To lead the construction of a modern industrial system with scientific and technological innovation, it is necessary to focus on the central task of economic construction and the primary task of high-quality development, promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and the real economy, accelerate the development of new quality productivity, and promote the intelligent, green and integrated industry.
The ** Economic Work Conference held at the end of last year systematically deployed the economic work in 2024 and put forward nine key tasks around promoting high-quality development, among which "leading the construction of a modern industrial system with scientific and technological innovation" ranked first. This is a strategic choice to grasp the opportunity of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and it is also an inevitable move to promote China's future development and win the strategic initiative in international competition. We should focus on the central task of economic construction and the primary task of high-quality development, promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation with the real economy, accelerate the development of new quality productive forces, promote industrial intelligence, greening and integration, lay a solid foundation for accelerating the construction of a new development pattern, and continuously enhance the security initiative of development.
With the support of scientific and technological innovation, we will accelerate the formation and development of new quality productive forces
The development of productive forces is the fundamental driving force for the progress of human society and the fundamental force for achieving long-term stable macroeconomic development. **The general secretary pointed out: "Scientific and technological innovation can give birth to new industries, new models and new kinetic energy, which is the core element of the development of new quality productivity. * The Economic Work Conference proposed: "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 develop new quality productive forces." This is the innovation and development of the Marxist theory of productive forces, and provides a fundamental basis for us to build a modern industrial system in practice. The key to the formation and development of new quality productive forces lies in taking scientific and technological innovation as the core driving force, and taking the leap of laborers, labor materials, labor objects and their optimal combinations to give birth to new industries, new formats and new models, and constantly shape new development momentum and new advantages.
Adhere to science and technology as the primary productive force, and do a good job in the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements. Self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology is the foundation of a strong and prosperous country and the key to security, and it is also the proper meaning of the formation and development of new quality productive forces. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Comrade China has insisted on taking scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement as the strategic support for national development, continuously strengthened basic research and original innovation, achieved breakthroughs in some key core technologies, and made China among the ranks of innovative countries. However, it should also be noted that there is still a gap between China and developed countries in terms of industrial "four basics", that is, key basic materials, core basic components (components), advanced basic technology, and industrial technology foundation. Based on the current situation, we should attach importance to the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements, make up for the technical shortcomings of the "four basics" of industry, build a solid technical longboard in the fields of infrastructure construction, mobile payment, and digital economy, attach importance to the development of general technology represented by artificial intelligence, and provide feasible solutions for creating a good innovation ecology and realizing the independence and controllability of key core technologies. At the same time, it is necessary to focus on the long-term, attach importance to the research and exploration of applied technology, strengthen the forward-looking, strategic and systematic layout of applied basic research and cutting-edge research, grasp the general trend of world scientific and technological development, and make a good layout of the future industrial forward-looking research and development "first move".
Adhere to talent is the first resource, and create a new type of workforce. In today's world, the competition in comprehensive national strength is, in the final analysis, a competition for qualified personnel and the quality of laborers. To form and develop new quality of productive forces, it is necessary to build a new type of labor force, including strategic talents who can create new quality productivity and application-oriented talents who can master new quality means of production. According to the new trend of scientific and technological development, it is necessary to optimize the discipline setting and talent training mode of colleges and universities, and cultivate urgently needed talents for the development of new quality productivity and the promotion of high-quality development. Improve the talent evaluation and incentive system, and create a good environment conducive to the growth and development of new workers. Accelerate the construction of a knowledge-based, skilled, and innovative labor force, and provide strong support for the formation and development of new industries, new formats, and new models.
Insist that innovation is the first driving force and stimulate the development potential of industrial transformation and upgrading. Innovation occupies a core position in the overall situation of China's modernization. Only by promoting comprehensive innovation with scientific and technological innovation as the core can we better grasp the time and trend of development and achieve "promoting stability through progress" in the formation and development of new quality productive forces. It is necessary to adhere to the industrialization of scientific and technological innovation achievements, support the cultivation of key industrial sectors that will help China reshape new advantages in international cooperation and competition, and enhance its position in the global industrial chain, build a number of strategic emerging industry growth engines with their own characteristics, complementary advantages and reasonable structure, and create a number of strategic emerging industries such as biomanufacturing, commercial aerospace, and low-altitude economy. Advance the layout of future industries such as quantum and life sciences, and open up new fields and new tracks to support the medium and long-term growth of the economy. At the same time, relying on the advantages of China's strong production capacity, we will promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and cluster development, and create effective demand with high-quality supply.
Promote industrial intelligence, greening and integration with new quality productivity
The new quality productivity is the quality of advanced productivity that is spawned by technological revolutionary breakthroughs, innovative allocation of production factors, and in-depth industrial transformation and upgrading, and is the key force to promote the construction of a modern industrial system. In the new era, China has successively introduced a series of development plans to promote the development of new industrialization, cultivate and expand strategic emerging industries, and promote breakthroughs in some key core technologies. In the face of the new situation and tasks, we must adhere to the main direction of intelligent manufacturing, the construction of a manufacturing power, accelerate the promotion of industrial intelligence, green, integration, the construction of a modern industrial system with integrity, advanced and safe, and constantly consolidate the industrial foundation of the new development pattern, to provide strong support for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.

This is an inevitable requirement to grasp the wave of new scientific and technological revolution such as artificial intelligence and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system supported by the real economy. Digital intelligence technology includes not only digital technology with data elements as the core, but also a series of intelligent technologies related to the development of the real economy. It is necessary to further promote the organic combination of various factors of production with digital technology, continuously improve the total factor productivity and potential economic growth rate with intelligent technology, and play a greater role in stimulating the vitality of various factors of production, reducing costs and increasing efficiency of enterprises, integrating industrial chain resources, and optimizing and upgrading the industrial structure, and strive to solve the problem of mismatch between supply and demand structure in the process of promoting high-quality development in China, and promote economic development to achieve quality, efficiency and power change.
Promote the deep integration of green technology and industrialization, and form a green development model of the industrial system. Green development is the background color of high-quality development. **The general secretary emphasized: "Accelerate the innovation of green technology and the promotion and application of advanced green technology, strengthen the green manufacturing industry, develop the green service industry, expand the green energy industry, develop green and low-carbon industries and chains, and build a green and low-carbon circular economy system." "It is necessary to actively and steadily promote the green and low-carbon development of industry, thoroughly implement the implementation plan for carbon peaking in the industrial field, promote green energy and intensive utilization of resources, improve the regulation and control of total energy consumption and intensity, and gradually shift to the dual control system of total carbon emission and intensity, actively cultivate new momentum for green growth, and achieve greater economic and social development benefits with smaller production costs.
Promote the deep integration of industries and realize the development pattern of industrial system integration. Integration is an inevitable requirement for improving the overall efficiency of the industrial system. Promoting a high degree of synergy and coupling between the three industries, between large and small enterprises, and between upstream, midstream and downstream enterprises is conducive to promoting the realization of a high-level dynamic balance between supply and demand for industrial development, a leap to the high-end of the industrial chain, and a smooth industrial economic cycle, forming a good industrial ecology, and better releasing the comprehensive benefits of the industrial network. It is necessary to vigorously promote the integration and integration of strategic emerging industries, realize the integration and agglomeration of innovative resources, the development and growth of technical forces in the deep integration, and form an industrial development pattern of division of labor and coordination and cooperation. Actively promote the deep integration of modern service industry and advanced manufacturing industry, and continuously strengthen the important role of producer service industry in the development and expansion of the real economy with full life cycle management, first-class chain management, and systematic management process reengineering, and promote the development of China's manufacturing industry to the high-end extension of the value chain.
It provides a strong guarantee for the construction of a modern industrial system
