Accelerating the cultivation and growth of emerging industries and stimulating stronger development momentum is not only necessary for optimizing economic structure, but also a necessary measure to stabilize economic operation
5G applications have been integrated into 60 major categories of the national economy, accelerating their expansion and deepening into key areas such as industry, healthcare, education, and transportation, with a cumulative number of application cases exceeding 50000; The annual production of industrial robots has reached 443000 sets, with an installed capacity exceeding 50% of the global total, ranking first in the world for nine consecutive years; The scale of the core industry of artificial intelligence has reached 500 billion yuan, and more than 2500 digital workshops and intelligent factories have been built... Several sets of data confirm the booming development trend of China's emerging industries.
In recent years, emerging industries represented by new generation information technology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, etc. have developed rapidly in China. While their own market size continues to grow, they have also helped traditional industries accelerate towards high-end, intelligent, and green development. In 2022, the added value of strategic emerging industries in China accounted for over 13% of the gross domestic product, and a group of strategic emerging industry clusters with national influence emerged in competition.
Currently, China is at a critical juncture in the transformation of old and new kinetic energy. Accelerating the cultivation and growth of emerging industries and stimulating stronger development momentum is not only necessary for optimizing economic structure, but also a necessary measure to stabilize economic operation.
Accelerating the cultivation and growth of emerging industries requires placing technological innovation in a more prominent position. Most emerging industries are knowledge and technology intensive, and technological innovation capabilities directly affect the development and survival of industries. Only by anchoring independent innovation and achieving long-term success can we bloom and bear fruit, develop and grow. This requires continuously increasing support for key technological breakthroughs and continuously promoting breakthroughs in key core technologies. At present, there are 45 national level advanced manufacturing clusters, covering multiple emerging industries such as new generation information technology, high-end equipment, and new materials. Relying on industrial clusters and continuously optimizing the allocation of innovative elements, emerging industries will continuously ignite new development engines.
Accelerate the cultivation and growth of emerging industries, and continuously optimize the industrial development environment. Since the beginning of this year, many places have launched development plans for emerging industries, actively cultivating new industries, new formats, and new models, such as building a big data industry cluster for the world, creating a trillion yuan club for energy conservation and environmental protection industries, and creating an innovation highland for the integrated circuit industry. Continuously leveraging the initiative of various regions and departments, and introducing more effective measures in areas such as finance, taxation, intellectual property, and talent cultivation, will provide more confidence for the development of emerging industries.
Accelerate the cultivation and growth of emerging industries, and avoid homogeneous and disorderly competition, as well as low-level redundant construction. Compared to traditional industries, emerging industries require support from various factors such as technology, talent, and capital. Each region should scientifically plan its layout and achieve staggered development based on its current regional conditions and potential advantages, so that emerging industries can operate smoothly on the fast lane.
We see that more and more new technologies are entering the stage of large-scale industrialization and commercial application, and the development of emerging industries is full of momentum. Taking advantage of the trend and seizing the opportunity, the momentum of emerging industries will be more abundant and the space will be wider.
