Guangzhou’s 15th Five-Year Plan prioritizes expanding the semiconductor and
integrated circuit sector, targeting breakthroughs in specialty-process chip
manufacturing, automotive-grade chip design, advanced packaging and
third-generation semiconductors. The plan aims to establish a new high-end
digital chip track and position Guangzhou as a national integrated circuit
industry “third pole” core base. It calls for accelerating major projects
including Yuexin Phase IV, backing Huangpu to attract high-end chip design,
critical materials and equipment suppliers, and advanced packaging/testing firms
to develop an analog chip supply chain; supporting Zengcheng to focus on
intelligent sensors and specialty-process chip manufacturing; and supporting
Nansha to build a wide-bandgap semiconductor industry cluster.
