To accelerate the development of new productive forces, we must adhere to the guidance of scientific and technological innovation, achieve strong talent and technology, and promote industrial and economic development. We must accelerate the realization of high-level technological self-reliance, support and lead high-quality development, and open up broad space for the comprehensive construction of a socialist modernized country.
Led by technological innovation: adding technological connotations to productivity

Technological innovation is like a lever that leverages new things, always unleashing unexpected and powerful forces.
Throughout the history of human development, technological innovation has always been an inexhaustible driving force for the development of a country or a nation, and a key factor in enhancing social productivity. New quality productivity is the productivity in which technological innovation plays a leading role. It is characterized by the application of high-tech, supported by new industries and formats, and is creating a new era of social production.
Embarking on a new journey, accelerating the construction of a new development pattern, and promoting high-quality development, there is an urgent need for technological innovation to do a good job as a driving engine, be a good pioneer, accelerate the formation of more new quality productive forces, and inject strong impetus into the construction of a modern industrial system.
Striving for innovation is striving for development, and striving for innovation is striving for the future. Accelerating the formation of new productive forces requires enhancing innovation as the primary driving force.
"The proposal of new quality productivity further adds to the technological connotation of productivity, and also makes the indication of innovation as the primary driving force more specific." Guo Rong, Vice President of the China Academy of Science and Technology Development Strategy Research, believes that new quality productivity is different from traditional productivity, involving new fields and high technological content. Relying on innovation driven is the key, representing a leap in productivity.
In recent years, China's basic research funding has increased from 49.9 billion yuan in 2012 to 2023.5 billion yuan in 2022, providing strong support for major achievements in fields such as iron-based superconductivity, quantum information, stem cells, and synthetic biology.
Yu Youcheng, Deputy Secretary General of the Chinese Association of Artificial Intelligence, stated that the proposal of new quality productivity means that the Party Central Committee will have greater determination to promote the comprehensive revitalization of industries led by scientific and technological innovation, build new competitive advantages through industrial upgrading, and win the initiative in development.
Using the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements as a Grasp: Let More Technological Innovations Burst into Flow
If "from 0 to 1" represents the original breakthrough of technological innovation, then the transformation of achievements into the market is a path evolution from 1 to infinity. Improving the level of transformation of scientific and technological achievements is the key to connecting scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation, and also the key to transforming them into new quality productive forces.
The integration of "science and technology innovation+industry" is accelerating, and strategic emerging industry clusters are constantly moving towards high-end, intelligent, and green development, focusing on promoting the leap of China's industries
This is the acceleration of the transformation of technological achievements from "bookshelves" to "shelves"——
In just one year, Xi'an Lixin Huigan Technology Co., Ltd.'s rough room of over 1200 square meters has become a clean workshop. This enterprise, originating from Northwestern Polytechnical University, mainly engages in sensor research and development and manufacturing. With the assistance and support of the Qin Chuangyuan platform, it completed the approval, site selection, patent evaluation and other processes within a month, greatly reducing the difficulty of establishing a start-up enterprise.
As a technology innovation incubator, Shaanxi Qinchuangyuan Platform, after more than two years of construction, is accelerating the release of scientific and technological innovation potential. Its "industrial innovation+enterprise innovation" platform system has built one national level manufacturing innovation center and 19 provincial-level manufacturing innovation centers, paving a new path for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
This is a proactive plan to "let go" of the current development and "look ahead" to build momentum for the future——
In Hefei, Anhui, at the production base of Volkswagen Co., Ltd. in the Economic and Technological Development Zone, hundreds of robots operate in an orderly manner, and the huge factory workshop only requires no more than a hundred workers. The first vehicle model will be mass-produced by the end of this year.
In recent years, Anhui has tirelessly promoted the construction of a modern industrial system, accelerated the cultivation of strategic emerging industries, and this year has elevated the automotive industry to the "top industry". In the first half of this year, Anhui's production of new energy vehicles reached 342000 units, a year-on-year increase of 87.8%.
"The quality of the industrial system lays the foundation for the quality of economic development." Lv Changfu, Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Hefei High tech Zone, said that strategic and future industries are "forging tomorrow's industries with tomorrow's technology". New technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence have undergone profound evolution. Only by empowering the modern industrial system with hard technology can we accumulate strength for future development.
This is "lane changing overtaking" in more cutting-edge fields——
At the just concluded 2023 China International Trade in Services Fair, a demonstration of a surgical robot called "Shurui" peeling eggshells attracted everyone to stop and watch. After peeling, the egg film, as thin as cicada wings, is intact and undamaged. This surgical robot is developed by Beijing Shurui Robotics Co., Ltd. It has nearly 600 intellectual property rights and applications worldwide, and multiple technologies have reached international advanced levels.
At present, China faces both opportunities and challenges in its development. To achieve success in both development and security, we must seek methods and answers from technological innovation, and provide strong support for self-reliance and self-improvement through high-level technology. We need to strengthen basic research and original innovation, and accelerate lane changing and overtaking in cutting-edge fields through an "asymmetric" strategy. We must closely focus on the key links, areas, and products of the industrial chain and supply chain, layout an innovation chain that emphasizes both "filling gaps" and "forging strengths", and comprehensively improve the overall efficiency of the innovation chain.
Supported by cultivating new industries: accelerating the formation of new quality productivity
Whether it is currently boosting confidence, promoting economic recovery, or winning strategic initiative in future development and international competition, it is necessary to accelerate the realization of high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, take technological system reform as a breakthrough, strengthen the main position of enterprise technological innovation, open up new tracks, enhance new momentum, shape new advantages, and accelerate the formation of new quality productivity.
——Open up new tracks. Jiangsu focuses on laying out cutting-edge directions such as revolutionary new materials and neuromorphic intelligence; Implementing 59 key core technology breakthroughs around the shortcomings of industrial mother machines, biopharmaceuticals and other industrial chains; Improve the "unveiling and commanding" mechanism, release 28 major task lists, and attract 63 high-level teams to participate in research and development.
——Enhance new momentum. In the first half of the year, the world's first 100000 ton 1500 meter ultra deep water semi submersible production and storage platform, Deep Sea No.1, had remote control production capabilities; The first deep-sea floating wind power platform in China, "Haiyou Guanlan", has been officially put into operation in the Wenchang sea area of Hainan; Our country's self-developed underwater seismic exploration and acquisition equipment "Haimai" has achieved industrial manufacturing
——Shaping new advantages. In the "China Optics Valley" of Donghu High tech Zone in Wuhan, Hubei, multiple leading enterprises in the optoelectronic information industry are growing together, and a series of innovative achievements have emerged one after another... Currently, the scale of the optoelectronic information industry in the zone has exceeded 500 billion yuan, and the five advantageous industries of optoelectronic information, new energy and intelligent connected vehicles, life and health, high-end equipment, and Beidou industry are driving Hubei's manufacturing industry to a new level.
Throughout recent years, the new engines of global economic growth have all been the new industries brought about by new technologies, which in turn have formed new quality productive forces.
