The recently held National Conference on Industry and Information Technology proposed that it is expected that the added value of industries above designated size will increase by about 5.7% year-on-year in 2024, and the proportion of manufacturing added value to GDP will remain basically stable. Facing 2025, the conference proposed 12 key tasks, including promoting stable growth of the industrial economy, advancing the integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, strengthening the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and cultivating and strengthening emerging and future industries. In terms of fully promoting stable growth of the industrial economy, a new round of work plan for stabilizing growth in the top ten key industries will be implemented, and efforts will be made to strengthen the operation, scheduling, supervision, and guidance of industrial provinces. Develop a plan to establish a mechanism for maintaining a reasonable proportion of investment in the manufacturing industry, and strengthen the implementation of large-scale equipment updates and support policies for the trade in of consumer goods. Launch the world-class advanced manufacturing cluster cultivation project. In promoting the integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, we will deepen the implementation of major national science and technology projects, innovate the organizational model for tackling key problems, and quickly form a number of core technologies that drive industrial development. Establish and improve a gradient cultivation system for high-quality enterprises such as high-tech enterprises, technology-based and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, gazelle enterprises, unicorn enterprises, etc. Strengthen the construction of national manufacturing innovation centers, layout and build a number of national manufacturing pilot platforms and industrial technology basic public service platforms. Implement the National High tech Zone New Track Cultivation Action and promote the upgrading of a number of provincial-level development zones to national high-tech zones. Looking ahead to 2025, to lead the development of new quality productivity through technological innovation, we need to focus on three aspects: increasing the supply of high-quality technology, strengthening the dominant position of enterprises in technological innovation, and promoting the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements Zhang Li, President of the China Electronics Information Industry Development Research Institute, believes that it is necessary to focus on national strategies and the practical needs of economic and social development, take key common technologies, cutting-edge leading technologies, modern engineering technologies, and disruptive technological innovations as breakthroughs, focus on the implementation of major national science and technology projects and key research and development plans, coordinate the promotion of forging long boards and filling gaps, and tackle and break through a number of major strategic technologies and products. In terms of strengthening the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, the meeting proposed to launch the action of implementing standard upgrading to lead the optimization and upgrading of traditional industries. Strengthen the technological transformation of key industry enterprises, promote equipment updates, process upgrades, digital empowerment, and management innovation in key industries. In terms of cultivating and strengthening emerging and future industries, the conference proposed to implement the action of cultivating emerging industries to create new momentum, and promote large-scale application demonstrations of new technologies, products, and scenarios in the manufacturing industry. Promote the development of intelligent connected vehicles and expand the scale of Beidou applications. Carry out the task of "unveiling the list and leading the way" for future industrial innovation, and formulate and introduce policies for innovative development in fields such as biomanufacturing, quantum industry, embodied intelligence, and atomic level manufacturing. In terms of promoting high-quality development of the information and communication industry, the conference proposed to improve policies and measures for the development of "dual gigabit" networks, pilot the deployment of 10 gigabit optical networks, and strive to build more than 4.5 million 5G base stations cumulatively. Orderly promote the construction and layout optimization of computing power centers, and accelerate the upgrading of the network to form a "connected computing network". Promote the evolution of 5G and the innovative development of 6G technology. In promoting the deep integration of informatization and industrialization, we will adhere to the coordination of "point, line, and surface", accelerate the full coverage of digital transformation of industrial enterprises above designated size and specialized, refined, and new small and medium-sized enterprises, formulate digital transformation guidelines for key industries based on "one industry, one policy", and build 200 high standard digital parks within three years.
