Greater efforts should be made to improve the competitiveness of advanced manufacturing industries and continue to give play to their role as an important support to the economic growth C this is a key principle which Shanghai follows in the economic development. Shanghai shall persist with the endeavor to attract foreign investment in advanced manufacturing industries, push forward technological innovations vigorously, implement the branding strategy actively and accelerate t he construction of key industrial bases.

Equipment manufacturing industry: Enhancing the development of the complementary projects to the power transmission and distribution equipment so as to make Shanghai the R & D base and Manufacturing base with complete power transmission and distribution equipment of high voltage, super voltage, middle and low voltage and a sales volume of RMB 48-50 billion as of 2010. As for the power plant equipment manufacturing industry, the thermal power shall be developed in the direction of super equipment, large capacity and high parameters and clean energy such as wind power, nuclear power and water power shall be developed. Shanghai shall also endeavor to build up its own trolley traffic equipment base, RMB 11 billion in sales volume as of 2010. Besides, contribution to the scientific and technological reconstruction of heavy equipment manufacturing industry shall be enlarged so as to enhance the processing ability in a comprehensive manner and realize a sales volume of RMB 10 billion as of 2010. Around the target that Shanghai shall strive to make a world class semi-conductor industrial base, an industrial chain of semi-conductor equipment shall take shape in 2010. At the same time, a highland of technology and production of the instrument control industry shall be established in China.

IT product manufacturing industry: the total output value is predicted to reach above RMB 500 billion in 2007. According to the “11th Five-year Plan”, focus should be laid on the development of integrated circuit, digital display, state microeconomic industrial bases, bio-pharmacy bases and the information system. It is predicted that the output value of the integrated circuit industry shall reach RMB 60 billion, up to 20% of the country, while that of the opto-electronic industry shall reach 100 billion or so. The construction of flat panel display industrial base in Shanghai makes another focus of the “11th Five-year Plan”, Expecting a RMB 100 billion or so annual output value, it shall especially pay attention to the development of semiconductor lighting, and monitors of high definition and sensibility thus raising Shanghai to among the countries with top over R & D ability and manufacturing ability as far as the information industry is concerned.

Automobile manufacturing industry: the automobile manufacturing industry shall maintain a high-speed growth in 2007. Sedan manufacturing bases of independent brands shall start construction successively and the development of new energy automobiles shall be further accelerated.

Petroleum processing & fine chemical manufacturing industry: with the production further released, some pilot projects shall enter into normal and stable production. It is predicted that the prime operating revenue shall reach RMB 50-55 billion in 2007, up 40%-50% over the same period of the previous year. Thus the pattern of confrontation shall gradually take shape among large-scaled petroleum dealers, transnational petroleum dealers and non-governmental dealers.

Fine steel manufacturing industry: Swift growth of the equipment manufacturing industry shall effectively drive overall development of the iron & steel industry. First pricing right of iron ores has been realized in the steel manufacturing industry, the industrial layout has been optimized and some effects have been gained by the strategy of going global. There are many advantages endowed with the fine steel manufacturing industry.

Ship-building industry: As one of the 3 ship-building bases defined under key construction, Shanghai shall pay attention to the construction of Changxing, Waigaoqiao and Lin’gang shipbuilding bases.

Pharmaceutical industry: the annual growth rate of bio-technological industry is expected to reach above 35% and common healthcare instruments and equipments shall be further developed and specialized.

Aviation manufacturing industry: Large-scaled aircraft projects shall be defined as one of the “16 key scientific and technological programs to be broken through in the coming 15 years”. Thus Shanghai shall develop large-scaled civil aircrafts and develop the city into a base of civil aircraft
