In addition to building China Marine Economy Expo and The International Cooperation and Development Forum on Marine Economy, Shenzhen SEZ Construction And Development Group Co.,Ltd. is also developing a marine industrial park, the China-EU Blue Industry Park. In the future, the park will focus on the development of emerging marine industries such as high-end marine equipment, marine electronic information, modern marine services, marine Eco-environmental protection, and new marine energy.
The China-EU Blue Industry Park, as the core start-up project of Shenzhen’s emerging marine industry base, was inaugurated on December 8, 2017 at the closing ceremony of the “EU-China Blue Year” and the first China-EU Blue Industry Cooperation Forum, with guests including WANG Hong, Director of State Oceanic Administration of the People’s Republic of China, and Carmenu Vella, Committee Member for the Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of European Commission.
Shenzhen was one of the first cities in China to reform and open up, with the first special economic zone in China, ranking 1st in China City Competitiveness Ranking with a GDP of about $400 billion in 2019. Shenzhen has a favorable business environment and supports the development of various industries. At present, Shenzhen is actively building a global marine center city and has introduced a series of policies and measures to support development of the marine industry, including: a RMB 50 billion marine industry development fund established to provide funding for potential marine industry projects; the government will provide RMB 250 million annually to support marine industry projects; and a maximum of RMB 100 million in funding will be provided to qualified research institutions, scientific laboratories, and high-level talent teams; and rent reductions will be offered for industry-oriented projects and rent-free housing or incentive subsidies will be provided for qualified and outstanding talents.
The China-EU Blue Industry Park is now organizing global investment. We expect all parties to reach cooperation and jointly promote the development of the marine industry by introducing marine industry projects and professionals, setting up marine scientific research institutions, marine service organizations, cooperation platforms or liaison offices, and joining in the China-Europe Blue Industrial Park to carry out various forms of win-win cooperation.
