The 2023 Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that we should promote the industrial innovation through technological innovation and develop new quality productivity, especially using disruptive and cutting-edge technologies to create new industries, new models, and new driving forces. This statement strongly encourages industries represented by the internet and computing power to engage in technological innovation, and provides a theoretical logic and policy path for accelerating the development of new quality productivity.
From the practice and temporal logic of industrial development, there is a certain continuity between traditional industries, strategic emerging industries, and future industries. Among them, traditional industries are the current pillar industries and the cash cow that creates benefits in the national economy. Strategic emerging industries are often the leading industries in the national economy and will become pillar industries in the future economic system. The future industries represent the new direction for major technological and industrial innovation in the future.
To develop new quality productivity in Jiangsu, we should not only seize the development opportunities of future industries, but also make use of the success of the fourth technological revolution such as intelligence, digitization, and networking, so as to vigorously transform traditional industries and strengthen emerging industries. The construction of a modern industrial system in Jiangsu should implement three major tasks, which are transforming and revitalizing traditional industries, strengthening strategic emerging industries, and cultivating future industries.
