"In the field of communication and data transmission, as well as in the field of new energy vehicles, nearly 70% of the core upstream and downstream supporting enterprises or suppliers are gathered in the Greater Bay Area, which is an important consideration for us to choose to settle the industrial base in South China in Panyu District. According to Shi Qi, at the beginning of 2021, AVIC Optoelectronics plans to build a regional business headquarters integrating R&D, production and business services in the Greater Bay Area in combination with its own business expansion strategy, mainly for local customers. After a comprehensive investigation of major cities in the Greater Bay Area, AVIC Optoelectronics believes that Panyu District is located in the geographical core of the Greater Bay Area, with a very developed transportation network, and most of the company's customers and suppliers in the Greater Bay Area are concentrated within "one hour's drive". In addition, Panyu District has a solid manufacturing foundation, and a number of complete industrial chain supporting clusters have been formed in the district, especially in the automotive industry, advanced manufacturing, and high-end equipment.
"When I chose AVIC Optoelectronics to invest in Panyu, in addition to the location and industrial advantages of Panyu, I was moved by the sincerity of Panyu to treat enterprises. AVIC Optoelectronics South China Industrial Base (Phase I) can be promoted quickly and effectively, relying on the strong support of the Panyu District Party Committee and the District Government. Speaking of Panyu's investment environment, Shi Qi was deeply touched. He believes that all departments at all levels in Panyu attach great importance to the investment environment, and the promised policies can be fulfilled, and actively help enterprises solve difficulties.
"What impressed me the most is that our project urgently needs to speed up the power line and increase the capacity before it is put into operation, Panyu District immediately organized relevant departments to coordinate and consult, work overtime to promote the construction progress of the substation, and complete the construction of 5 'power transmission' special lines half a month ahead of schedule, which provides a guarantee for the smooth operation of our project. Shi Qi said that since the settlement of the AVIC Optoelectronics South China Industrial Base project, Panyu District has provided front-line services and active services, made every effort to do a good job in guarantee and service, and followed up with special personnel and special classes throughout the whole process, providing full life cycle services for the landing project to start, build, put into operation and achieve results, which greatly accelerated the project construction process. At the same time, Panyu District actively assists enterprises to solve the problems of employees from other places to enter the household and children go to school, which solves the worries of enterprises and truly allows enterprises to travel lightly and accelerate their take-off.
