From east to west, from south to north, the 1.18 million square kilometers of northern Xinjiang in China are telling stories of economic transformation. The innovative practice of transforming methods and adjusting structures has made Inner Mongolia's economy full of vitality. In recent years, Inner Mongolia has been deeply implementing the new development concept, daring to step out of the "comfort zone" for economic development, accelerating the transformation of traditional industries and the strengthening of emerging industries. It adheres to the path of green and low-carbon development while balancing old and new industries and promoting innovation. The level of high-end, intelligent, and green industrial development has significantly improved. In 2024, Inner Mongolia's gross domestic product will reach 2.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 5.8% over the previous year, and its economic ranking will be promoted, entering the middle reaches of the country. The ambitious goal of "breaking new ground and entering the middle reaches" in the local area is becoming a reality. In the production workshop of Inner Mongolia Jiutai Xinyuan New Materials Co., Ltd. in Ordos City, the traditional industry undergoes a "butterfly transformation and upgrading". Cars of black coal undergo chemical reactions and become white polyethylene and polypropylene particles. These particles can not only be used to make mass consumer goods such as food packaging bags, suitcases, and biodegradable tableware, but also become important raw materials for high-end products such as absorbable surgical sutures, carbon fiber bicycle racks, and aramid bulletproof vests. Coal to oil, coal to gas, coal to olefins, coal to methanol... Inner Mongolia, which ranks first in coal production and reserves in China, has established an increasingly diverse modern coal chemical industry system. In 2024, the added value of the large-scale modern coal chemical industry increased by 7.8% year-on-year. We are based on coal and gradually build an industrial pattern with olefins, aromatics, liquid hydrogen energy, new materials and other main development directions through technological empowerment, achieving clean and efficient utilization of coal resources, "said Cui Yijun, President of Inner Mongolia Jiutai Group. Transformation is the "breakthrough" of the brave in a narrow road encounter. In recent years, Inner Mongolia has been making every effort to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Traditional advantageous industries, characteristic industries, and pillar industries are achieving a new leap from large to strong. In Baotou Rare Earth High tech Zone, more than 100 rare earth enterprises gather here. The display cabinet of Baotou Yingsite Rare Magnetic New Materials Co., Ltd. is filled with various rectangular, square, and circular magnets. These magnets contain rare earth elements, which have stronger magnetic force than similar magnets and are widely used in electronic products such as laptops and mobile phones, "said Fan Lizhong, the deputy general manager of the company. Currently, the workshop is fully engaged in production and the products are being sent to multiple countries. Currently, Baotou City is striving to build the largest rare earth new material base in China and a globally leading rare earth application base. The successful trial production of medium and heavy rare earth metal products, the accelerated construction of the Northern Rare Earth Green Smelting Upgrade Project, the official operation of the Rare Earth New Material Technology Innovation Center, and the accelerated release of the gathering effect of the Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Motor Industrial Park... Inner Mongolia is doing a good job in transforming from "soil" to "material", improving the efficiency of rare earth resource utilization and industrial deep processing. By 2024, the production of rare earth permanent magnet materials will increase by more than 30%, the output value of the rare earth industry will exceed 100 billion yuan, and the "world-class reserves" will accelerate towards becoming a "world-class industry". Simply 'digging coal to sell coal, digging soil to sell soil' not only fails to realize the true value of Inner Mongolia's high-quality energy resources, but also fails to meet the needs of building a modern strong country Cao Siyang, Director of the Energy Bureau of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, said that Inner Mongolia is constantly breaking away from its reliance on energy and relying on extensive economic development paths, shifting from factor driven to innovation driven, promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and improving quality and efficiency. The liberation of the mind is vast. In recent years, Inner Mongolia has accelerated the elimination and resolution of backward and excess production capacity, and orderly exited the restricted production capacity of traditional high energy consuming industries such as steel, coking, ferroalloys, and calcium carbide. At the same time, taking the high-quality development of traditional industries as a key component of building a modern industrial system, promoting the transformation of traditional industries into high-end, intelligent, and green industries. At the same time, with the continuous promotion of the Inner Mongolia Science and Technology "Breakthrough" project, a number of technological breakthroughs have been made in multiple fields such as dairy, rare earth, hydrogen energy, and energy storage to fill industry gaps, and regional innovation capabilities have risen four places in the national ranking. Dairy industry, rare earth new materials, and modern coal chemical industry have been selected as national advanced manufacturing clusters for 2024, ranking second in quantity among western provinces. Inner Mongolia is the largest milk source base in the country, with the only national dairy technology innovation center in the dairy industry, and is promoting the "smart transformation and digital transformation" of the dairy industry. At the Yili Chilechuan Ecological Smart Ranch, the robotic arm of the unmanned milking machine sensitively disinfects, cups, and milks the cows, producing a continuous stream of fresh milk. We can produce 11 packs of milk every second! "Said Han Fei, Vice President of Yili Group." Thanks to the digital transformation, the company's end-to-end product innovation cycle has been shortened by 20%, indirect procurement efficiency has been improved by 40%, and procurement costs have been reduced by 10%? With the acceleration of transformation and upgrading, traditional industries in Inner Mongolia continue to give birth to new industrial forms and business models, highlighting the characteristics of industrial cluster development. The international market is further expanding, and competitive billion dollar industrial clusters such as dairy, corn, forestry, rare earth new materials, and modern coal chemical industry are emerging like mushrooms after rain. In 2024, the entire region will continue to promote the improvement of agriculture and animal husbandry, the development of industry, and the upgrading of modern service industries, effectively promoting the stable operation of the primary industry, extending and supplementing the supply chain of the secondary industry, and improving the quality and efficiency of the tertiary industry. The contribution rates of the three industries to GDP growth are 10.7%, 47.4%, and 41.9%, respectively Wang Chuanjing, Deputy Director of the Statistics Bureau of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, said. 2、 The continuous increase in the proportion of the three industries and the high value-added, high-tech, intensive, and highly processed industries indicate the continuous optimization and upgrading of Inner Mongolia's industrial structure. The emerging industry is growing rapidly, driving through Huade County, Ulanqab City. Photovoltaic panels shimmer like waves in the sunlight, and rows of white fans stand proudly on the hills. In Inner Mongolia, many people will be amazed by such a grand scene of "scenery". As of the end of 2024, Inner Mongolia's new energy installed capacity will be the first in the country to exceed 100 million, reaching 135 million kilowatts, surpassing thermal power installed capacity. At the end of 2019, the local installed capacity of new energy was less than one-third of the current level. From scratch and from existence to excellence, emerging industries have taken root and gained momentum on the land of northern Xinjiang. In recent years, seizing the opportunity of the "dual carbon" strategy, Inner Mongolia has built a new energy industry system with sufficient wind and solar resources and vast land, using new energy to drive the cultivation of new industrial development strengths and forge new industrial competitive advantages. The local industry keywords are shifting from the past "sheep coal and earth gas" (meat sheep, coal, rare earths, natural gas) to "wind and solar hydrogen storage" (wind energy, photovoltaics, hydrogen energy, energy storage). Building photovoltaic power plants in coal mining subsidence areas, 80% of the green electricity is used for electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen, and 20% of the green electricity is connected to the grid At the site of the Narisong Photovoltaic Hydrogen Production Demonstration Project in Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City, the technical leader of the project, Ji Mengbo, said that this is the first 400000 kilowatt photovoltaic project in China to produce 10000 tons of green hydrogen, opening up a new track for the development of new energy manufacturing industry. Gong Mingzhu, Director of the Development and Reform Commission of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, introduced that Inner Mongolia coordinates the development of new energy and the coordinated construction of equipment manufacturing, fully develops the entire new energy industry chain, and strives to transform natural and regional advantages into industrial advantages. In 2024, the added value of new energy and related industries above designated size increased by 20.1% compared to the previous year. Among them, the new energy equipment manufacturing industry grew by 42.4%. At present, the entire industrial chain of wind solar hydrogen storage equipment manufacturing in Inner Mongolia has been basically formed, with an output value exceeding 1.2 trillion yuan, and it is expected to create another 'industrial Inner Mongolia'. In 2024, Inner Mongolia will produce over 200 billion kilowatt hours of green electricity, issue the country's first international carbon footprint certificate for green electricity, and take the lead in cross provincial ultra-high voltage green electricity trading in the country. The scale of green electricity trading ranks first in the country, and a number of enterprise headquarters such as Yuanjing, Mingyang, Longji, Longma have registered and landed... "Despite the low prices and insufficient demand for major energy products such as coal, Inner Mongolia can still achieve an 8.2% increase in non coal industrial added value compared to the previous year in 2024, reflecting the optimization and adjustment of the industrial structure in the whole region and the trend of reducing dependence on traditional energy. Wang Jinbao, Director of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, said. Looking at the magnificent grasslands, there is a surge of enthusiasm for developing new quality productive forces. In the foot-and-mouth disease inactivated vaccine workshop of Jinyu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. located in Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone, staff dressed in protective clothing shuttle between large and small metal cans. Jinyu Biotechnology has overcome the challenges of large-scale cell suspension culture technology and thousand fold purification and concentration process, becoming the leading enterprise participating in the formulation of national foot-and-mouth vaccine quality testing standards. "Xing Rui, the workshop manager of the company, introduced that Jinyu Biotechnology currently has a national market share of over 40% in foot-and-mouth vaccines. Wang Peng, Associate Researcher at the Management Research Institute of the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, analyzed that Inner Mongolia is accelerating the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries such as new energy, new materials, energy conservation and environmental protection, and high-end equipment. It is focusing on building four billion level industrial clusters of wind power, photovoltaics, hydrogen energy, and energy storage, and proactively deploying forward-looking industries such as superconducting materials and advanced nuclear energy. It is constructing a modern industrial system with diversified development and multi pole support. The accelerated rise of emerging and future industries is conducive to leveraging the comparative and latecomer advantages of the local area, accelerating the upgrading of industrial levels, and promoting high-quality development. By integrating both internal and external factors, Inner Mongolia is accelerating its integration into the global industrial chain, value chain, and innovation chain, continuously improving its industrial level and moving towards the mid to high end. In 2024, Inner Mongolia will establish three new international sister cities, the China Mongolia Erenhot Zamyn Uud Economic Cooperation Zone and Tongliao Bonded Logistics Center will be approved, the Ganqimaodu Port Expressway will be fully connected, and the Manzhouli Railway Port Mutual Trade Zone will be closed for operation. Zhang Yan, the director of Hohhot Customs, said, "By 2024, the freight volume of land ports in the entire region will exceed 120 million tons, and the total import and export volume will exceed 200 billion yuan. The export of 'new three types' products represented by electric manned vehicles, lithium batteries, and solar cells will increase by more than 50%." China Mobile Intelligent Computing Center (Hohhot), the world's largest single intelligent computing center for operators in the "new track" of green and low-carbon development in Helingeer New Area, has rows of black cabinet indicator lights that are filled with intelligent computing servers flashing from time to time. The intelligent computing scale of the center is as high as 67 billion floating-point operations per second, filling the huge gap in computing power required for the widespread application of artificial intelligence in fields such as transportation and healthcare, "said Ma Xianfeng, General Manager of China Mobile Inner Mongolia Co., Ltd. After the launch of the "East Data West Computing" project, Inner Mongolia became one of the eight computing power hub nodes in the country, with the Helingeer data center cluster as the national data center cluster. Wu Suhai, Director of the Government Service and Data Management Bureau of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, introduced that by orderly introducing the demand for computing power from the east into Inner Mongolia, the local area has fully utilized the advantages of green power to create a green computing industry. Currently, the proportion of green power usage in data centers that have been put into operation exceeds 80%, effectively improving the "green content" of China's "East Data West Computing" project. As of the end of 2024, the total computing power in Inner Mongolia has reached 94000 P, of which 87000 P is intelligent computing, ranking first in the country. In recent years, Inner Mongolia has taken the "dual carbon" goal as the guide, planned economic development from the perspective of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, continuously shaped new driving forces and advantages for development, focused on building a green, low-carbon and circular economy system, effectively reduced the resource and environmental costs of development, and continuously enhanced the potential and momentum of development. The rapid development of industries such as green computing power, green energy, and green transportation has promoted the high proportion of new energy consumption and utilization, and facilitated the continuous emergence of green industry and supply chains, contributing to the economy of Inner Mongolia
