"New quality productivity" is a hot word during this year's National Two Sessions, and it was written into the "Government Work Report" for the first time.
"Vigorously promote the construction of a modern industrial system and accelerate the development of new productive forces" is listed as the first of the top ten government tasks in 2024.
As the backbone of China-style modernization drive, how do state-owned and central-owned enterprises develop and develop new productive forces?
On March 11, a reporter from Securities Daily interviewed several heads of central enterprises in this regard.
Empower traditional industries
Talking about how central enterprises can accelerate the development of new productive forces, Zhang Yuzhuo, Secretary and Director of the Party Committee of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, gave the answer from three gradients: technological source, industrial upgrading, and industrial ecology during the National Two Sessions in 2024.
Among them, in terms of industrial upgrading, it is clear that on the one hand, central enterprises have a lot of layout in traditional industries, and now they need to use new technologies to transform traditional industries, carry out high-end, intelligent, and green transformation to improve the efficiency of traditional industries; on the other hand, , industrial upgrading must place strategic emerging industries and future industries in a prominent position.
Yu Peigen, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Party Secretary and Chairman of Dongfang Electric Group, believes that to accelerate the formation of new productive forces, it is necessary to further promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure.
To this end, Dongfang Electric Group, as a high-end equipment manufacturing enterprise, will focus on the "three transformations" of digitalization, intelligence and green and low-carbon, transform and upgrade traditional industries, and continue to improve the level of high-end, intelligent and green industries.
Zhang Yichen, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman and CEO of CITIC Capital, said in an interview with a reporter from Securities Daily that at present, traditional industries are still an important pillar of our country's economy. Therefore, to accelerate the development of new productive forces, we cannot just focus on " "New", we should use technological innovation to empower traditional industries according to local conditions based on resource endowments and industrial advantages, that is, using new technologies to promote the optimization and upgrading of traditional industrial chains and supply chains, thereby enhancing their resilience and competitiveness.
New productivity is contemporary advanced productivity spawned by revolutionary breakthroughs in technology, innovative allocation of production factors, and in-depth industrial transformation and upgrading.
The development of new productive forces is not only an intrinsic requirement and an important focus to promote high-quality development, but also the fundamental driving force for promoting new industrialization.
Zhang Xiaolun, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Party Secretary and Chairman of China National Machinery Industry Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Sinomachine Group"), told a reporter from Securities Daily that at present, the development of new productivity is in progress and requires enterprises to continue to explore.
For enterprises in the industrial field such as SINOMACH, promoting the development of new productive forces must focus on new industrialization, including strategic emerging industries represented by new generation technology, new energy, new materials, high-end equipment and other fields, as well as quantum technology, Future industries represented by genetic technology and future networks.
In the next step, SINOMACH will vigorously promote the construction of the source of original technology and create a source of original technology in the field of hydrogen energy and industrial aircraft.
Increase the layout of the two major industries
In the face of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, cultivating and strengthening emerging industries and planning ahead to build future industries have become the top priority for improving the modern industrial system.
This year's "Government Work Report" pointed out that it is necessary to "accelerate the development of cutting-edge emerging hydrogen energy, new materials, innovative drugs and other industries, and actively create new growth engines such as biomanufacturing, commercial aerospace, and low-altitude economy."
According to Zhao Xiaochen, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Party Secretary and Chairman of China Youyan Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Youyan"), breakthroughs in new materials are an important prerequisite and foundation for the gestation and development of new productivity.
In the future, in terms of "strengthening the layout of cutting-edge technologies and cultivating new driving forces for the development of new quality productivity", China Youyan will insist on moving the competitive point forward, deploying ahead of schedule, and investing ahead of time, so as to be the first to achieve breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies and lead the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries. and future industries, achieve key breakthroughs and establish competitive advantages in new fields and new tracks such as new energy and new materials, lead the formation of new productive forces with the development of emerging industries, and cultivate new momentum for enterprise development.
Yu Xubo, deputy to the National People's Congress, party secretary and chairman of China General Technology (Group) Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China General Group"), said that machine tools and equipment, medicine and health care are the two main businesses of China General Technology Group. National security, the lifeblood of the national economy and the national economy and people’s livelihood.
In 2024, China General Group will accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries and future industrial layout, increase the layout of new industries such as high-end CNC machine tools, new fiber materials, biopharmaceuticals, health industries, and high-end medical equipment, enhance systematic development capabilities, and create More "national treasures" and "specialized, special and innovative" enterprises will continue to consolidate the industrial foundation for high-quality development.
It is worth mentioning that for new productive forces with technological innovation as the core driving force, the information technology industry has become a battleground in technological competition between countries.
Zhang Zhiyong, deputy to the National People's Congress, secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Tower, said in an interview with a reporter from Securities Daily that as the main force in my country's digital infrastructure construction, China Tower is currently making every effort to promote the new generation of mobile communication networks, computing power networks, and future For network construction, we will carry out in-depth special actions of "Signal Upgrade" and "Broadband Frontier" to promote the high-quality development of "dual gigabit" networks; actively explore the collaborative integration of star network technology and cellular technology to promote future network development; at the same time, further accelerate the transformation of communication towers It is a digital tower based on "iron tower + big data + AI" to increase digital intelligence empowerment and serve thousands of industries.
For the basic software that supports and ensures the widespread application of digital technology, the operating system is obviously its important core.
According to Chen Zhihua, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Party Secretary and Chairman of Kirin Software Co., Ltd., although the security and stability of domestic operating systems have developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, driven by independent information technology innovation projects, they are now This stage still faces difficulties in technology research and development and industrial collaboration.
