We must go global as a united front, not fight our own battles. Only by pooling our strengths can we unlock broader development opportunities overseas." Li Kai, Deputy Director of the Foshan Municipal Bureau of Commerce, emphasized during his on-site remarks that the machinery and equipment sector is currently experiencing a window of opportunity for exports. Amidst the trend of capacity spillover, robust demand for high-value-for-money equipment exists across multiple global markets. Enterprises in Nanhai can leverage their accumulated technological advantages domestically to reduce investment and achieve significant profit growth. He encouraged association members to engage in frequent communication with companies that have already expanded overseas, fostering mutual assistance. This approach enables equipment-holding enterprises to find sales channels while those with distribution networks can drive growth for their partners.
Shao Kaijian, Party Secretary of the Nanhai District Federation of Industry and Commerce, similarly emphasized the importance of collective overseas expansion. Currently, the district's overseas business initiatives have entered a new 2.0 phase. Aligning with Nanhai's ongoing efforts to deepen the reform of business associations, the district encourages these associations to leverage their resource integration and industrial service capabilities. This will facilitate greater collaboration among upstream and downstream enterprises in industrial chains for coordinated overseas expansion, thereby further enhancing Nanhai's position within the global trade network.
On one hand, accelerate the pace of global expansion; on the other, maintain a strong foothold in the domestic market, pursuing a dual-track strategy of both domestic and international trade. Li Kai called for reinforcing the concept of the "Greater Foshan Market," urging the Nanhai District Machinery Equipment Industry Association to play a coordinating role in serving the city's machinery sector. The government will also build bridges to help enterprises expand their market share within Foshan.
Secretary Shao Kaijian stated that under the current economic conditions, cross-industry and cross-regional multi-point collaboration is more essential than ever. Building upon its foundation in Foshan and its reach across the province, the Nanhai District Machinery and Equipment Industry Association can establish an industrial public service platform. This platform will integrate resources across the entire industrial chain, promote internal industrial circulation, help all enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, and enhance the overall competitiveness of the equipment manufacturing sector.
