New industrialization is the path to a strong country, and advanced manufacturing is the foundation of a strong country. Compared to traditional manufacturing, advanced manufacturing is an industry that continuously absorbs high-tech and applies it throughout the manufacturing process. It has the characteristics of high technology and high added value, and plays an important leading and driving role in the upgrading of the entire industry. An advanced manufacturing cluster is an industrial ecosystem formed by highly concentrated advanced manufacturing enterprises and related entities within a certain region, which is at a leading level in terms of innovation capability, brand effect, scale, and market competitiveness. Compared with traditional industrial clusters, advanced manufacturing clusters have stronger comprehensive strength, higher innovation level, and better collaborative cooperation. In the new era and new journey, we should give full play to the role of advanced manufacturing cluster, adhere to the better combination of effective market and promising government, accelerate the construction of modern industrial system, and provide important support for Chinese path to modernization. The development of industrial clusters is a typical feature of industrial development, and having a group of advanced manufacturing clusters with international competitiveness and influence is an important symbol of a manufacturing powerhouse. In recent years, developed economies such as the United States, Japan, and Germany have formulated corresponding development strategies and support policies to promote the development and growth of manufacturing clusters in their advantageous areas. China attaches great importance to the development of advanced manufacturing clusters. Currently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has selected 45 national advanced manufacturing clusters. By constructing a competition mechanism between clusters to catch up with each other and promote mutual development, promoting the formation of a cluster ecosystem with efficient gathering of factors and smooth circulation, cultivating specialized and market-oriented cluster development promotion organizations, China has made significant progress in cultivating advanced manufacturing clusters, and has initially formed a cluster system with prominent innovation capabilities, leading enterprises, prominent scale effects, and significant agglomeration effects. Developing advanced manufacturing clusters is an important lever to promote industries towards the mid to high end, enhance the resilience and security level of industrial and supply chains, and facilitate the formation of scale effects and competitive advantages such as collaborative innovation, talent aggregation, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. Under the new situation, China should attach greater importance to the development of advanced manufacturing clusters and fully leverage their role in modernization construction. Cultivating advanced manufacturing clusters is an important measure to implement the innovation driven development strategy and achieve technological self-reliance and self-improvement. To achieve self-reliance and self-improvement in high-level science and technology is an important proposition in the construction of Chinese path to modernization. As an advanced form of deepening industrial division of labor and agglomeration development, advanced manufacturing clusters can gather innovation chains, industrial chains, capital chains, and talent chains, forming development advantages such as close and efficient upstream and downstream cooperation, complete industrial ecology, and strong radiating and driving capabilities. They are increasingly becoming the source of industrial innovation, the cluster of high-quality enterprises, the carrier of major innovation projects, and a new highland for regional economic development. They play an important role in improving supply quality, enhancing the stability and competitiveness of industrial and supply chains, and supporting the construction of a new development pattern. The development and upgrading of advanced manufacturing clusters stem from the construction and evolution of innovation networks. Innovation networks can timely grasp the technological frontiers, major issues, and breakthrough paths of advanced manufacturing, and more effectively allocate innovation
