Anhui plans to cultivate more than 4 trillion-level advanced manufacturing clusters

China News Service, Hefei, October 23 (Reporter Zhang Qiang) The reporter learned at a press conference held by the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on the 23rd that the province will implement the advanced manufacturing cluster cultivation and expansion project and accelerate the cultivation of more than 4 trillion-level clusters and more than 20 100-billion-level industrial chains.

The report of the 12th Party Congress of Anhui Province proposed the goal of "accelerating the pace of building a strong manufacturing province". In the next five years, the province will make efforts in five aspects: expansion of capacity and quality, integration of science and industry, digital intelligence empowerment, value creation, and ecological cultivation, and launch a series of measures to make advanced manufacturing bigger and stronger.

In terms of industrial layout, Anhui will cultivate and expand emerging industries such as intelligent connected new energy vehicles, new generation information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing, and new materials, proactively deploy future industries such as quantum technology, biomanufacturing, hydrogen and nuclear fusion energy, brain-computer interfaces, and embodied intelligence, and renovate and upgrade traditional industries such as steel, nonferrous metals, chemicals, and building materials.

In terms of the integration of science and industry, Anhui adheres to the principle of "industry formulates questions and science and technology answers questions", improves the condensation and release mechanism of major scientific and technological tasks based on industrial needs, implements high-quality development actions for key industrial chains, strengthens the construction of high-level innovation platform systems and high-quality scenarios; strengthens the main position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation, cultivates scientific and technological leaders and specialized new enterprises, accelerates breakthroughs in a number of key core technologies, and allows more innovative achievements to move from the laboratory to the production line.

Manufacturing is the “main battlefield” for artificial intelligence applications. Anhui will focus on the new generation of smart manufacturing, implement the "artificial intelligence + manufacturing" action, strengthen the construction of industrial models, agents and high-quality data sets, further promote the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, and gradually build smart factories, digital parks and smart products.

The province will also implement projects such as green manufacturing, integrated development of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries, and improvement of manufacturing excellence quality to promote the manufacturing industry to move towards the middle and high end of the value chain; improve the mechanism for maintaining a reasonable proportion of investment in manufacturing, optimize the policy system of manufacturing to strengthen the province, promote the concentration of talents, technology, capital, data and other elements in advanced manufacturing, and create a first-class business environment.
