At the New Generation Industrial Park, Futian's "High-quality Development Project for Guangdong Counties, Towns and Villages" Regional Collaborative Development Operations Center is rewriting the rules of growth. Backed by the "Five Shares" mechanism—co-planning, co-policy, co-investment, co-service and co-benefits—Futian breaks the old one-way transfer model and pioneers a reverse enclave economy.
Companies here keep their factories back home in less developed counties like Boluo, Heping and Xiangqiao, while showing their brand and innovation to the world from Futian's CBD. R&D and marketing stay in the center; mass production thrives in the counties. The pie gets bigger, and everyone shares the opportunities.
From AI data-center liquid cooling and esports gear to Chaoshan olive drinks and Cong Ming Ren Juice, American influencer Jim Filbird finds goodies at every stop. With APEC coming to Shenzhen, these county enterprises are ready to sell to the global market with the government's helping hand.
Join Jim Filbird, an actor playing the role of "MacArthur" in a Chinese patriotic movie, on a gold hunt through Futian, Shenzhen and discover how the district is making the pie bigger, together.
