In terms of traditional industries, we will focus on three major industries such as food, implement a new round of technological transformation, promote technological transformation investment to account for more than 30% of manufacturing investment, and accelerate the revitalization of existing industries; in terms of emerging industries, we will cultivate and expand six major industries such as smart power equipment and new materials, create two over 100 billion and four over 10 billion industries, and strive to achieve a share of the added value of strategic emerging industries. The proportion of industrial industries has increased by more than 10 percentage points, shaping new momentum for industrial development; in terms of future industries, accelerate the layout of three major industries such as hydrogen energy and new energy storage, focus on N new technologies and new business formats such as computing and computer collaboration, do a good job in technical reserves and enterprise cultivation, build a high-quality future industry pilot zone in Xiangcheng County, implement a number of future industry landmark projects, and seize a new track for industrial development.
The second is to pay more attention to the construction of "one circle and two valleys". Build a high-level Furong Lake modern service industry innovation circle, focusing on industrial design, inspection and testing, science and technology innovation finance, etc., promote circle-valley linkage, industry complementarity, and promote the deep integration of modern service industry and advanced manufacturing; revitalize and reshape Zhongyuan Electric Valley, rely on Zhongyuan Electric Laboratory and other leading enterprises to tackle key technologies, accelerate the development of new power systems, and actively promote The intelligent power equipment industry will create a national-level advanced manufacturing cluster to enhance its influence across the country; accelerate the construction of the Central Plains Life and Health Valley, focus on leading industries such as biomanufacturing, medical equipment, and health food; continue to make efforts to expand the industrial chain; strive to achieve breakthroughs and quality improvements from "selecting the right track" to "expanding scale"; and constantly cultivate and develop new advantages.
The third is to pay more attention to strengthening the industrial chain group. Improve the leading industrial chain, focusing on chain-owner enterprises such as Yellow River Tornado Co., Ltd., encourage enterprises to reinvest and expand their scale, promote the extension, supplementation and strengthening of the industrial chain, and promote the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. Increase efforts to attract industrial projects, launch a number of major projects with strong innovative technologies, high per-acre benefits, and sufficient development potential, and form a number of key industrial chain groups with demonstration and leading effects.
