Abstract
Against the backdrop of global industrial digital transformation and coordinated regional economic development, Guangdong—As a major industrial hub in China—Faces resource constraints, barriers to factor mobility, and efficiency bottlenecks in its industrial coordination under traditional geographic agglomeration patterns. This study examines Guangdong Province, analyzing its current level of industrial synergy, its operational models (industrial chain synergy, industrial cluster synergy, regional synergy), and its outcomes (enhanced production efficiency, strengthened industrial competitiveness). It dissects the existing development challenges and constructs a theoretical analytical framework—“Virtual agglomeration—Factor flow network—industrial agglomeration—Industrial synergy”—To explore the impact mechanism of virtual agglomeration on industrial synergy. The study finds that virtual agglomeration promotes industrial synergy through three pathways: facilitating cross-regional flows of factors such as talent, capital, and technology; deepening industrial division of labor and cluster coordination; and strengthening innovation collaboration and knowledge spillovers. Factor mobility networks and industrial agglomeration serve as key intermediary links through which virtual agglomeration influences industrial synergy. This research provides theoretical references and practical insights for Guangdong and other regions nationwide to optimize industrial synergy models and enhance industrial competitiveness through digital technologies.
