Multi-sectoral support policy speeds up the introduction of local implementation rules

Central government intensive planning of high-quality development planning for manufacturing

Major technological transformations will be invested in large-scale investment, and 40 national manufacturing innovation centers will accelerate their rise.

As an important support for steady growth, the support for high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is increasing. The "Economic Information Daily" reporter was informed that this year will develop a deployment plan to promote the high-quality development of manufacturing. At present, a number of departments are intensively introducing policies, and local implementation rules are also in the pipeline. Major technological transformations and the cultivation of high-end manufacturing or ushered in large-scale investment of up to trillions, 40 national manufacturing innovation centers are also expected to accelerate the rise.

The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting recently and proposed for the first time to promote the high-quality development of manufacturing industry as an important support for steady growth, to guide the traditional industries to accelerate transformation and upgrading, and to strengthen and expand emerging industries. Multi-sectoral implementation of support policies intensively around the high-quality development of manufacturing. The Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation have recently announced that accelerated depreciation of fixed assets will be extended to all manufacturing industries, and enterprises will be accelerated to accelerate equipment renewal and promote transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has accelerated the promotion of high-quality development of top-level design in manufacturing industry and implemented major industrial upgrading projects.

In addition, the reporter learned that the local version of the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is also in full swing. Guangdong Province is planning to establish a system and mechanism for high-quality development of manufacturing industry. It plans to explore a comprehensive evaluation system for high-quality development of manufacturing in the province, and plan and develop advanced areas in the fields of electronic information, green petrochemicals, automobiles, smart home appliances and robots. Manufacturing cluster programs and special action plans. Hubei Province will develop an annual action plan for ten key industries such as integrated circuits, next-generation information technology, and intelligent manufacturing.

Data show that the added value of high-tech manufacturing in the first quarter of this year increased by 7.8%. Investment in technological transformation of manufacturing industry increased by 16.9%, 12.3 percentage points faster than total industrial investment. It is worth noting that as the two main directions of high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, many targets for major technological transformation and cultivation of high-end manufacturing industries, and are still planning a large investment of one trillion yuan.

Lin Zhiyuan, deputy director of the Macroeconomic Research Center of Xiamen University, told the reporter of the Economic Information Daily that using technology investment in manufacturing as an entry point will drive investment in the whole society, which will help stabilize growth and integrate information technology into R&D, design and production. The integration of information and industrialization in all aspects of circulation will help promote transformation. Increasing investment in high-end manufacturing will help to promote the development of high-tech and high-value-added high-end manufacturing and strategic emerging industries through industrial upgrading, and drive the traditional manufacturing of textiles, steel, nonferrous metals, petrochemicals, and automobiles. Manufacturing extends to the high end of the value chain.

In cultivating high-end manufacturing, many localities also plan to set up special funds to cultivate high-end manufacturing equipment industry clusters. For example, Fujian Province will implement the 100 billion cluster cultivation plan and focus on the implementation of intelligent manufacturing and high-end equipment innovation projects in the field of mechanical equipment; Jinan City will arrange 500 million yuan each year to support the development of advanced manufacturing and digital economy, focusing on cultivating high-end equipment and intelligent manufacturing, high-end Industrial clusters such as CNC machine tools and robots.

It is worth mentioning that a number of national manufacturing innovation centers will also accelerate their rise. It is reported that by 2025, China will form about 40 national manufacturing innovation centers. As of the first quarter of this year, the number of national manufacturing innovation centers has reached 10. This year, a number of national manufacturing innovation centers will be newly constructed in key areas. In the next step, we will increase support for the Innovation Center, reform the financial support mode of the Innovation Center, strengthen the assessment of the built innovation center, implement dynamic management, focus on key areas of strategy, and promote the upgrading of provincial centers.

Chongqing recently released the implementation rules for the construction innovation center construction project, and strive to create 2-3 national manufacturing innovation centers, which will provide 20 million yuan of research and development subsidies for three consecutive years; Hubei Province will also build a number of national innovation platforms. Including advanced storage national industrial innovation center, intelligent automobile industry innovation center.

“High-quality development of manufacturing industry needs to strengthen innovation capacity building, including improving the national manufacturing innovation system, accelerating the establishment of manufacturing innovation network with innovation center as the core carrier, public service platform and engineering data center as important support; strengthening key core technologies R&D, strengthen the main position of enterprise technology innovation, support enterprises to enhance their innovation capabilities, and promote the construction of national technology innovation demonstration enterprises and enterprise technology centers, etc. Lu Tie, a researcher at the Institute of Industrial Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Economic Information Daily.

He Ying, director of the Technology and Standards Institute of the CCID Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, told the Economic Information Daily that the future manufacturing innovation center must adhere to the market-oriented, focus on key common technologies in the industry, and carry out technological research and transfer of results. Diffusion and radiation drive the innovation ability of the whole industry.

However, He Ying also pointed out that in promoting the high-quality development of manufacturing industry, all localities need to combine their own development foundation and positioning, and continually stimulate the cultivation of innovative leading enterprises, the construction of manufacturing innovation centers, and the function of innovative service platforms. The innovation vitality and motivation of the enterprise, improve the regional innovation ecosystem, and provide system power support for high-quality development.

In Lin Zhiyuan's view, to achieve high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, it is also necessary to coordinate the relationship between the market and the government. The role of the government should be mainly positioned in the areas of building institutional infrastructure and correcting market failures. Technology innovation and industrial upgrading should be mainly It is done by the market.
