Guangxi (Shenzhen) Industrial Cooperation Center

Economic Liaison and Investment Promotion Center of the People's Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in Shenzhen

The Guangxi (Shenzhen) Industrial Cooperation Center and the Economic Liaison and Investment Promotion Center of the People's Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in Shenzhen serve as the "Five New Platforms" established by the Autonomous Region's Party Committee and Government in Shenzhen: a new-type investment promotion platform, a new-type industrial investment platform, a new-type technological innovation platform, a new-type talent attraction platform, and a new-type regional cooperation platform. They are innovative platforms created to proactively align with the advanced productive forces of the Pearl River Delta region and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, accelerate the building of a modern industrial system with new quality productive forces, and drive high-quality development in Guangxi, undertaking the "five-in-one" functions of investment promotion, industrial investment, technological innovation, talent attraction, and regional cooperation.

The Center adheres to government leadership, with the industrial investment platform company as the main entity, industrial parks as the backbone, and policy services as support. Operating through market-oriented approaches, it firmly grasps the new trends, new characteristics, and new challenges in investment promotion, establishes a new model and new ecosystem of "investment + promotion," and drives the organic integration and virtuous cycle of capital with technology and industry. The center will also fully leverage the innovative environment, talent, and achievements of the Pearl River Delta region and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Adhering to the principles of industry orientation, market-driven operation, innovative cooperation, and multi-party collaboration, the center will organically integrate into the innovation chain, industry chain, capital chain, and talent chain of developed eastern regions through investment attraction, industrial investment, technological innovation, talent recruitment, and regional cooperation. This will effectively drive the aggregation of various innovation elements toward Guangxi, create a new model of investment attraction under the new circumstances, explore new mechanisms for developing new quality productive forces in Guangxi, and generate new momentum for Guangxi to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system.

【SMM Steel】Polish steel group Cognor Holding raised rebar prices nearly 20% effective early 2026 amid a gradual market recovery and EU regulatory changes. The company expects steps to partially offset 2025 losses and improve financial results in coming quarters. A collapse in rebar prices due to Chinese dumping and weak European demand led to revenue falling >9% y/y to PLN2.08bn. Cognor expects operating metrics to improve in Q1 2026 and a return to profitability in Q2. EU regulatory changes, including CBAM and new market protection tools, could reduce external steel supply by ~50%, supporting capacity utilization and price stabilization.
