11月28日上午，在2021亚洲青年领袖论坛“粤港澳大湾区合作发展”主题论坛中，广州建筑集团董事长梁湖清发表了题为《大机遇 大优势 大未来》的主旨演讲。

全文如下：

各位领导、各位来宾、女士们、先生们：

大家好！

首先非常感谢主办方盛情邀请，让我们有机会能一起畅谈粤港澳大湾区的合作发展。今天我演讲的题目是《大机遇 大优势 大未来》。

推进粤港澳大湾区建设是以习近平同志为核心的党中央作出的重大决策部署，是习近平总书记亲自谋划、亲自部署、亲自推动的国家战略，是新时代推动形成全面开放新格局的新举措。作为粤港澳大湾区城市建设的参与者、主力军，我们广州建筑共享了粤港澳大湾区建设带来的巨大机遇，粤港澳大湾区也见证了我们广州建筑集团成长为世界500强企业的崭新篇章。是粤港澳大湾区成就了广州建筑，助力了广州建筑，让我们有机会站在世界企业的宝塔尖上，与各位在座的优秀亚洲青年代表、青年领袖、杰出优秀企业家共谋粤港澳大湾区的合作，共享粤港澳大湾区的发展。

一、大机遇无处不在。自2017年《深化粤港澳合作 推进大湾区建设的框架协议》签署以来，从中央到地方高度重视、高位推动，先后出台多项政策大力支持，湾区建设取得显著性的阶段性的成就。到2020年，粤港澳大湾区GDP总额已经达到11.5万亿，约占全国当年GDP的1/7。今年上半年，粤港澳大湾区11个城市GDP总额为5.9万亿，比广东省全省还高出1000多亿。据预测，到2030年，粤港澳大湾区生产总值GDP将达到30万亿，居全球所有湾区之首。庞大的经济体量充分说明了粤港澳大湾区空间广阔、潜力巨大。

今年上半年，广东省建筑业签订合同总额为4.2万亿，同比增长15%，这表明建筑业作为粤港澳大湾区支柱产业之一，现在面临一个非常好的发展形势。特别是当前新基建、基础设施建设、乡村振兴、新型城镇化规模不断扩大，为粤港澳大湾区建筑业的发展带来了非常难得的历史机遇。粤港澳三地建筑企业一定要抢抓机遇，顺势而上，深化交流，加强合作，推动粤港澳大湾区发展的同时，实现企业转型升级和价值提升。

二、大优势勇立潮头。作为中国的顶层设计之一，粤港澳大湾区是中国深化对外开放，实现经济高质量发展的战略安排。它占据了天时、地利、人和以及独特的优势和发展前景，吸引无数企业家在这里扎根发展。从建筑业的视角来看，我们认为粤港澳大湾区的优势有以下几个特点。

1、区位优势突出。粤港澳大湾区地处改革开放的前沿地带，我们广州建筑就是粤港澳大湾区成长起来的华南地区综合实力最强的建筑企业，也是广州打造万亿级建筑产业链的链主企业。现在我们正在抓紧推动成立广州市建筑企业联盟，通过发挥自身优势，整合行业资源，发挥龙头带动作用，实现企业抱团协同发展。

2、政策优势明显。为打造国际一流的营商环境，大湾区各地政府用“绣花”功夫推动提升营商环境。我们在拓展大湾区市场的同时，明显感觉到这种变化，各地点对点、一站式服务更加畅顺，因为我们在人员、资源、机制上对接协同，大大提升了项目落地和建设的速度。

3、科技优势明显。广州本土世界500强企业有5家，在全国排名前列；国家高新技术企业1.2万家，在省会城市排名第一。集聚了广东省80%的高校、70%的科研人员，为我们开展产学研深度合作，攻克卡脖子关键技术提供了便利条件。我们集团现在推动成立数字建筑研究院，就是要积极利用大湾区的科技资源禀赋，赋能企业转型升级，高质量发展，掌握行业的话语权。

三、大未来大有可为。当今世界处于百年未有之大变局，我国处于近代以来最好的发展时期，粤港澳大湾区是中国联系世界的重要纽带，特别是在以国内大循环为主体、国内国际两个双循环相互促进的新发展格局中，粤港澳大湾区成为国内国际双循环重要的战略支点，有大有可为的历史机遇。

1、市场拓展，建设活力湾区。近几年，我们广州建筑已经创设出一套能够实现政企双赢、促进各地建筑企业高质量发展的国资合作广州模式。未来，我们将依托广州建筑品牌和特级资质优势，继续深耕粤港澳大湾区以及周边市场，实现区域公司粤港澳大湾区9+2城市群全覆盖，市场布点、飞机1小时经济圈全覆盖。同时，单位复制广州模式，继续走出去，开拓“一带一路”沿线市场，集团力争到2025年实现营业收入5000亿元。

2、装配式建筑，建设绿色湾区。我们积极响应支持国家碳达峰、碳中和的战略目标，紧跟建筑业发展潮流，大力发展装配式建筑，充分发挥属下40家高新技术企业、2家研究院、7家家居设计院、4个博士后工作站、1个国家级工程分中心的技术优势，在广州东南西北中布局7个自动化程度较高的国家级装配式建筑基地，与香港建筑学院合作，加速推动黄埔西基岛粤港澳大湾区高端装备制造创新中心，建设打造国家级粤港澳大湾区绿色建筑科技创新展示平台以及绿色产业示范基地，已初步形成装配式绿色建筑广建模式，构建了具有自主知识产权的广州建筑装配式技术体系，引领华南地区建筑产业全面绿色转型，助力建设绿色大湾区。

3、科技创新，建设智慧湾区。作为世界500强企业，大有大的样子，强有强的水平。我们广州建筑始终高度重视科技创新，始终坚信创新是第一动力，人才是第一资源。我们实施了全球百名博士后引进工程，在全世界招引高层次人才。目前集团博士数百人，这些人在集团20多个行业领军专家带领下，组成了数十个科技创新团队，研究和探索建筑领域的全局性、前瞻性、战略性、前沿性的重大和关键技术，形成了超高清施工技术、大型公共建筑及场馆建设、古建筑修缮及维修、地下空间等若干个专业领域的特色优势，打造了一大批广州标志性建筑，创造了多项世界纪录和世界新速度。

在座的各位，再做一个广告，在广州电视台看得到的地标性建筑，80%以上是我们广州建筑建造的。未来，我们将继续向全世界引进高端人才，积极打造人才高地，对高层次人才给予1000万元的安家费，营造更为优越的营商环境和科技创新氛围，助力提升粤港澳大湾区科技创新能力。

各位领导、各位来宾、青年朋友，站在全面社会主义现代化建设的新征程，站在第二个百年奋斗目标的新起点上，粤港澳大湾区建设正乘风破浪，扬帆起航。我们广州建筑将更加紧密团结在以习近平同志为核心的党中央周围，坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，深入贯彻落实党的十九届六中全会精神，紧紧聚焦《粤港澳大湾区发展规划纲要》，加深与亚洲青年领袖以及优秀杰出青年、先进企业、政府机构的友好合作，为共同打造国际一流的湾区和世界级城市群作出新的更大的贡献。


On 28 November, Liang Huqing, chairman of Guangzhou Municipal Construction Group (GMC), delivered a keynote speech titled “"Great Opportunities, Great Strengths, and Great Future" at the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Cooperation and Development Forum of the Asia Youth Leaders Forum 2021.

The full speech is as below.

Honorable Vice Secretary-General Gao from the People's Government of Guangzhou Municipality, 
Dear dignitaries, guests, ladies, and gentlemen,
First of all, I would like to thank the organizers for their cordial invitation and for this chance to come together to discuss the cooperative development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The topic I will be talking about today is "Great Opportunities, Great Strengths, and Great Future". Promoting the development of the Greater Bay Area is set forth by the CPC Central Committee under the leadership of comrade Xi Jinping as a great policy and a national strategy that General Secretary Xi Jinping has personally planned and promoted. They are new measures for the new age that aim to drive complete opening-up. As a participant and the main force in the construction of the Greater Bay Area, GMC is reaping great benefits from the opportunities brought by the development of the Greater Bay Area.

The Greater Bay Area has borne witness to our new chapter of growing into a Fortune 500 company. The Greater Bay Area has actually made us what we are. It is our driving force and enable us to stand among the top of the business world and discuss with all young Asian representatives, young leaders, and outstanding entrepreneurs here today on cooperation and opportunities in the Greater Bay Area.

Firstly, the Greater Bay Area abounds with great opportunities. Since the signing of the "Framework Agreement on Deepening Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Cooperation in the Development of the Greater Bay Area" in 2017, there has been rapt attention from the central government to local governments, and a wide range of support policies have been released. This has helped the Greater Bay Area achieve significant success in its development. By 2020, the Greater Bay Area's GDP reached 11.5 trillion yuan, accounting for one seventh of the national GDP. In the first half of this year, the Greater Bay Area’s GDP was 5.9 trillion yuan, over 100 billion yuan more than the entire province of Guangdong. According to forecasts, by 2030 the Greater Bay Area's GDP will reach 30 trillion yuan, the highest GDP of any bay area in the world. This massive economic capacity shows that the Greater Bay Area has vast room for growth and enormous potential. 

In the first half of this year, 4.2 trillion yuan’s worth of contracts were signed in the construction industry in Guangdong Province, with a year-on-year growth of 15%. This illustrates that as one of the pillar industries in the Greater Bay Area, the construction industry is facing an exceptionally favorable developmental trend. Particularly, construction of new and traditional infrastructure, rural revitalization, and new urbanization are expanding, which brings historic opportunities for the construction industry's development in the Greater Bay Area. Construction companies in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao must grasp these opportunities to deepen communication and cooperation and to achieve their own upgrade and value enhancement while promoting the development of the Greater Bay Area.

Secondly, the Greater Bay Area boasts great strengths. As one of the most important strategies in China, the Greater Bay Area is China’s plan to deepen opening-up and pursue high-quality economic development. The area enjoys favorable geographic advantages, as well as unique strengths and developmental prospects, which has attracted countless enterprises. In terms of the construction industry, I believe these are the strengths of the Greater Bay Area:

The first one is exceptional locational strength. The Greater Bay Area was the cradle of China’s reform and opening-up. GMC is the strongest construction company that has grown out of the Greater Bay Area in the whole of south China. It is also the primary enterprise in Guangzhou’s effort to create a trillion-yuan construction value chain. We are actively promoting the establishment of an alliance of Guangzhou construction companies. We are trying to give play to our advantages for resource integration in the industry, and to act our role as a leading company in the industry for synergistic development.

The second is clear policy strength. In order to create a world-class business environment, governments across the Greater Bay Area are sparing no effort to improve business environment. When we expanded our business in the Greater Bay Area, we clearly noticed these changes of smoother point-to-point and one-stop services. Because of greater coordination of personnel, resources, and mechanisms, our projects have broken ground faster.

The third is clear scientific and technological strength. There are five Fortune 500 enterprises in Guangzhou, placing Guangzhou at the forefront nationally. There are 12,000 national-level high-tech enterprises, the highest number for any provincial capital. 80% of higher-education institutes and 70% of researchers in Guangdong Province are located here, and there is deep cooperation between businesses, universities, and research institutes, which facilitates the development of key technologies. GMC is currently pushing for the establishment of a research institute for digital architecture, which aims to use the Greater Bay Area's scientific and technological resources to empower our transformation and upgrade, high-quality development, and greater role in the industry.

Thirdly, the Greater Bay Area offers great prospects. At present the world is experiencing changes unseen in a century. China is at the best stage of development since the modern age. The Greater Bay Area represents a vital link for China to communicate with the world, especially under the new “dual-circulation” development paradigm in which domestic and overseas markets reinforce each other with the domestic market as the mainstay. Thus, the Greater Bay Area presents historic opportunities with great prospects.

Our first mission is market expansion for the development of a dynamic bay area. In recent years, GMC has already established the Guangzhou model of state-owned company cooperation that can realize mutual gains for governments and enterprises and promote the high-quality development of construction enterprises. In the future, we will rely on the GMC brand and our premium qualifications to continue developing our business in the Greater Bay Area and surrounding markets. We will establish presence in all cities in the Greater Bay Area and within one hour of transit from airports. At the same time, we will replicate this Guangzhou model as we expand our business along the Belt and Road. GMC is working hard to achieve an operating revenue of 500 billion yuan by 2025.

The second is prefabricated construction for the development of a green bay area. We have positively responded to China’s carbon peak and carbon neutrality targets, followed closely developmental trends in the construction industry, and energetically developed prefabricated construction. Relying on the technological strength of our 40 subordinate high-tech companies, two research institutes, seven home-design institutes, four postdoctoral stations, and one national-level engineering sub-branch, we have established seven national-level highly-automated prefabricated construction bases across Guangzhou. We are partnering with the Hong Kong Institute of Architects and speeding up the construction of the Greater Bay Area High-End Equipment Manufacturing Innovation Center in Jixi Island, Huangpu District, to create a national-level demonstration platform of innovation in green-construction technologies as well as a green industry demonstration base. We have formed a prefabricated green-construction model and created a patented prefabricated technology system. We will bring about a green transformation in the construction industry in South China and help promote the development of a green Greater Bay Area.

The third is technological innovation for the development of an intelligent bay area. As a Fortune 500 enterprise, we have the sense of responsibility and capabilities. At GMC, we have always attached huge importance to technological innovation. We firmly believe that innovation is the number-one driving force, and talent the number-one resource. We have launched the one hundred global doctoral-degree holders attraction program, attracting outstanding talent from across the globe. At present we employ over one hundred PhD holders. These employees, under the guidance of leading experts from over 20 different fields, have formed over 10 innovation teams. They have been researching comprehensive, forward-looking, strategic, and pioneering key technologies in the field of construction, to develop our strengths in ultra-high-definition construction technology, large public building and venue construction, ancient-building restoration and maintenance, and underground spaces, among others. We have built a multitude of landmark buildings in Guangzhou, breaking many world records and setting new global standards for speed. Of the landmark buildings that can be seen on Guangzhou Television, over 80% were built by GMC. In the future, we will continue to attract high-end talent from across the world and become a hub for talent. We will provide housing allowance of 10 million yuan for high-end talent, and promote an even more outstanding business environment and atmosphere of technological innovation, to help enhance the Greater Bay Area's technological innovation capacity.

Dignitaries, guests, and young friends,
On this new journey towards a modern socialist country in all respect and the starting point toward the second centennial goal, the development of the Greater Bay Area is in full swing. GMC will follow the CPC Central Committee with comrade Xi Jinping as the core, uphold Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and implement the guiding principles of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the CPC, and closely focus on the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. We will deepen cooperation with the young Asian leaders and outstanding youths, as well as advanced enterprises and governmental institutions, to contribute to the development of a world-class bay area and city cluster.
