On December 9th, Longhua District held the High-Quality Development Conference on Industry-Finance Integration at the International Cooperation Center, where it announced a batch of landmark industry-finance integration outcomes in one go, including the landing of a municipal-level low-altitude economy industry fund, a Pre-REITs fund, two AIC funds, and a 100-billion-yuan comprehensive credit line.
As a key platform for Longhua District to expand its financial “circle of friends” and cultivate new-quality productive forces, the conference brought together leading investment institutions such as CITIC Securities, ABC Capital, CCB Investment, BOC International, BOCOM International, China Merchants Fund, Shenzhen Capital Group, and Shenzhen Guarantee Group, representatives from more than 10 banks, and over 30 local enterprises. Looking toward the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, Longhua District will continue to advance the five key tasks of the financial sector, using financial “living water” to fuel industries to “sprout and grow into towering trees”, marking a new chapter for industry-finance integration.
10 Billion-yuan Fund Cluster Lands to Boost Leading Enterprises
“Longhua is a major traditional manufacturing district in Shenzhen, with industry accounting for over 40% of its GDP. We must take serving the real economy, advanced manufacturing, and major project construction as key priorities for promoting the agglomeration and high-quality development of the financial sector. The crucial task is to facilitate coordination between AICs and local capital, link industries with finance, and bridge the ‘last mile’ for connecting bank capital with industrial projects,” a relevant person in charge of Longhua District Development and Reform Bureau stated. At the conference, Longhua District announced the landing of a 10-billion-yuan-level strategic emerging industry fund cluster. Particularly notable among them are the Shenzhen Capital-CCB Longhua AIC Fund and the Shenzhen Guarantee-ABC Longhua AIC Fund, each with a total scale of 2 billion yuan. These two funds will focus on tracks such as digital economy, new energy, high-end medical devices, integrated circuits, and artificial intelligence within Shenzhen’s “20+8” industrial clusters and Longhua’s “1+2+3” industrial system.
As of the end of November 2025, Longhua District has 39 domestic listed companies, ranking 4th among all districts in Shenzhen; the total market value of its domestic listed companies has exceeded 1.9 trillion yuan, ranking 3rd in the city; and over 80% of these listed companies are engaged in advanced manufacturing. Against the backdrop of nationwide pilot policies for AICs, the collaboration between this major industrial district and “patient capital” will give full play to the AIC funds’ strengths of long cycles, large amounts, and high risk tolerance, enabling a number of high-quality enterprises to accelerate their development through the multi-level capital market. At the conference, the Shenzhen Guarantee-ABC Longhua AIC Fund signed agreements for its first batch of intended investment projects, achieving “operation upon announcement”. These projects include local high-quality pre-IPO enterprises such as Angpai Technology, Guihua Intelligence, and Jingtaida, which focus on liquid cooling heat dissipation, precision laser equipment, and automated testing equipment tracks.
More “Precise” Financial Supply Empowers Tech Startups
“High-tech enterprises face not only the challenges of difficult and expensive financing but also the need for full industrial chain empowerment driven by capital. This conference has built an excellent platform for precise docking and collaborative linkage among capital providers, industrial players, and enterprises,” said a relevant person in charge of Xinjie Energy, a specialized and sophisticated enterprise in Longhua District that participated in the conference. As a hidden champion enterprise in Longhua focusing on eVTOL solid-state batteries, Xinjie Energy has just completed a several-hundred-million-yuan Series A financing.
In the first three quarters of 2025, Longhua District’s advanced manufacturing maintained strong growth momentum. The district’s industrial added value increased by 5.5% year-on-year; the output of high-tech products such as industrial robots, integrated circuits, and civil unmanned aerial vehicles rose by 26.9%, 33.6%, and 58.3% respectively; and the profits of industrial enterprises above designated size grew by 24.7%, maintaining an upward trend for five consecutive months. The fertile ground of advanced manufacturing in Longhua continues to nurture new growth drivers. In the recently announced 7th batch of national-level specialized and sophisticated “little giant” enterprises in 2025, Longhua added 47 new specialized and sophisticated “little giant” enterprises and reviewed 34, bringing the district’s total number of such enterprises to over 182, ranking only behind Nanshan and Bao’an districts in Shenzhen.
“For specialized and sophisticated enterprises as well as high-growth and start-up enterprises, we continue to increase inclusive financial support, expanding coverage while focusing on key areas. With a ‘financial toolbox’ in one hand and enterprise demand lists in the other, precise matching between the two can achieve ‘1+1>2’ results,” a relevant person in charge of the Longhua Financial Association explained. Building on the foundation of having provided credit support of 160 billion yuan to over 31,000 enterprise entities, the conference saw a “financial banking consortium” launch a matrix service of “100-billion-yuan credit line + exclusive financial products + preferential loan interest rates”. Targeting market entities at different development stages and with different industry characteristics, such as gazelle enterprises, unicorn enterprises, specialized and sophisticated enterprises, little giant enterprises, manufacturing single-item champions, and hidden champions, the service will create precise profiles and tailor personalized financial services, enabling enterprises to grow into towering trees on Longhua’s fertile ground for advanced manufacturing.
As the “14th Five-Year Plan” draws to a close, Longhua, as a major manufacturing district in Shenzhen, has reaped fruitful results from its practice of irrigating the industrial soil with financial living water. Looking ahead to the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, this vibrant region will continue to deepen industry-finance integration, strengthen digital empowerment, and direct more financial resources to precisely support every growth stage from “tech seedlings” to “industrial giants”, steadily advancing along the path of high-quality development where industries boost finance and finance drives industrial growth.
