The recently held Central Economic Work Conference proposed to actively use digital technology and green technology to transform and enhance traditional industries. In today's era, digital technology and digital economy are the opportunities for the world's technological revolution and industrial transformation, and are important pivot points for transforming and upgrading traditional industries and developing new quality productivity. Seizing the opportunities brought by the deepening development of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, widely utilizing digital and green technologies to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, is of great significance for stimulating the vitality of traditional industries, building a modern economic system, and ensuring China's industrial and national security. Traditional industries in our country play an important role in the national economy. Traditional industries are valuable assets accumulated over a long period of time in China, serving as the "ballast stone" of the national economy. They are of great significance to the daily production and life of the people, not only as the main channel for employment and the main source of fiscal revenue, but also as an important foundation for forming new quality productive forces. However, traditional industries also face problems such as weak independent innovation capabilities, insufficient supply of high-end products, and excessive competition in low-end fields. They urgently need to improve their core competitiveness through digital transformation and other means. The digital economy is an economic model based on digital technology. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's digital economy has flourished and the industrial scale has continued to grow rapidly. The "Research Report on the Development of China's Digital Economy (2024)" released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology shows that China's digital economy has entered an accelerated development cycle, with its scale growing from 11.2 trillion yuan in 2012 to 53.9 trillion yuan in 2023, expanding by 3.8 times in 11 years. The digital economy is not a completely independent new industry. It is like a highly permeable "adhesive" that can tightly integrate traditional industries together. By making good use of technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, blockchain, and 5G, traditional industries can be revitalized. In May 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection in Shandong that through the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, new quality productive forces can also be developed. We should focus on developing new quality productive forces and aim for high-quality development, further optimizing and strengthening traditional industries such as steel, building materials, chemicals, and textiles. We should pay attention to filling the gaps and weaknesses in high-end supply and low-end overcapacity, and continuously promote the development of traditional industries towards high-end, intelligent, and green development. Promote the high-end transformation of traditional industries. The high-end trend is often accompanied by the introduction of new technologies, which is the driving force for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the acceleration of the development of new quality productivity. By introducing new technologies, traditional industries can improve production efficiency, reduce costs, enhance product quality and added value. We need to accelerate the shaping of strengths in traditional manufacturing industries, promote strong chain extension and supplementation, achieve advanced industrial foundations and modernization of industrial chains, and inject momentum into the high-end development of traditional industries. At the same time, we will strengthen the innovation and iteration of new technologies and products, promote the combination of traditional industries and new technologies, cultivate a group of high-quality, cost-effective, and marketable new products, and create a group of internationally and domestically renowned manufacturing brands. In recent years, domestic refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines and other household appliances have accelerated their transformation to the middle and high end. The recognition of the "China-Chic" brand in the domestic and overseas markets has significantly improved. The consumer goods industry has achieved remarkable results in increasing varieties, improving quality and creating brands. The traditional industry has shown a positive momentum of "education with innovation". Promote the intelligent transformation of traditional industries. China's traditional industries have a large scale, with a large number of production processes, equipment and facilities, and product types. Accelerating digital transformation is the key path to stimulate the vitality of traditional industries. Vigorously promote the application of intelligent manufacturing equipment and software, accelerate the construction and popularization of industrial Internet, and promote the digital transformation of R&D, design, production, management, market service and other links. Fully leverage the multiplier effect of artificial intelligence on traditional industries, explore new models of intelligent manufacturing based on artificial intelligence, actively develop application scenarios of AI models in the industrial field, and achieve intelligent transformation of various links in the manufacturing industry. Build an intelligent ecosystem, establish technology research and development platforms, public service platforms, cultivate and strengthen the main body of system solution suppliers, and provide more powerful technical support for the transformation and upgrading of traditional enterprises. In recent years, the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions have utilized new generation information technologies and intelligent manufacturing technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing to promote large-scale equipment updates in traditional industries. They have adopted intelligent equipment such as industrial robots and automated assembly lines, actively promoted production models such as "light tower factories" and "black light factories", and applied digital technology to upgrade existing products and develop new ones, promoting the "smart manufacturing to the new" of traditional industries. Accelerate the green transformation of traditional industries. Green development is the foundation of high-quality development, and new quality productivity itself is green productivity. Green development is not only a vivid embodiment of the new development concept, but also an important direction for traditional industries to shape future development advantages. Given the heavy emphasis on traditional industrial structure, the task of green development in traditional industries is arduous. At present, it is necessary to implement precise policies in different industries and fields, deeply implement energy-saving and carbon reduction technology transformation, optimize industrial structure and product structure, strengthen green and low-carbon orientation, accelerate the formation of green production models, and build an efficient and circular green and low-carbon industrial system. At the same time, we will improve the green manufacturing and service system, raise environmental standards for production and manufacturing, widely adopt clean energy, accelerate the process of clean manufacturing, low-carbon technology, and efficient resource utilization. Intensify support for green technology innovation in enterprises, promote the popularization and application of green technology innovation and advanced technology, create green factories and green supply chains, continuously promote the "green to new" development of traditional industries, and polish the distinctive background of the development of new quality productivity.
