In the first half of the year, the province's invention patent ownership per 10000 people reached 54.5, an increase of 4.1 from the end of last year.

Perseverance can carve gold and stone. A batch of "bottleneck" technologies have been effectively overcome: the Cui Tiejun team from Southeast University has successfully developed a programmable diffraction neural network artificial intelligence computer prototype for the microwave segment on-site for the first time; Nanda Optoelectronics ArF photoresist has broken foreign monopolies and two products have been verified by customers. By 2030, Jiangsu aims to achieve significant breakthroughs in cutting-edge and disruptive technologies in its industry.

On June 9th, Atlas Sunshine Power Group successfully landed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. After years of deep cultivation in the new energy industry, this company's photovoltaic module shipment volume ranks among the top in the world. Nowadays, among companies listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, the "Jiangsu Science and Technology Innovation Legion" accounts for nearly one-fifth.

Enhance the independent innovation capability of enterprises and win the new track of industrial development. Jiangsu enhances the agglomeration and rootedness of advanced manufacturing clusters, promoting advantageous industries to enter the high-end of the global industrial value chain. By 2025, the output value of strategic emerging industries and high-tech industries will account for 42% and 50% respectively.

Zhao Jianguo, Deputy Director of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Science and Technology, introduced that Jiangsu has selected and cultivated 160 innovative leading enterprises, with over 87000 national technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises, firmly ranking first in the country; We have vigorously promoted the deep integration of industry, academia, and research led by enterprises, and formed 10 innovative consortia including high computing power chips and new displays. At present, over 85% of research and development investment in Jiangsu is completed by enterprises, 80% of technology platforms and high-level innovation and entrepreneurship talents gather in enterprises, and 70% of effective invention patents are created by enterprises.

From the world's factory to the highland of science and technology innovation, we will better transform the advantages of innovative resources into a competitive advantage for innovative development. Nanjing focuses on six cutting-edge fields such as the metaverse, Changzhou strives to build a "new energy city", and Taizhou's health industry is flourishing... Jiangsu vigorously cultivates future industries such as third-generation semiconductors, life and health, and hydrogen energy storage, creating a leading area for future industries.

The main responsible comrades of Jiangsu Provincial Government said that Jiangsu will anchor the construction of an industrial science and technology innovation center with global influence.

High point expansion, serving the construction of a new development pattern across the country

A golden waterway, where hundreds of boats compete for flow. In April, the first dedicated lithium battery container yard in China was built in the Longtan Port Area of Nanjing Port, with a designed annual throughput of 34000 TEUs. As one of the largest ports in the Yangtze River, this area is building a safe, efficient, and economical transportation channel for new energy products. Goods are directly transported to major coastal ports as well as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, enhancing the level of a hub economy.

Accelerating the construction of a new development pattern is the strategic basis for promoting high-quality development. Faced with the accelerated evolution of the world industrial system, Jiangsu, which accounts for approximately 13.7% of the country's manufacturing value added and 4% of the world's total, adheres to the real economy and strives to play an important pivotal, supportive, and demonstrative role in building a new development pattern in China.

Driven by innovation, forging the soul, strengthening the backbone, and empowering the development of the digital economy. Jiangsu is building an advanced manufacturing base and accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system.

At the end of June, the second phase of the Huahong Wuxi Integrated Circuit R&D and Manufacturing Base, with a total investment of 6.7 billion US dollars, began construction, creating the most advanced and largest 12 inch characteristic process R&D and manufacturing base in China.

We will focus on cultivating industries such as integrated circuits, new generation information technology, and new materials. Jiangsu will promote the construction of 10 national advanced manufacturing clusters and 16 provincial key clusters with high standards, implement industrial foundation reconstruction projects and major technological equipment research projects, advance the three-year action plan for cultivating specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises, and firmly promote the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry.

Currently, among the 45 national advanced manufacturing clusters, Jiangsu ranks first in the country with 10 seats; There are a total of 132 lighthouse factories worldwide, 50 in China, and Jiangsu ranks first among 9 in the country.

The world economic environment is complex and ever-changing, and boosting domestic demand remains the key. Jiangsu focuses on restoring and expanding consumption, activating effective investment, and enhancing endogenous development momentum.

During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, various regions in Jiangsu province carried out a series of activities, including Nanjing's "Night of Jinling", Xuzhou's "Le Xiang Yunlong", and Taizhou's "Summer Night Hailing", which drove the province's consumer goods market to achieve a cumulative sales revenue of about 3.54 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.7% and 14.5% compared to 2019. Among them, automobile consumption has grown strongly. Changzhou has launched a new energy vehicle purchase subsidy of up to 8000 yuan per vehicle, with over 5300 people applying and passing the review. The subsidy has exceeded 23 million yuan, driving nearly 1.2 billion yuan in automobile consumption.

Carry out over 3200 consumption promotion activities, distribute over 410 million yuan of consumption assistance vouchers and digital RMB red envelopes; Introduce 23 implementation opinions in 7 categories to support private investment; Focus on the construction of 220 provincial major projects... In the first half of the year, fixed assets investment in Jiangsu is expected to grow by more than 5%, and the total retail sales of consumer goods will grow by about 11%.

To stabilize the overall situation, adapt to changes, and open up new opportunities, Jiangsu continues to deepen reform and expand opening up, deeply participates in global industrial division of labor and cooperation, connects with international high standard economic and trade rules, and focuses on enhancing the traction of institutional opening up.

In the first half of the year, Jiangsu launched a series of actions, including supporting enterprises to expand their markets overseas, stabilizing the supply chain of foreign-funded industries, and optimizing cross-border settlement services, such as "Entering the Headquarters of Multinational Companies", and formulating a three-year action plan for the implementation and upgrading of the Jiangsu Free Trade Zone. ".

According to the latest statistics, it is expected that Jiangsu's foreign trade import and export scale in the first half of the year will be the second largest in the country, with the "new three samples" represented by solar cells, lithium batteries, and new energy vehicles ranking first in the country, and the actual use of foreign investment ranking first in the country.

Not long ago, a China EU regular train carrying goods such as Little Swan water heater left from the Sino Kazakhstan logistics cooperation base and headed to Central Asia via Khorgos Port. This is the 1000th China Europe freight train opened in Jiangsu this year, which is 12 days and 72 days earlier than 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Coordinate the promotion of major regional strategies and fully integrate into the overall development of the country. Embrace the world with the construction of the "the Belt and Road" intersection, integrate regional synergy into the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, and promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt with the construction of Yangtze River city clusters...... Jiangsu plans to layout with a broad vision, and cooperatively promotes the construction of major platforms along the Shanghai Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt, the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor, the Nanjing Hangzhou Ecological Economic Belt, and the the Taihu Lake Lake Science and Technology Innovation Circle, to better serve the country to build a new development pattern.

The Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou is a bow string, with a coastline of 954 kilometers resembling a bow body. The Yangtze River and Huai River are like long arrows, and their powerful potential is increasingly bursting. Jiangsu, which has 13 cities under its jurisdiction and is listed among the top 100 cities in the country, adheres to staggered and characteristic development, breaks away from the thinking pattern and path dependence of plate division and gradient development, accelerates the construction of the "1+3" key functional areas with the Yangtze River City Cluster, coastal economic belt, Jianghuai Ecological Economic Zone, and Xuzhou Huaihai Economic Zone as the overall layout, and strives to achieve the beauty of high-quality development in Jiangsu.

Integrate the spirit of the Jianghuai River and reach the vastness of the Yellow Sea. Jiangsu is striving to build a two-way open hub with global aggregation power, striving for greater initiative and expanding greater space in serving the construction of a new development pattern throughout the country.

High standard construction, creating a land of fish and rice in the new era

Over the past 17 years, the annual application of chemical fertilizers has decreased from an average of 160 kilograms per mu to zero, and the per mu income has doubled. The organic rice planting base in Daizhuang Village, Jurong, Zhenjiang, has implemented a "one reduction and one increase" strategy, which contains the ecological agriculture code: introducing praying mantis egg blocks and frogs to replace pesticides for pest control; Transforming waste vinegar residue into nutrient soil for seedling cultivation; Ducks in rice paddies weed, remove insects, and loosen the soil... The animals in organic rice paddies are more than six times higher than those in surrounding rice paddies, and the sound of insects and frogs is incessant.

Agricultural power is the foundation of socialist modernization, and promoting agricultural modernization is an inevitable requirement for achieving high-quality development. Jiangsu is not only a major economic and industrial province, but also an agricultural and grain province. It firmly holds the rice bowl in its own hands and accelerates the construction of a new era of strong agriculture, beautiful rural areas, and rich farmers. In the first half of the year, the total output value of the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery industry in the province is expected to reach 323 billion yuan, an increase of about 3%.

The harvester here gallops in the wheat waves, quickly operating according to the navigation plan route; The unmanned steering wheel of the other field transplanting machine skillfully rotates, sowing new green patches; The aerial drone circled back and forth for precise fertilization... In the summer season, at the smart farm in Yancheng Dongtai, an "unmanned" demonstration was eye opening.

Grain is stored in the land and technology. The sowing area of grain in Jiangsu has remained stable at over 81 million mu, with a total of 51 million mu of high standard farmland built, accounting for about 70% of the total cultivated land area in the province. The total grain production has remained stable at over 70 billion kilograms for nine consecutive years, and this year, the total summer grain production is expected to be 28.2 billion kilograms, achieving a double increase in area and total production.

As soon as the peach blossoms bloom, the order will come. During the summer harvest season, in Yangshan Town, Wuxi City, the "hometown of peaches", the sweet aroma of peaches can be smelled in the air. The pale yellow skin can be broken by blowing and bouncing; Insert a straw and you can drink peach juice. Old Peach Farmer Yu Shifa said that in his early years, a pound of peaches cost only a few cents, and he had to choose to sell them in other places; Now create a brand and industry, and sell it individually without worrying about sales.

Industrial revitalization is of utmost importance in rural revitalization. Jiangsu is promoting the development of advantageous characteristic industrial clusters, researching and formulating a three-year action plan for the construction of the entire agricultural industry chain, with a focus on cultivating four industrial chains with an output value of over 100 billion yuan: high-quality rice, green vegetables, leisure agriculture, and modern seed industry.

The industry is becoming increasingly prosperous, showcasing the "Four Seasons Scenery". Combining Chinese spring tea with Western coffee, the new tea drink "Bi Luo Zhi Chun" sells 4.47 million cups per week; Xuyi lobster has become the first choice for summer night snacks, with "one shrimp" driving employment for over 200000 people; Qiugao Crab Fertilizer, Jiangsu brand crabs such as Yangcheng Lake and Gucheng Lake, crawl along the network to the south, sea, and north, accounting for about half of the country's production; After experiencing winter frost, the sweet and delicious Rugao black collapse vegetable overcame the problem of preservation and followed the "Snow Dragon" to the North and South Poles. Jiangsu has done a good job in promoting local specialties, with 199 county-level advantageous characteristic industries worth over 1 billion yuan.

Industry strengthens the muscles and bones, and rural areas are rejuvenated. In Shoucheng Village, Jiulongkou Town, Yancheng, northern Jiangsu, rows of small buildings with pink walls and black tiles are arranged in a neat and orderly manner, transforming the old appearance of "empty walls and old tiled houses".

Optimizing the layout of towns and villages, improving the living environment, Jiangsu has coordinated the implementation of 663000 rural toilet renovation projects and 1066 whole village promotion projects. More than 3400 administrative villages have formulated village plans, accelerating the construction of livable, business friendly, and beautiful rural areas. By 2025, the domestic sewage treatment rate will reach over 55%, and 1000 characteristic rural areas will be built.

Countryside, gardens, orchards, and vegetable gardens are arranged in rows, and among the sparse shadows of the fences, purple red bayberries and white peach blossoms can be seen; The neatly arranged buildings are exquisitely decorated, with complete supporting facilities such as gas pipelines... Due to their proximity to the industrial zone, the Guicheng area of Xiaoyi Village in Changshu used to suffer from serious rental housing and unauthorized construction. After the overall planning and improvement of the village, the appearance of the village has been revitalized, and young people in the urban area have returned to work and live in the village, truly becoming the "city of return".

The key to rural revitalization lies in people. This year, Jiangsu took the lead in carrying out entrepreneurship and innovation training for college students majoring in agriculture and agricultural vocational skills assessment, cultivating 150000 high-quality farmers; Implementing the "Head Wild Goose" project for rural industrial revitalization leaders, promoting more than 400 leaders to focus on industrial entrepreneurship... "New farmers" continue to grow and gradually become "prosperous farmers".

In the Yuting Agricultural Park in Wangting Town, Suzhou City, when it comes to Li Quan, the working parents are very familiar with him. "The young man is a graduate student and also comes to farm.". In the 10 years since graduating with a master's degree from Nanjing Agricultural University, Li Quan has been injecting technological genes into traditional agriculture, ranging from the insecticidal effects of castor beans and fragrant root grass to the improvement of soil fertility through rotary cultivation of rapeseed flowers.

When studying at school, Li Quan hoped to walk in the fields and feel the fragrance of rice every day. Nowadays, he wears a suit and leather shoes to control a drone, becoming a different "rice field guardian" from his father's generation.

Efficient governance, improving people's livelihoods and development enthusiasm

92 year old Mao Guilin refuses to go to a nursing home and enjoys playing long cards with his old friends. He can enjoy personalized and customized professional services at home, including door-to-door blood pressure measurement, room cleaning, hair washing, and haircut. Nantong, where almost one in every three people is an elderly person, is building a "chain style elderly care" system, extending professional services to communities, creating "nursing homes without walls", and forming a home and community elderly care policy guarantee system that covers 98% of the city's elderly population.

The transformation from "elderly care" to "enjoying the elderly" reflects the coordinated promotion of grassroots governance and livelihood security in Jiangsu, continuously promoting common prosperity and creating a high-quality life.

The small bridge, flowing water, and flowers, plants, and trees complement each other, and the kindergarten, hospital, and village council are all in place... Walking into Yonglian Village in Zhangjiagang City, the new Jiangnan Water Town stands out in front of you. "The living conditions in the community are convenient, and there is insurance for serious illnesses. The secondary distribution of monthly collective economic benefits has recently risen to over 2000 yuan, making life more prosperous." said Wang Qingfeng, a villager in his eighties.

The happiness and health of the people are the ultimate goal of promoting high-quality development. Transforming from survival oriented and security oriented to improvement oriented and quality oriented, people's lives are more convenient and secure. Jiangsu insists on investing over 75% of its general public budget expenditure in the field of people's livelihood, effectively enhancing the balance and accessibility of urban and rural public services, and enabling farmers to live modern urban life in sync with the times.

58 ordinary high schools have been newly built, renovated, and expanded, with a coverage rate of over 90% for inclusive kindergartens and nearly 40% of nursing homes in the country. The "15 minute medical insurance service circle" has achieved full coverage in townships... Jiangsu continues to strengthen the supply of high-quality resources and improve the quality and efficiency of public services.

Pursuing the "high line of people's livelihood" and building a "warm bottom line". During the 14th Five Year Plan period, Jiangsu will improve the proactive discovery mechanism for disadvantaged groups, promote the transformation of "people seeking policies" into "policies seeking people", achieve early detection, early intervention, and early assistance, and consolidate the foundation of common prosperity with higher levels of people's well-being.

Seize the "micro incision" and guard the "small and lucky". "I hope to increase public activity space and add parking spaces." "There is less greenery in the community, can we use the corners to add some micro landscapes?" "There are many elderly people in the community, and it is recommended to carry out aging friendly renovation." Recently, a consultation meeting on the renovation of old residential areas was held in the West Community of Huai'an City. CPPCC members, street officials, and resident representatives gathered together to discuss the renovation plan.

Grid based support for people's livelihoods, information technology empowerment, and refined and efficient services. Jiangsu effectively promotes in-service party members to provide community registration services, sinking more resources to the front line, and resolving conflicts and disputes at the grassroots level.

In Huai'an, village cadres, grid workers, mediators, and volunteers work together to achieve the goal of "not leaving the village for small matters, not leaving the town for major matters, and not leaving the county for difficult matters"; In Suqian, the people sit and talk, cadres stand and listen, and time and time again, "square night talks" have become a direct line of communication among the people; In Yangzhou, institutionalized cadre visits and visits are carried out to address the urgent needs and anxieties of the people on a regular basis... Jiangsu has strengthened grassroots governance through innovative party building, and the vitality of 21000 urban and rural communities is increasing day by day. 95% of disputes are resolved at the grassroots level.

A good ecological environment is the most equitable public good and the most inclusive welfare for people's livelihoods.

The Taihu Lake Lake in summer is a vast expanse of mist, with birds flying and fish jumping. "Unexpectedly, the dirty and messy fish market dock transformed into a wetland park, and I came almost whenever I had free time," said resident Wei at Xiaoxigang Yuzui Park in Wuxi.

Since 2007, the permanent population has increased by 6.75 million, the GDP has increased by three times, and the aquatic ecology of the the Taihu Lake Lake basin in Jiangsu Province has significantly improved: the number of aquatic organisms in the lake area has increased to 342, the number of whitefish population, one of the "three white lakes in the Taihu Lake Lake", has returned to the dominant level, and a large number of ecologically sensitive species, such as peach blossom jellyfish, egrets, lichens, have returned after years of disappearance.

On June 14th, the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee conducted a case study of the "Great Changes" in the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River. They visited the Muyan Binjiang Scenic Area in Nanjing, the Xinjizhou Wetland Park, and other places to conduct on-site inspections, exchange ideas, and systematically review and summarize the effectiveness and experience of the Yangtze River protection and governance. After continuous improvement, the water quality of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River has reached Class II, and the proportion of ecological shoreline has increased to 64.1%. The iconic species of finless porpoise has recovered to over a hundred.

But considering the path that came, the vast expanse of green and verdant.

How have we done in response to General Secretary's general requirements for the whole country, and have we been at the forefront? General Secretary first proposed to Jiangsu, how have we been doing in practice? Has it played a role in exploring the path for national development

The main responsible comrades of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee said that Jiangsu fully, accurately and comprehensively implemented the new development concept, comprehensively implemented the major task of "Four Leads Ahead", took the courage to take the lead, set an example, and walk ahead. It is not necessary for me to promote success, and success must have my spirit of hard work. It is necessary to promote high-quality development, walk steadily, walk realistically and take the lead, and take the broad road of Chinese path to modernization.
