GETFZ's industrial strength continues to rise

Guiyang Economic and Technological Development Zone's (GETDZ) industrial landscape has taken shape during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), anchored by three major clusters: advanced equipment manufacturing, electronic information manufacturing, and tobacco manufacturing.

Over the past five years, GETDZ has recorded steady growth in industrial output, with the total value of enterprises above the designated size expected to exceed 80 billion yuan ($11.2 billion) in 2025. Industrial investment now accounts for 51.6 percent of total investment, reflecting a steadily optimized investment structure.

The zone has introduced 395 new investment projects, including 129 projects each valued at over 100 million yuan. Cumulative foreign trade reached 5.95 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 93 percent, while actual utilized foreign investment totaled $400 million, ranking first in the city.

A total of 130 science and technology projects at the municipal level or above have been implemented, and GETDZ has also been approved as a national pilot park to build China's intellectual property powerhouse, with the number of invention patents reaching 34 per 10,000 people, which is above the national average.
