Yu Hai Tian,Mayor Yu of Jinan

Promoting new industrialization is a major strategic deployment made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, starting from the overall situation of the party and the country, and focusing on building a socialist modern power in an all-round way. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that in the new era and new journey, it is a key task to comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization. As the capital of a major industrial province and an important industrial city in the country, Jinan is one of the few cities with all industrial categories in the United Nations industrial classification. It has a solid foundation and a heavy responsibility to promote new industrialization. Faced with new situations and new tasks, Jinan will thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on new industrialization and important instructions and requirements for Shandong and Jinan’s work, unswervingly implement the strategy of industrial city development, and strive to take the lead and set an example in the process of promoting new industrialization.

1. Focus on promoting the optimization and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and consolidate the foundation for the development of new industrialization

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is the top priority of my country's high-quality economic development" and "I often say that two must be guaranteed, one is that China must hold the food bowl firmly, and the other is that the manufacturing industry must be built firmly." General Secretary Xi Jinping has elevated the manufacturing industry to an important position that concerns the overall national development. This is a profound insight into the world and national conditions, and a far-reaching consideration of the initiative for future development. We deeply realize that manufacturing is the foundation of a country and the basis for a strong country. Expanding and strengthening the manufacturing industry and building a solid support for the real economy are key links in building a modern industrial system and the only way to promote new industrialization.

In recent years, Jinan has deeply implemented the strategy of industrial city development and vigorously developed advanced manufacturing. The proportion of manufacturing in the total industry has reached more than 90%, and the output value of high-tech industries accounts for nearly 60% of the industrial output value above the designated size. It has been selected as one of the top 100 cities in the country for advanced manufacturing for three consecutive years. Facing the future, Jinan will unswervingly establish a clear orientation of "industry first, manufacturing as the master, industry as the city, and industry as the strong city", closely focus on the goals and requirements of new industrialization, accelerate the optimization and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, focus on promoting innovation upgrading, structural improvement, and chain group efficiency improvement, and strive to create new advantages for high-quality industrial development.

2. Focus on promoting the deep integration of digital and real, and enable the acceleration of new industrialization

In May 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection in Shandong that it is necessary to fully release the efficiency of the integration of the real economy and the digital economy and develop new quality productivity according to local conditions. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee made arrangements to "improve the system to promote the deep integration of the real economy and the digital economy" and "accelerate the construction of a system and mechanism to promote the development of the digital economy". The deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy is a distinctive feature of the new industrialization. To promote the new industrialization, it is necessary to strengthen the amplification, superposition and multiplication of digital technology on industrial development, and promote the transformation and upgrading of the industrial system in all directions, all factors and the whole chain.

In recent years, Jinan has vigorously promoted the construction of "Digital Jinan", taking the lead in the development of the digital economy, promoting the coordinated innovation and development of digital industrialization, industrial digitalization, and computing network integration, and the core industries of the digital economy continue to grow, the digital infrastructure is more complete, and the level of digital-real integration continues to improve. In 2023, there will be 80 industrial Internet platforms at or above the provincial level, and 12 provincial-level digital economic parks, making it the first batch of pilot cities for digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises in the country. Looking to the future, Jinan will focus on the goal of "building a strong digital economy development leading area", accelerate the promotion of digital economy upgrading and empowerment, promote quality change, efficiency change, and power change in the manufacturing industry, and gather strong momentum for taking the new industrialization road. Accelerate the promotion of digital industrialization and build a new advantage of digital-real integration. Digital industry is an important support for the digital economy and a key track for promoting new industrialization. In the next step, Jinan will coordinate the promotion of six major projects, including "casting soul" of high-end software, "strengthening core" of integrated circuits, "solidifying chain" of advanced computing, "empowering" of industrial Internet, "empowering intelligence" of artificial intelligence, and "leaping" of emerging industries, to continuously improve the development level of digital industries.

3. Focus on promoting the growth of high-quality enterprises and building a solid support for the main body of new industrialization

General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that we must do everything possible to protect market entities, stimulate the vitality of market entities, promote entrepreneurial spirit, promote enterprises to play a greater role and achieve greater development, and accumulate basic strength for economic development. Market entities are the main participants in economic activities, the main providers of employment opportunities, and the main promoters of technological progress. Without the participation of market entities, promoting new industrialization is like a tree without roots and water without a source.

In recent years, Jinan has persisted in expanding and strengthening market entities, focusing on cultivating first-class backbone enterprises, and making every effort to strengthen the vast number of small and medium-sized enterprises. The innovation vitality, competitive power, and development potential of the market economy continue to grow. Up to now, the total number of business entities in the city has exceeded 1.54 million, and a total of more than 8,000 high-quality enterprises such as provincial-level specialized, new, gazelle, and single champions have been cultivated, ranking first in the province. Facing the future, Jinan will strive to play the role of enterprises as the main force in promoting new industrialization, promote enterprises to climb and multiply, promote the gathering of various resources to enterprises, and strive to create a solid "core" for promoting new industrialization.

Adhere to the leadership of leading enterprises and promote the doubling of backbone enterprises. On the road to promoting new industrialization, large enterprises often have a stronger leading and driving role. Jinan has a number of leading backbone enterprises in the industrial field, including old and large enterprises such as Sinotruk, Inspur, No. 2 Machine Tool, and Qilu Pharmaceutical that have been rooted in Jinan for many years, as well as newly introduced cutting-edge strong enterprises such as BYD, Geely, and Aixu. In the next step, Jinan will carry out in-depth actions to cultivate pilot enterprises. On the one hand, it will give full play to the advantages of state-owned enterprises with deep resources and extensive layout, actively promote the reform and innovation of state-owned enterprises, rapidly expand and strengthen through mergers and reorganizations, continuously improve the level of operation and management, and promote state-owned enterprises to lead and demonstrate in promoting new industrialization. On the other hand, it will increase the service guarantee for key private enterprises, dynamically select high-quality enterprises with strong innovation capabilities, great development potential, and strong willingness to double, and carry out precise support in terms of expanding scale, technological innovation, talent introduction, and factor guarantee, and strive to stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of private enterprises and continuously improve the scale and level of private enterprises.

Adhere to tapping potential to promote improvement and promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Small and medium-sized enterprises are the main force in promoting new industrialization. We must widely mobilize the enthusiasm of small and medium-sized enterprises, guide them to transform and upgrade, take advantage of the situation to climb, and continuously improve the overall quality and development level of industrial enterprises. In the next step, Jinan will continue to promote the "individual to enterprise" and "enterprise to scale" of market entities, and continuously expand the group of industrial enterprises above the scale. Accelerate the expansion of the phalanx of high-quality enterprises, do a good job in tracking and cultivating at different levels, and strive to reach a total of 8,500 high-quality enterprises such as innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, specialized and new enterprises, and single champions by 2025. Increase the efforts to cultivate technology-based enterprises in stages, and strive to exceed 10,000 and 8,000 technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises and high-tech enterprises by 2025.

Adhere to strong synergy and aggregation, and promote the integrated development of large, medium and small enterprises. In the innovation chain, encourage and guide large enterprises to open up innovative elements and share production capacity resources to small and medium-sized enterprises, promote large, medium and small enterprises to jointly apply for innovative projects such as the industrial base reconstruction project, and cultivate a group of specialized and new small and medium-sized enterprises with outstanding collaborative supporting capabilities through ecological construction, base cultivation, internal incubation, empowerment and data interconnection. In terms of supply chain, we will thoroughly implement the "joint action" of large, medium and small enterprises, carry out supply and demand matching activities on a regular basis, and promote the development of large, medium and small enterprises in groups through shared design, intensive procurement, collaborative production and other means. We will create a number of typical models of integrated development. In terms of talent chain, we will encourage industry leaders, state-owned enterprises and small, medium and micro enterprises to strengthen docking and exchanges, explore and implement the talent enclave model, promote talent sharing and use, and provide solid intellectual support for enterprise development.

4.Focus on improving the level of green development and build a new ecological foundation for industrialization. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that we must firmly establish the concept that green waters and green mountains are gold and silver mountains, and plan development from the perspective of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. This is a profound summary of the successful experience of ecological civilization construction in the new era, and it is also a new requirement for correctly handling the relationship between man and nature on the new journey of high-quality development. We deeply realize that greening is an inevitable requirement for new industrialization, and the industrialization pursued by the new industrialization road is "high technological content, good economic benefits, low resource consumption, less environmental pollution, and full utilization of human resources advantages". Jinan bears in mind the important instructions and requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping, unswervingly follows the path of green, low-carbon and high-quality development, integrates the concepts of green development, circular development and low-carbon development into all aspects and the entire process of industrial development, forges new advantages and cultivates new momentum in green development, and strives to build a new ecological foundation for industrialization. Accelerate the improvement of energy and resource utilization efficiency. In recent years, Jinan has conscientiously implemented the national "dual carbon" strategy, deepened the dual control of the total amount and intensity of various resources, strengthened energy conservation and intensive utilization, and the energy consumption intensity has decreased by 14.1% since the 14th Five-Year Plan. The proportion of non-fossil energy consumption has increased by 1.4 percentage points compared with the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan, and the proportion of clean energy power generation has increased to 19.5%. In the next step, Jinan will actively promote resource integration and revitalization, vigorously develop the circular economy, strengthen the comprehensive utilization of industrial solid waste such as scrap steel and waste batteries, and fully circulate resources in the industrial chain; accelerate the large-scale development of photovoltaics and the diversified utilization of biomass energy, develop new energy such as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy according to local conditions, and continuously optimize the energy structure. It is hoped that by 2025, the city's new energy and renewable energy power generation installed capacity will reach 4.3 million kilowatts, and the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will reach 7%.

Vigorously develop green and low-carbon industries. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection in Shandong that it is necessary to vigorously promote the green and low-carbon transformation of development methods and promote green environmental protection science and technology innovation and industrial development. In recent years, Jinan has insisted on developing a green economy as a key move to implement the "dual carbon" strategy and promote the transformation of new and old kinetic energy, vigorously promoted the green transformation of the industrial structure, actively cultivated and expanded green productivity, and accelerated the construction of a green and low-carbon industrial system. New energy equipment, new energy vehicles and other industries have begun to take shape and form advantages. In the next step, Jinan will unswervingly use the green concept to breed new industries, give birth to new formats, provide new supplies, and create new demands, further promote the deep integration of emerging technologies and green and low-carbon industries, focus on key areas to strengthen project attraction, and continuously improve the green industrial chain and enhance the scale and level of green industries.
