临近年底，又到了一年一度要交答卷的时候。很多产业园区都感到压力山大，因为招租太难了。 最近，跟一国企产业园区的老总闲聊，他就直言：焦虑得晚上经常失眠。小明问：你们不是推出了零租 金的产业空间吗，怎么还不好租？他听了更是连连摆手：零租金的事，已经踩刹车了。 聊完，小明又特地深入调研了解了一番，还真如这位老总所说：零租金产业园，因为问题太多开始踩刹 车了。产业园区想要做好招商引资，提高出租率，还是要回归产业空间运营的本质，不能指望一招制 胜。 零租金产业园区 零租金产业园区也有类似的问题，其入驻企业的公示、资质审核等环节，都比较容易出现寻租空间。有 些企业为了入驻这些产业园区，向所谓的中介支付「服务费」，让后者为其提供包装。还有企业先套出 零租金产业空间，再低价转租牟利…… 推出时间不长，但问题不少 零租金产业园区的本意是好的，那就是城市用空间资源购买「产业期权」。这跟过去返税和低价甚至零 地价招商引资，有异曲同工之妙。可是，跟前者一样，实践下来产生的问题很多。 首先是各地盲目跟风，不管有没有条件都一拥而上，使零租金产业空间慢慢偏离了政策初心。 去年8月1日，《公平竞争审查条例》正式施行，返税式招商行不通了，亟需 ...

Core Viewpoint - The emergence of "zero rent" policies in major Chinese cities is a strategic move to attract innovative startups and enhance urban economic development, reflecting a shift in local government perspectives on urban space utilization and operational logic [1][5]. Group 1: Zero Rent Initiatives - Shenzhen initiated a "zero rent" policy allowing qualifying small and micro tech enterprises to occupy 100,000 square meters of state-owned industrial park space with up to two years of rent-free occupancy [2]. - Hangzhou's Qiantang Smart City offers three years of rent-free access to a 20,000 square meter robotics industrial park, with individual companies potentially saving 164,000 yuan annually [3]. - Suzhou's High-speed Rail New City launched a similar initiative, providing two years of rent-free support for various entrepreneurial teams, also allocating 100,000 square meters of space [3]. Group 2: Competitive Landscape - Major cities like Guangzhou and Shanghai have joined the "zero rent" competition, with Guangzhou announcing 150,000 square meters of pilot industrial space for rent-free agreements starting mid-August [3]. - Shanghai's Lingang New Area introduced a comprehensive package for young entrepreneurs, offering both office and residential spaces rent-free, aiming to create the most affordable entrepreneurial hub in Shanghai [4]. Group 3: Underlying Motivations - The rise of "zero rent" policies is partly driven by increasing vacancy rates in commercial properties, but more significantly reflects fierce competition among core cities for high-quality industries and innovative projects [5]. - Local governments are transitioning from merely collecting rent to actively participating in urban industrial upgrades, seeking to provide comprehensive solutions and build an ecosystem for startups [6]. Group 4: Conditions and Support - Cities are implementing specific conditions for "zero rent" eligibility, focusing on strategic emerging industries such as intelligent connected vehicles, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence [6][7]. - Additional support measures include financing options, with Suzhou offering up to 3 million yuan and Shanghai providing various financial incentives for qualifying enterprises [7][8]. Group 5: Future Implications - The "zero rent" model may not be purely altruistic; it could involve future agreements related to tax requirements or equity stakes, indicating a form of risk investment by local governments [7][8]. - Guangzhou is exploring new supply models like "rent + equity" to support the growth of innovative projects, aiming to foster a new urban industrial ecosystem [8].
