Technology cooperates with Hunan Institute of Science and Technology to establish a technology research and experiment center.
Seventh, the investment environment is improving. Over the past five years, the whole region has invested more than 300 million yuan to strengthen infrastructure construction such as transportation, communication, water supply, power supply and sewage discharge, and the supporting construction of industrial parks, and further optimize the investment hard environment. At the same time, we will further improve and implement various preferential policies and incentive policies for attracting investment, establish and improve a long-term mechanism to optimize the economic environment, such as the agency system for project procedures, the "one-fee system" for non-tax income of industrial enterprises above designated size, the comprehensive law enforcement and law enforcement declaration access system, the system of deadline settlement and service commitment, and the system of "optimizing the environment1/kloc-0", and the soft power of attracting investment has been significantly improved.
