The Guanxian Economic Development Zone in Shandong is resolutely advancing the strategy of strengthening the zone through industry, accelerating the transition from old to new growth drivers, and implementing the "chain leader system." Focusing on the zone’s two signature leading industries:the specialty industrial cluster for green and smart manufacturing in the high-quality steel plate industry chain extension, and the specialty industrial cluster for the full-chain low-carbon and digital textile industry. The zone is focusing on advancing major project construction, continuously expanding the scope of enterprise services, and accelerating efforts to “fill gaps, extend, and strengthen industrial chains.” Guided by new development concepts, it is fully committed to building a high-ground for industrial cluster development, with the radiating and driving role of the regional economic center becoming increasingly evident.Recently, the high-quality steel plate value chain extension and green intelligent manufacturing industrial cluster was recognized as a 2022 Shandong Provincial Specialized Industrial Cluster by the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, while the low-carbon digital textile full-chain industrial cluster was designated as a 2022 Liaocheng Municipal Specialized Industrial Cluster by the Liaocheng Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology.
