What are the prospects for development in the Pearl River Delta?

The innovation capacity of the Pearl River Delta (PRD), represented by Shenzhen, is growing, and at the same time, the ability to gather innovation factors is also rising. So, how is the innovation factor agglomeration capacity among the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta? We will analyze this below. Root

1 nine cities in the Pearl River Delta to form a gradient more obvious pattern of innovation factor agglomeration capacity

In 2017, the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta innovation factor agglomeration capacity rankings are Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing, according to the natural discontinuity grading method, the Pearl River Delta nine cities can be divided into three tiers, the first tier of the Shenzhen, Guangzhou, the innovation factor agglomeration capacity composite index reached 1.0% respectively, the first tier of the Shenzhen, Guangzhou, innovation factor agglomeration ability of the first tier of the Pearl River Delta. The first level is Shenzhen and Guangzhou, with the comprehensive index of innovation factor agglomeration capacity reaching 1887 and 1344 respectively, much higher than that of other cities; the second level is Foshan and Dongguan, with the comprehensive index of innovation factor agglomeration capacity reaching 430 and 383 respectively; the third level is Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen, and Zhaoqing, with the comprehensive index of innovation factor agglomeration capacity reaching 277, 276, 212, 207, and 100 respectively.

While the first level is Shenzhen, the first level is Guangzhou, and the second is Guangzhou, with the comprehensive index of innovation factor agglomeration capacity reaching 277 and 212, 207, and 100 respectively.

2 Factor Aggregation Capability

The ranking of factor agglomeration capability is in the order of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Zhuhai, and Zhaoqing, with factor agglomeration capability of 1510, 965, 344, 217, 208, 189, 138, 135, and 100, respectively. The number of doctors, the whole society R & D investment funds, the number of venture capital funds, the number of invention patent authorization are ranked first in the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta, these four indicators in the Pearl River Delta nine cities between the gap is obvious, especially the number of venture capital funds, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai is much higher than the other cities, respectively, about 2,263 times as many as Zhaoqing, 325 times as many as 273 times as many as the number of venture capital funds.

3 Platform agglomeration capacity

Platform agglomeration capacity in the order of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Jiangmen, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Zhaoqing, platform agglomeration capacity index of 2231, 1028, 398, 241, 241, 207, 179, 136, 100. Among the indicators, except for the number of innovation platforms above the provincial level, Shenzhen ranks 1st among the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta in terms of the number of high-tech enterprises, the amount of funding for key disciplines, the comprehensive strength of national high-tech zones and the number of science and technology business incubators. The number of high-tech enterprises, the amount of funding for key disciplines, the number of science and technology business incubators and other indexes in the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta gap is obvious, Shenzhen is about 39 times as much as Zhaoqing, 28 times, 12 times.

4 Mechanisms of agglomeration capacity

Mechanisms of agglomeration capacity in the order of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing, mechanisms of agglomeration capacity index of 10,581, 3,485, 1,383, 1,241, 1,145, 472, 444, 235, 100, respectively. Among the indicators, except for the proportion of financial expenditure on science and technology in total financial expenditure and the number of technological achievements transferred from universities to enterprises, Shenzhen's expenditure on financial expenditure on science and technology, the turnover of technology contracts, and the amount of new IPO fund-raising by high-level enterprises are all ranked No. 1 among the nine municipalities in the Pearl River Delta. The gap between the turnover of technology contracts, the amount of new IPO capital raised by high-tech enterprises, and the financial expenditure on science and technology in the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta is obvious, with Shenzhen being about 1,735 times, 136 times and 60 times the size of Zhaoqing, respectively.

In short, the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) have formed a relatively obvious pattern of gradient in the concentration of innovation factors, with Shenzhen and Guangzhou belonging to the first tier, Foshan and Dongguan belonging to the second tier, and Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing belonging to the third tier.
