The future industry is "on fire".

Judging from the work reports of local governments, more than half of the provinces have clearly proposed to look forward to the layout of future industries when deploying key tasks this year or the next five years, and they are rushing to seize new tracks and cultivate new momentum.

  For example, in the eastern region, Jiangsu proposed to actively develop future industries such as third-generation semiconductors and metaverse; Beijing proposed to cultivate data-driven future industries; Fujian proposed to lay out future industries such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and metaverse to create big data , Internet of Things, satellite applications and other 100-billion-yuan industrial clusters.

In the central and western regions, Hubei proposed to advance the layout of future industries such as quantum information, brain-inspired science, and metaverse; Chongqing proposed to cultivate future industrial clusters such as artificial intelligence, satellite Internet, and green and low-carbon industries; Energy storage, aerospace and other future industries.

In the northeast region, Jilin stated that it will strive for the layout of national strategic scientific and technological forces, and build a national innovation-driven development pilot zone, a national double-chain integrated development pilot zone, and a national future industry incubation pilot zone; Heilongjiang stated in its key work arrangements for 2023 that high-quality Create a future industrial science and technology park for aerospace high-end equipment.

  What is the industry of the future?

The industry believes that the future industry is an industry formed based on major cutting-edge technological innovations. It is a forward-looking industry that faces the future and determines industrial competitiveness and regional competitiveness. It is a leading industry that supports future industrial development.

The cutting-edge technology, breakthrough demand, subversive impact, strategic value and explosive prospect are the salient features of the future industry.

  In recent years, both the central and local governments have been increasing the layout of future industries.

The "14th Five-Year Plan" outline proposes to organize and implement future industrial incubation and acceleration plans in the fields of brain-like intelligence, quantum information, gene technology, future networks, deep-sea aerospace development, hydrogen energy and energy storage and other cutting-edge technologies and industrial transformation fields. Planning and layout of a number of future industries.

In November 2022, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education approved 10 industrial science and technology parks as pilot projects for the construction of future industrial science and technology parks.

Since last year, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Shanxi, Zhejiang and many other places have also issued relevant action plans or guidelines for cultivating future industries.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently stated that it will study and formulate an action plan for future industrial development, and accelerate the planning and layout of future industries such as humanoid robots, metaverse, and quantum technology.

  The Central Economic Work Conference proposed that "seize the new opportunities bred in the process of adjusting the global industrial structure and layout, and have the courage to open up new fields and win new tracks."

At present, global scientific and technological innovation has entered an intensive and active period, and a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation has had a profound impact on the global economic structure.

In recent years, major developed countries have stepped up their deployment in frontier fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum information science, advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, and advanced communication networks.

The future industry has become an important symbol to measure the scientific and technological innovation and comprehensive strength of a country or region, and it is also an important starting point for my country to build a modern industrial system and grasp the initiative of future development.

  The future industry is an innovation-driven industry.

The future industry has the characteristics of relying on new technologies, leading new demands, creating new impetus and expanding new space. Because of its "newness", the future industry has unlimited imagination space; but also because of its "newness", the future industry is still in the process of incubation stage, its development has strong uncertainty and high risk.

To plan the development of future industries, it is necessary to strengthen original and leading scientific and technological research, and speed up the resolution of the "stuck neck" problem.

Closely focus on issues such as the key to economic competitiveness, the direction of consumption upgrades, supply-side shortcomings, and social development bottlenecks, and strengthen the integrated deployment of innovation chains, industrial chains, and talent chains.

Strengthen the main position of enterprise innovation, fully mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of various innovation subjects, increase the support of policies, funds, talents and other aspects, and build "source innovation-technology transformation-product development-scenario application-industrialization-industrial clusters" The future industry cultivation link will create a good innovation ecology for the future industry development.

  At present, all regions expect to seize development opportunities through the development of future industries.

In this regard, it is necessary to avoid breaking away from the reality of development and avoiding the formation of new redundant construction. Instead, rely on their respective industrial bases and resource endowments, adapt measures to local conditions, act according to their capabilities, and make a scientific layout to coordinate the handling of the country and localities, the government and the market. , The relationship between future industries and traditional industries, forming a joint force to promote high-quality development.
