Leading the construction of a modern industrial system with scientific and technological innovation has become the "key word" of economic work in 2024. * The Economic Work Conference emphasized that "it is necessary to promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, especially to promote new industries, new models and new kinetic energy with disruptive technologies and cutting-edge technologies, and to develop new quality productive forces". The meeting also proposed to vigorously promote new industrialization, develop the digital economy, and implement high-quality development actions for key industrial chains in the manufacturing industry.
Innovation is the fundamental driving force to promote the construction of a new industrialization and modern industrial system, and new industrialization requires accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and promoting the "intelligent transformation and digital transformation of the manufacturing industry". Experts believe that in the next step, it is necessary to seize the major opportunity of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and concentrate on the popularization of superior forces to promote the digital and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industryStrengthen the research of key core technologies, and promote the collaborative innovation of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, large and small enterprises.
The manufacturing industry is the backbone of the popularization of "intelligent transformation, digital transformation and networking".
Since the beginning of this year, while coping with the complex and changeable external environment and risks and challenges, China's industry has continued to recover steadily, and new achievements have been made in the development of new industrialization.
According to data recently released by the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to November, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 4% year-on-year3%γIn November, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 66%, especially worth mentioning, of which the added value of the equipment manufacturing industry increased by 9 year-on-year8%, and the added value of high-tech manufacturing increased by 62%γ
Experts believe that China has the demand advantage of a super-large-scale market and a complete industrial system, the scale of the manufacturing industry has ranked first in the world for 14 consecutive years, and major breakthroughs have been made in scientific and technological innovation in key areas.
Taking intelligent manufacturing as the main direction and accelerating the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry is an important task to promote new industrialization in the new era and new journey. "From now to 2035, it is a critical period for China's manufacturing industry to achieve from large to strong, and it is also a critical period for the development of manufacturing quality, efficiency and power. Zhou Ji, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the National Manufacturing Power Construction Strategy Advisory Committee, suggested that we should focus on the popularization of digital transformation and do a good job in tackling key problems, pilots and demonstrations of a new generation of intelligent manufacturing technology.
Li Hongwei, director of the New Industrialization Research Institute of China Electronic Information Industry Development Research Institute, also suggested that it is necessary to promote the high-end, intelligent and green transformation of the manufacturing industry, accelerate the large-scale application of the industrial Internet, accelerate the application and innovation of new manufacturing technologies such as additive manufacturing and integrated die-casting, and carry out all-round transformation of the manufacturing industry.
Zhao Wei, CEO of Zhichang Technology Group, believes that to achieve high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, it is urgent to accelerate the transition from the pilot demonstration stage of intelligent manufacturing of a single enterprise to the comprehensive popularization stage of digital transformation. "Small and medium-sized enterprises also have the motivation and potential to upgrade digitally and create new quality productivity. In the future, this kind of 'intelligent sinking' will bring about an overall improvement in production, R&D and operational efficiency, and promote China's transformation from a 'manufacturing power' to an 'intelligent manufacturing power'. β
On the 12th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a meeting of the party group to convey the spirit of the economic work conference. The meeting emphasized that it is necessary to focus on building a modern industrial system with advanced manufacturing as the backbone, and accelerate the "intelligent transformation and digital transformation of the manufacturing industry".
Whether the intelligent transformation of the industrial system can be realized is related to the success or failure of future international competition. Huang Qunhui, director of the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that to build a modern industrial system, we must continue to expand the depth of informatization and digitalization, and strive to seize the strategic commanding heights of the global industrial system.
Emphasize scientific and technological innovation and improve the integrity of the modern industrial system.
The reporter noted that the first economic work conference will "lead the construction of a modern industrial system with scientific and technological innovation" as the first of the nine key tasks next year. At the same time, the meeting emphasized the need to develop the digital economy and accelerate the development of artificial intelligence. We will build a number of strategic emerging industries such as biomanufacturing, commercial aerospace, and low-altitude economy, open up new tracks for future industries such as quantum and life sciences, widely apply digital intelligence technology and green technology, and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.
It is necessary to speed up the completion of the shortcomings of China's modern industrial system through scientific and technological innovation, and continuously improve its integrity. Sun Desheng, director of the Institute of Regional Economy and Urban Development of the Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, said that China's industrial system is complete, but it is not complete enough in some high-tech subdivided industries, and there are still shortcomings. To solve this problem, we must rely on, and can only rely on, scientific and technological innovation.
Li Hongwei believes that at present, a revolutionary breakthrough is taking place in the field of cutting-edge technology, which will profoundly change the economic production function. In view of the new industrial momentum with strong potential, advanced technology, broad market and strong driving force, it is necessary to implement innovation incentive policies and support and safeguard measures, and accelerate technology iteration, product replacement and market substitution.
To promote industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation, the first thing is to establish an innovation support ecosystem that covers all parties, including industry, academia and start-ups, and provide support such as innovation, incubators, and technology transfer platforms to promote cross-field cooperation and innovation. Luan Jing, general manager of the Metaverse Business Department of Beijing Taier Yingfu Technology, suggested that enterprises should be encouraged to carry out technological innovation and market expansion in key areas, inject more vitality into industrial development, and create opportunities for the emergence of innovative solutions.
Sun Xin, director of the Policy and Economic Research Institute of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, believes that the first economic work conference has pointed out the direction for promoting the all-round empowerment of artificial intelligence for new industrialization, and suggested that in the future, efforts should be made to promote the innovative application of artificial intelligence from both sides of supply and demand, and support the intelligent upgrading of the whole process of R&D and design, manufacturing, and operation services. At the same time, we will focus on strengthening support and promoting high-quality development such as pilot verification, standard development, intellectual property rights, and measurement and testing.
Wang Fan, director of the high-tech industrialization research office of the Institute of Science and Technology and Standards of the China Electronic Information Industry Development Research Institute, also believes that the innovation chain should be deployed around the industrial chain and the industrial chain should be laid out around the innovation chain: first, it is necessary to strengthen the main position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation, cultivate a number of science and technology leading enterprises with core competitiveness and ecological dominance, and promote the deep integration of industry, university, research and application led by enterprisesSecond, we should vigorously support basic research and applied basic research guided by national strategic needs and promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, and lay out and implement a number of major national science and technology projects with overall foresightThird, we must continue to optimize the system and mechanism for the circulation and allocation of resources such as capital, talents, and technology, accelerate the cultivation and development of new quality productivity factors such as data and computing power, establish and improve the pricing system and market operation system of innovative factors, and stimulate and drive the continuous emergence and growth of new industries, new formats, and new models.
