"Disruptive Technology Industrialization Index Report (2026)" was released in Tianjin

China News Service, Tianjin, November 13 (Xue Chunyue Sun Yifei) On the 13th, the "Disruptive Technology Industrialization Index Report (2026)" was released at the 2026 Enterprise Science and Technology Innovation and Development Forum held in Tianjin. The report believes that the industrialization of global disruptive technologies has entered a critical window period, and for the first time, China is standing on the starting line with an undetermined future industrial paradigm.

The report was jointly released by Science and Technology Daily, China Academy of Engineering Science and Technology Innovation Strategy, Shanghai Institute of Science, Tsinghua University and other units. This year’s report expanded the assessment areas from 8 to 10, adding hydrogen energy and 6G. This time, an international comparative analysis has been added, and the three major tracks of quantum computing, brain-computer interface, and controllable nuclear fusion have been selected to compare domestic and foreign potentials.

The report analyzes that the industrialization of my country's disruptive technologies has entered a period of innovation accumulation, ecological empowerment, and industrial momentum building. In the past six years, my country's disruptive technology industrialization index has climbed from 100 in the base period to 158.63. The ecological support has increased from 47.14% to 85.99%, and the market transformation power has increased from 41.4% to 79.32%. The growth of industrial development has slowed down significantly, and industrialization has become the most prominent common shortcoming.

In terms of regional structure, the five provinces and cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Zhejiang are in the first echelon; Liaoning has improved by three places, achieving a leap forward in the echelon; Inner Mongolia has improved by seven places, and the progress in the central and western regions is obvious. The report points out that regional competition has shifted from a competition in scientific and educational resource endowments to a systematic competition in industrialization efficiency. The correlation coefficient between the industrialization index of disruptive technologies and per capita GDP increased from 0.711 last year to 0.777.

In addition, the report also pointed out that the focus of industrialization is shifting from technical performance breakthroughs to stable system operation, real scenarios have become an important traction for industrialization, and AI empowerment is expected to become a variable that spans the bottom layer of the field.
