As one of the three key industries to be developed and supported under the Guangdong Provincial Department of Culture’s cultural industry development plan for the 12th Five-Year Plan period (tourism, performing arts equipment, and animation), the “Guangdong Performing Arts Equipment Industry Cluster” aims to create a platform for direct communication between the industry and government agencies. This platform enables companies to convey their needs to the relevant government departments, thereby securing their support and guidance. It also provides references and assistance for the decision-making and management processes of these government agencies. By handling any tasks assigned by the government promptly, this cluster helps to create an environment characterized by government oversight, effective interaction between the government and businesses, and harmony. It further strengthens the bridge of communication between the industry and the government, enhancing the influence and status of Guangdong’s performing arts equipment industry both in China and around the world.
On July 21, 2011, a meeting to prepare for the establishment of this cluster was held in the conference room on the 14th floor of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Culture. Wang Yequn, deputy director of the department, along with the head of the Market and Industry Division, leaders from the Guangdong Performing Arts Association, and the managers of fifteen selected leading enterprises, gathered to discuss matters related to the cluster’s daily operations, working procedures, its functions, how the government can play a role, how to serve as a useful advisor to the government, as well as issues related to industry development and policy support.
As one of the representatives of the fifteen leading enterprises, Ma Limin, general manager of Guangzhou Siquande Lighting Co., Ltd., attended the meeting.
