Why propose "new quality productivity"? What signal is released?
The focus of new productive forces is to drive development through innovation, actively cultivating strategic emerging and future industries, and ultimately adding new momentum to economic development. The proposal of new quality productivity also sends a clear signal, further pointing out the direction for us to promote industrial innovation through technological innovation and build competitive advantages through industrial upgrading.
Innovation driven is the key engine of new quality productivity
Different from traditional productive forces, new quality productive forces involve new fields and high technological content. They are new forms and new qualities derived from the continuous breakthroughs and innovations in technology and industrial upgrading and development of traditional productive forces under the conditions of informatization and intelligent production. They represent a leap in China's productive forces in the new era.
The essence of new quality productivity is innovation driven productivity. The key lies in a positive interaction between innovation and industry, including platform economy built through the Internet and digital technology, high-tech transformation of traditional industries, and digital and intelligent production governance. Fundamentally, innovation has driven a qualitative change in traditional productivity, which in turn has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of industries and created new forms of business. This means that new productive forces play a more important role in economic activities. While encouraging platform economy and leading new directions in economic development, it is necessary to bid farewell to traditional technological systems, break away from traditional growth paths, and meet the requirements of high-quality development, so as to become more integrated and reflect new connotations of productive forces in the digital era.
This development model that integrates innovative factors such as digitalization and high-tech into traditional means of production, through algorithms, computing power, platforms, and other means of production to form new quality productivity, not only helps to improve the competitiveness of industries and promote sustainable economic development, but also promotes industrial innovation, accelerates the formation of emerging industries, and affects the development of future industries.
Emerging and future industries are the core pillars of new quality productivity
Strategic emerging industries and future industries are gradually becoming the core pillars of productivity driven by innovation. From artificial intelligence, industrial Internet to big data, all the new industrial engines of global economic growth in recent years are new industries brought about by new technologies and new productivity. To promote high-quality economic development and build new competitiveness and sustained momentum, it is necessary to actively cultivate strategic emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, 5G communication, advanced manufacturing, and electronic information, and advance the layout of future industries such as blockchain, Internet of Things, quantum technology, and cellular medicine, so as to connect and organically combine emerging industries with future industries.
Since the new era, China has attached great importance to the cultivation of strategic emerging industries, bravely opened up new fields and tracks, accelerated the construction of pillar industries, and achieved a series of new breakthroughs in the field of strategic emerging industries, releasing strong production momentum. This year, China's strategic emerging industries have flourished, achieving significant breakthroughs and achievements in the field of 5G communication technology. China has become the world's largest 5G market, promoting the commercialization of 5G and leading the way in related technology research and development, equipment manufacturing, and application innovation. Innovation breakthroughs in key areas such as lithium batteries, photovoltaics, and new energy vehicles are also accelerating, becoming an important support for high-quality economic development. According to research, the added value of strategic emerging industries in China has accounted for over 13% of the country's gross domestic product, showing a strong development momentum.
Economic development has never relied on a single industry to dominate the world, but rather on a hundred boats competing for excellence and a thousand sails competing for development. The leading and pillar industries are continuously iteratively optimizing. From this, it can be seen that the core of forming new quality productive forces lies in adhering to demand driven, and forming a number of strong demonstration and wide driving major application scenarios in urban development, financial technology, biopharmaceuticals, industrial manufacturing, scientific research and other fields, bringing tangible value to the social economy.
High quality development is the strategic beacon of new productive forces
If the "new normal of the economy" constitutes the basic context of China's economic development, and "high-quality development" proposes the grand logic of shaping China's future, then "new productive forces" release new impetus to drive high-quality development. The historic strategic opportunity cannot be missed. Forming and developing new quality productive forces, realizing the transition from traditional productive forces to new quality productive forces, is the first move to seize the development high ground, cultivate new competitive advantages, and accumulate new development momentum.
Compared with high-speed growth, the factors, combination methods, allocation mechanisms, and development models of high-quality development have undergone fundamental changes. This requires vigorously promoting changes in power, efficiency, and quality, improving total factor productivity, and achieving innovation driven development. And these have created conditions for the formation and development of new quality productive forces.
The formation and development of new quality productivity rely on scientific and technological innovation, and innovation driven development is the premise and guarantee for China to achieve high-quality development. High quality development characterized by innovation driven development is the only way to promote Chinese path to modernization. High quality development also includes coordinated development, green development, open development, and shared development, but all of these require innovation driven development to achieve and lead, and new quality productivity to promote and support. To this end, we need to actively develop and foster strategic emerging industries and future industries, enhance new driving forces for development, lead the overall revitalization of industries with scientific and technological innovation, provide a strong driving force for Chinese path to modernization, and provide new competitiveness and lasting impetus for high-quality development of China's economy.
