Recently, the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Plan Outline" issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council has aroused great concern in the textile industry. The "Planning Outline" clearly puts forward "accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing", "creating a high-level scientific and technological innovation carrier and platform", "accelerating the structural adjustment of the manufacturing industry", "focusing on promoting the green transformation of traditional manufacturing, developing green products, and creating a green supply chain" And other requirements. How to catch this policy express, integrate resources and promote the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry? To this end, this reporter interviewed the relevant heads of the textile and garment industry associations in Guangdong and Hong Kong, experts and scholars from textile universities and institutions, and these industry professionals talked about their views and suggestions on industrial development from their respective perspectives around the development and construction of the Greater Bay Area.

Guangdong and Hong Kong Synergetic Development Effect Enhance

Yang Xun, chairman of the Hong Kong Garment Industry General Chamber of Commerce and chairman of Jeanswest International (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., said in an interview with a reporter from China Textile News that the proposal of the "Outline of the Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" is for Guangdong and Hong Kong. Strengthening the docking of production, education and research will undoubtedly bring more direct promotion, which is a good thing for the textile industry. Before the release of the "Planning Outline", the Hong Kong garment industry has been working hard to promote research and development for many years. For example, the Department of Textiles and Clothing of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University has a strong research and development capability, but because some research and development work is funded by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, it is in The promotion and use of the results is subject to certain limitations. Hong Kong has strong original design capabilities in the fashion industry. Now that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, it can break the boundaries of the past. In the future, Hong Kong and the Mainland will exchange and share scientific research results, in product design, marketing and other fields. In terms of work development, better play the synergy effect and promote the overall level of the textile manufacturing industry in the Greater Bay Area.

He also said that the current industrial transformation and upgrading has become the consensus of the development of the domestic textile industry, and the industry is very concerned about how to improve efficiency. In this regard, Guangdong and Hong Kong can "use their own strengths to supplement the needs of others" according to the needs of their respective industries, and conduct exchanges and cooperation in a wider field to promote the better development of the textile industry. Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, as a new Greater Bay Area developed after New York, Tokyo and San Francisco, will certainly enhance the strength of domestic scientific and technological research and development and promote the improvement of the overall economic level of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

Scientific research and personnel training get stronger support

The "Planning Outline" proposes to establish an international science and technology innovation center and strengthen basic research. Tao Xiaoming, director of the Intelligent Wearable R & D Center of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and professor of the Department of Textile and Apparel, said that from the background of the development of the textile industry, it will bring about several changes. First, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao will become an innovative community in the future. Hong Kong has a limited area, and the textile and garment industry used to be concentrated in the more traditional industrial model, while the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will provide a broader scientific research platform for the development of emerging industries. Second, the characteristics of the traditional textile industry developing in the direction of green and intelligent will be more prominent. Third, by strengthening basic research, it will bring long-term development momentum to the development of the textile industry, making scientific research the most fundamental driving force to lead the development of the industry and society.

She said that my country's social and economic development has reached the present stage. To gradually develop from "following" to the "leading" stage, it must have solid basic research and talent investment. The construction of the Greater Bay Area has a large demand for talents. Now the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Shenzhen, Guangdong and other places continue to increase investment in scientific research, which is a good phenomenon. The construction of the Greater Bay Area will bring a good ecology to scientific research and talent training. surroundings. In addition, the planning of the Greater Bay Area will enable Hong Kong to better integrate into the country's technological innovation system, and enable Hong Kong's scientific research forces to participate in the country's key scientific research projects. This is a rare opportunity for Hong Kong. Conducive to better play the role of collaborative innovation.

The "Planning Outline" also proposes to vigorously develop emerging industries. In this regard, Professor Tao Xiaoming believes that the development of intelligent equipment systems such as health, biomedicine, and network interconnection will be an important direction for the future development of the textile industry. At present, doctoral students from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University have integrated mobile Internet and traditional textile technology, and industrialized the scientific research results of smart wearable textiles in Zhuhai and Shenzhen. Some results have been achieved in smart wearable systems.1000More than $million in sales. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University will continue to provide technical support to promote the market-oriented transformation of the results. In addition, the Intelligent Wearable R & D Center of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University is developing an intelligent wearable energy system to supply intelligent wearable textiles by absorbing, converting and storing energy from human actions and the surrounding environment. With broad-spectrum antibacterial, sterilization functionPHVBFiber will also be available this year.3On display at the China International Textile Fabrics and Accessories (Spring and Summer) Expo held in Shanghai in January. These cutting-edge textile scientific research projects related to medical treatment and sports will develop faster in the planning of the Greater Bay Area through the new model of cross-border integration and development.

Guangdong Textile to Be "Fashion Bay Area"

2017Since then, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has been upgraded to a national strategy to relay the local planning of the Pearl River Delta. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is actually the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing9Cities plus Hong Kong and Macau2a special administrative region. Total Area56500square kilometers,2016YearGDPFor1.4Trillions of dollars, per capitaGDPReach2.12million dollars. These regions are one of the regions with the deepest degree of reform, the highest degree of opening to the outside world and the highest level of economic development in China. In the future, through the interconnection of hardware and the integration of software, a world-class bay area will be born here, forming a world-class urban agglomeration.

Guangdong is an important part of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,2018The development environment of Guangdong garment industry is facing new changes, from international trade friction to domestic economic adjustment, from the slowdown of consumption growth to the increase of comprehensive cost, from the change of industrial factors to the reorganization of competition pattern, all have been tested. In this context, looking for new development opportunities in the construction of the Greater Bay Area has become a topic of great concern to local textile and garment enterprises.

Bu Xiaoqiang, president of the Guangdong Clothing and Apparel Industry Association, said in an interview with a reporter from China Textile News that through the establishment of the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Fashion Industry Alliance", Guangdong's traditional clothing industry has been further expanded to a larger scope, and the special launch The "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Fashion Week" has built a new platform for the development of the fashion industry in Guangdong and the entire Greater Bay Area. With the promulgation of the "Planning Outline", Guangdong should not only reposition the local industry on this basis, but also establish a new industrial development model to guide enterprises and clusters to transform and upgrade to a new development model.

Bu Xiaoqiang thought Guangzhou as an example, introduced its development. Trade is Guangzhou's strong point, and it has gathered several in the Liuhua business circle in Yuexiu District.10Home textile and clothing professional market. In the past, most of these professional markets were engaged in clothing and apparel wholesale, with a single business model, which could not adapt to the future development model of big fashion. Today, through the transformation and upgrading of the professional market, through the creation of Guangdong Fashion week, Red Cotton International Fashion week, Liuhua clothing Festival, Guangdong International Fashion Art Research Institute and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Fashion week, the professional market represented by Red Cotton International Fashion City has been gorgeously transformed into an international cutting-edge fashion trade platform, which has effectively promoted the clothing circulation industry to move towards internationalization. "The pace of transformation and upgrading of Guangdong's fashion industry not only closely echoes the launch of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area plan, but also demonstrates its unique foresight in the development of the industry." Bu Xiaoqiang said.
