[Li Qiang emphasized during a survey in Shanghai to accelerate the cultivation and expansion of emerging industries and future industries and continue to expand and strengthen advanced manufacturing] Li Qiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council, visited Shanghai on September 22. He emphasized that it is necessary to thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on the development of advanced manufacturing and the spirit of the National Advanced Manufacturing Conference, adhere to the direction of intelligence, greenness, and integration, promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, vigorously develop a new generation of intelligent manufacturing, accelerate the cultivation and expansion of emerging industries and future industries, and continue to make advanced manufacturing bigger and stronger. At the Shanghai Electric National Artificial Intelligence Application Pilot Base, Li Qiang inspected special robots, industrial robot products and their application displays in complex scenarios, listened to reports on the construction of "artificial intelligence +" integrated service providers and artificial intelligence native factories, and visited the intelligent robot assembly and debugging pilot workshop. Li Qiang pointed out that emerging industries such as artificial intelligence are developing at a rapid pace, and the application of related technologies is profoundly reshaping the manufacturing technology system, production model and industrial form, opening up a new space for technological innovation and brand promotion in the manufacturing industry. It is necessary to combine the two advantages of China's manufacturing industry and digital intelligence technology, promote "artificial intelligence + manufacturing" in depth, promote artificial intelligence to better empower the development of advanced manufacturing, promote the intelligent upgrading of the entire process of R&D, production, management, etc., further activate the potential of data elements, drive the comprehensive digital transformation of more industries, and create a smarter industrial chain and supply chain. It is necessary to target common problems in the manufacturing field, focus on key links such as industrial design, pilot verification, and intelligent operation and maintenance, build more manufacturing production service platforms, strengthen the supply of integrated services and diversified solutions, and help all types of enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, carry out intelligent transformation more efficiently and at low cost, and continuously enhance development momentum and competitive advantages. Shanghai Future Start Community is a science and technology innovation incubation platform focusing on future industries. Li Qiang came here to learn more about the construction of community innovation ecosystem, the operation of Shanghai Future Industry Fund, etc., inspected technology products in the fields of brain-computer interface, quantum computing, etc., and communicated cordially with scientific and technological personnel and community staff. Li Qiang pointed out that future industries are potential blue oceans for the development of advanced manufacturing. It is necessary to strengthen the tracking, analysis and judgment of future technological development, strengthen the research on key core technologies, build solid basic research support, encourage bold exploration, tolerate trial and error, and continuously expand the frontier of industrial innovation. It is necessary to build a first-class innovation ecosystem, promote the in-depth integration of industry, academia and research, strengthen scientific and technological services, and actively cultivate and open application scenarios. In view of the long growth cycle and high market risks of future industries, we must vigorously develop venture capital, strengthen patient capital, and establish a future industry investment growth and risk sharing mechanism. Li Qiang emphasized that talents are the first resource, and only by having talents can we win the future. It is necessary to strengthen the talent gathering and training function of scientific research institutions, innovation platforms, enterprises, and science and technology plans, explore new models for training top innovative talents, and strive to create more high-quality talents.
