Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 28th, "China Securities Journal" published an article on the 28th, "Multi-location layout, future industrial cultivation and growth, new growth Poles".The article said that since this year, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Nanjing and other places have issued action plans or plans for the development of future industries.Experts said that planning to develop a new track and accelerate the layout of future industries will help to cultivate and strengthen the new growth poles of our country's economy. The overall jump in the energy level of future industrial development will generate huge economic value and shape new kinetic energy and advantages for development.

Based on advantages, aim at future industries

The future industry is an industry formed by disruptive technologies and new products and formats that lead major changes, and it has the characteristics of high growth, strategy, and leadership.In the future, industry is expected to become a transformative force leading economic and social development and the main engine for promoting high-quality economic and social development.

Recently, the "Action Plan for Shanghai to Build a Highland of Future Industrial Innovation and Develop and Strengthen Future Industrial Clusters" (hereinafter referred to as the "Action Plan") issued by Shanghai pointed out that it will strive to reach 500 billion yuan in future industrial output value by 2030.The "Shenzhen Action Plan for Cultivating and Developing Future Industries (2022-2025)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Action Plan") released by Shenzhen in June proposes that by 2025, future technology application scenarios will be constructed, and the interconnection and integration with strategic emerging industries will be enhanced. Cultivate several strategic emerging industry clusters, and build an industrial ecology that promotes each other and develops in concert.

Peng Jian, deputy director of the Institute of Radio Management, Saidi Research Institute, said that a new round of scientific and technological revolution has ushered in multi-point explosive development. The accelerated development of cutting-edge technologies and future industries represented by artificial intelligence, blockchain, quantum technology, space and sky information, green and low-carbon, etc. is expected to form a new growth pole of the global economy and drive economic and social transformative development.

When laying out future industries, local places should pay more attention to finding footholds and breakthroughs based on their different industrial foundations and resources, so as to form unique industrial cluster advantages.

The "Action Plan" aims at the five major industrial clusters of “health, intelligence, energy, space, and materials”, and strives to create a highland of future industrial innovation with world influence."Relying on the new industrial system, Shanghai already has a solid foundation for developing future industries, and has gathered a group of industry leaders, high-level research institutions and a large number of innovative talents in five major fields."Zhang Hongtao, chief engineer of Shanghai Economic and Information Technology Commission, introduced.

The "Action Plan" divides future industries into two categories based on the industrial growth cycle: one is the future industries that already have a good foundation in the local area and the industrial chain is relatively complete, and are expected to grow into strategic emerging industries within 5 to 10 years; the other is the future industries that are expected to grow into strategic emerging industries within 10 to 15 years, including brain science and brain-like intelligence, deep-earth deep-sea, visible light communication and optical computing, quantum information, etc.

Technological innovation accumulates power for future industries

The development of future industries is inseparable from breakthroughs in disruptive technologies. Strengthening the function of scientific and technological innovation as the source of policy, and supporting future industrial development through scientific and technological innovation has become a necessary path.

“Focusing on the key directions of the future industry, explore the innovation model of ‘discipline + industry’, and build a highland for future industrial innovation and incubation. We hope to break through a number of key core technologies, emerge a number of high-quality original innovation achievements, incubate a group of high-growth science and technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises, and cultivate a group of innovative and entrepreneurial talents with interdisciplinary integration."Chen Hongkai, the second-level inspector of the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission, said that demand-oriented applied technology research and basic research should be strengthened, and key technological breakthroughs should be transformed into industrial innovation achievements as soon as possible, so as to accelerate the development of future industries with the growth of the R&D economy.

The "Action Plan" proposes to support leading enterprises to take the lead in forming an “innovation consortium” in accordance with the “integration of science and technology, research and application”, explore collaborative research between industry, university and research, and joint research upstream and downstream of the industrial chain; implement special projects for the training of outstanding scientific and technological innovation talents, and train top-notch innovative talents for future industries.

Xia Jiechang, vice president of the Institute of Financial and Strategic Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that as an innovative institution with a gathering of scientific research talents and a superior scientific research environment, universities should break down barriers to disciplines, make full use of their own resource advantages, and encourage related disciplines to make key breakthroughs in the problems of new industrial technologies in the future.At the same time, give full play to the main position of enterprises in innovation activities, promote close cooperation between enterprises and universities, activate the innovation vitality of enterprises, and release the original potential of enterprises.

Funds guarantee future industrial development

Financial support is an important guarantee to promote the continuous realization of scientific and technological innovation and industrialization of future industries. Various places are actively exploring diversified and professional financial support models for future industrial development, giving full play to the guiding role of financial funds.

The "Action Plan" proposes to establish a linkage mechanism between scientific and technological research and development funds and financial capital such as government guidance funds and angel investment guidance funds to support the accelerated industrialization of scientific and technological project achievements.Encourage credit institutions to innovate financial products based on the characteristics of future industrial R&D investment, support enterprises to adopt the “venture capital + intellectual property + R&D services” model, and accelerate product development and application.

The "Nanjing City Action Plan to Accelerate the Cultivation of New Industries and the Development of Future Industries" released by Nanjing City recently proposes to coordinate relevant municipal financial special funds, give full play to the guidance and action of government investment funds, appropriately improve the risk tolerance of future industries, attract social capital to participate in investment, and jointly promote the efficient docking of industries, projects and capital, and support the listing and financing of innovative enterprises in future industries.

 “Financial support not only includes policy support such as subsidies and tax breaks from national and local governments, but financial institutions are also an important support force for future industrial financing.Through various science and technology financial products, science and technology innovation enterprises can successfully solve the problems of difficult financing and lack of capital channels.At present, China's financial support for scientific and technological innovation has achieved certain results, and it is necessary to continue to enhance the participation of financial institutions in future industrial development in the future."Xia Jie said.(End)
