Guangming Daily:
Tianjin is a national advanced manufacturing research and development base. Airbus's second assembly line and Lenovo's innovation industry park have already been established in Tianjin. Industries such as intelligent technology, green petrochemicals, automobiles, and equipment manufacturing are also witnessing accelerated growth. What new initiatives has Tianjin implemented to promote industrial revitalization and accelerate the development of new quality productive forces? Thank you.
Dai Yongkang:
Thank you for your attention. As we all know, Tianjin is a key industrial city in modern China, and the central government has designated it as a national advanced manufacturing research and development base. This recognition highlights the advantages of Tianjin's industrial foundation and provides a path and direction for us to promote industrial revitalization and develop new quality productive forces based on local conditions.
Tianjin boasts a solid foundation and advantages in the manufacturing sector. We are home to 38 national engineering research centers, 77 national enterprise technical centers, 28 national champions in specific fields, and 253 "little giant" enterprises with high growth potential, advanced technology and strong market competitive edge as well as single-product specialists. Tianjin has also nurtured a batch of new research and development institutions that integrate scientific research, industry and finance, such as the Tianjin Research Institute for Advanced Equipment of Tsinghua University, Peking University (Tianjin Binhai) New Generation Information Technology Research Institute , and Tianjin International Joint Academy of Biomedicine. Moreover, the city has established 10 major industry talent innovation and entrepreneurship alliances, connecting 100 universities and research institutes, 75 academicians and experts, and 1,700 leading entrepreneurs. Additionally, Tianjin has gathered a workforce of 35,000 engineers. These factors provide robust support for promoting industrial revitalization and developing new quality productive forces. Going forward, they are expected to play an even greater role.
Next, we will focus on four areas of work. We will strengthen our efforts in leading, traditional, emerging, and future industries. We will use sci-tech innovation to lead industrial innovation, enhance the driving force of industrial development through industrial innovation, and promote the manufacturing industry's high-end, intelligent and green development.
The focus of our leading industries is to move towards the high-end segment. Concerning our traditional leading industries, such as green petrochemicals, automobiles, and equipment manufacturing, we will vigorously enhance the supply capacity of high-end products, the localization rate of key components, and the level of cluster development. For example, in the important value chain of green petrochemicals, we are promoting the development of a high-end and refined chemical chain. We are accelerating the construction and operation of projects like a 1.2 million-ton ethylene project , as well as the Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. and Henghe projects, aiming to establish the Nangang Chemical Materials Base and a green petrochemical industrial cluster.
The focus of our traditional industries is quality improvement and upgrading. We are accelerating intelligent transformation, digitalization and networked integration in areas such as metallurgy, the light industry, and traditional Chinese medicine. This effort aims to drive equipment renewal, process upgrading, and digital empowerment, as well as enhance the quality and efficiency of development.
The focus of our emerging industries is to accelerate their growth and expansion. We are cultivating a number of strategic emerging industry clusters characterized by strong innovation capabilities, unique strengths, and high concentration in fields such as computing power, information technology, and integrated circuits. For example, in the information technology and creative industry that we are currently promoting, we are enhancing the "PK" system, which is built around the Phytium central processing unit and Kylin operating system. We are implementing the "Double Hundred Project" with 100 products and 100 application scenarios in the information technology and creative industry, aiming to establish Tianjin as a leading force and a demonstration leader in this field.
The focus of our future industries is to seize opportunities. We will accelerate our efforts in areas such as artificial intelligence, biomanufacturing and life sciences to establish a strong presence and explore new pathways for developing new quality productive forces. Thank you.
