On April 28, the Hunan Province Modern Petrochemical Industry Chain Collaborative Development and Cooperation Matchmaking Conference was held in Yueyang. Wang Yigou, Vice Governor of the Hunan Provincial People’s Government and Head of the Provincial Modern Petrochemical Industry Chain, attended the conference and delivered a speech, while Li Zhi, Deputy Secretary of the CPC Yueyang Municipal Committee and Mayor of the Yueyang Municipal People’s Government, gave an address. More than 200 representatives attended the conference, including heads of member units of the Provincial Special Task Force for the Modern Petrochemical Industry, officials from the industrial and information technology departments of various cities and prefectures as well as chemical parks, representatives from relevant universities and research institutes, experts and scholars, enterprises across the upstream and downstream segments of the petrochemical industry chain, and representatives from financial institutions. As the technical support institution for the Provincial Special Task Force on the Modern Petrochemical Industry and a co-organizer of this conference, the Chemical Research Institute was represented by Lin Zhiyong, Party Secretary and General Manager, and Zeng Lingjun, Assistant to the General Manager.
This matchmaking conference is themed “Integrating and Strengthening Industrial Chains for Collaborative Win-Win Outcomes: Building a New Ecosystem for Hunan’s Modern Petrochemical Industry.” It aims to establish an efficient platform for connecting stakeholders, facilitating precise matching of supply and demand across the upstream and downstream segments of the modern petrochemical industry, fostering in-depth collaboration among industry, academia, and research institutions, and promoting effective coordination between industry and finance—thereby pooling collective efforts to extend, supplement, and strengthen the modern petrochemical value chain.
The modern petrochemical industry is a vital component of Hunan’s modern industrial system. In recent years, the sector has expanded steadily in scale, continuously improved in quality and efficiency, and grown increasingly competitive. The province now hosts 1,174 large-scale petrochemical enterprises, a 21.2% increase over 2020, including six enterprises with annual revenues exceeding RMB 10 billion, 17 with revenues above RMB 1 billion, and 12 listed on the A-share market. A total of 15 chemical parks have been officially recognized, with the Yueyang Green Chemical High-tech Industrial Zone and the Tongguan Chemical Industrial Area of the Wangcheng Economic Development Zone both ranking among the top 70 chemical parks nationwide. Furthermore, four national-level specialized industrial clusters for small and medium-sized enterprises have been cultivated, focusing on catalytic materials for refining and petrochemicals in Yueyang, new salt–brine chemical materials in Hengyang, bioenzymes in Jinshi, and high-end chemical APIs in Liuyang. Across the province, the petrochemical sector boasts 12 national-level innovation platforms, has nurtured 11 national single-champion enterprises, and 63 “little giant” firms specializing in niche, sophisticated, and innovative products. It has established core competitive advantages in such specialized segments as refining and petrochemical catalysts, lithium-based polymers, elastic components for rail transit, and energy-storage materials, thereby serving as a critical cornerstone for the development of Hunan’s strategic emerging industries, including construction machinery, rail transit, aerospace, new materials, and biopharmaceuticals.
At the conference, the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology released the province-wide “Policy Compilation” for the modern petrochemical industry, along with the “Product Supply List,” “Market Demand List,” and “Industrial Technology Needs List,” covering supply and demand information from more than 280 enterprises. A signing ceremony was held, during which suppliers and buyers, as well as industry–university–research collaboration partners and banking–enterprise cooperation partners, signed multi-dimensional cooperation agreements spanning product supply, technology transfer and commercialization, technological breakthroughs, and financing partnerships. In total, 112 supply–demand contracts were concluded at this matchmaking event, and 17 bank–enterprise financing collaborations were secured. The conference also arranged on-site visits for attendees from both inside and outside the province to the Yueyang Green Chemical High-tech Industrial Zone, where they toured key projects, pilot-scale test bases, and an integrated information platform, gaining a firsthand understanding of Hunan’s capacity to support the modern petrochemical industry, its level of industrial supporting infrastructure, and its dynamic development momentum.
The successful holding of this matchmaking event has provided an important platform for upstream and downstream enterprises across the province’s modern petrochemical industry chain to deepen their understanding, enhance mutual trust, and forge collaborative partnerships, thereby playing a proactive role in boosting the local sourcing rate and overall competitiveness of the modern petrochemical industry chain and in building a modern industrial system.
