On October 20th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce the development of industry and information technology in the first three quarters. Overall, China has achieved positive results in the high-quality development of industry and information technology, with stable and high-quality economic operation, a new and optimized industrial structure, advanced manufacturing deepening and solidifying, and a continuously optimized development environment.

Core indicators show that the resilience of the industrial market is prominent. In the first three quarters, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 5.3% year-on-year, and the contribution rate of industry to economic growth remained at around 35%. In the first 8 months, the total profit of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 15.7% year-on-year. The digital industry is accelerating its development, with a year-on-year increase of 14.6% in revenue. The two ends of supply and demand are working together to promote the implementation and effectiveness of stable growth policies in key industries, expand the supply of high-quality industrial products, ensure the stable operation of the industrial economy, and achieve synchronous growth in production and efficiency.

The industrial structure is moving towards novelty and optimization. Wang Weiming, Chief Engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that in the first three quarters, the added value of high-tech manufacturing industry above designated size increased by 14.3% year-on-year, and the proportion of added value of equipment manufacturing industry to industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 0.8 percentage points compared to the end of last year. The proportion of exports of electromechanical products and high-tech products denominated in RMB to the total export value increased by 3.8 and 4.9 percentage points respectively compared to the same period last year. Humanoid robots are accelerating their entry into the market, and achievements in the field of innovative drugs are constantly emerging. In the first three quarters, 80% of China's approved innovative drugs were domestically produced, and significant breakthroughs were made in drug research in multiple fields such as oncology, psychiatry, anti infection, gout, and rare diseases.

Advanced manufacturing deepens and solidifies. The new generation of intelligent manufacturing has become the main focus; Artificial Intelligence+Manufacturing; The action has been deeply implemented, and new steps have been taken in the development of advanced manufacturing industry. More than 13000 advanced level intelligent factories and over 500 excellent level intelligent factories have been built nationwide. Domestic computing power and the ability to adapt to large models continue to enhance, forming over 1000 application scenarios in 20 industries such as steel, automotive, and pharmaceuticals, and selecting and promoting more than 100 cohesive projects; Master's Experience; Industrial intelligent agents. The production mode is accelerating its restructuring, and the self-developed AI fully direct drive CNC machine tool has achieved a breakthrough. The overall performance of the machine has improved by 30% to 60% compared to national standards. Future manufacturing models such as shared manufacturing of construction machinery, island based manufacturing of automobiles, and agile customization of home appliances are being explored at an accelerated pace. Intelligent terminals such as AI glasses and AI mobile phones are constantly emerging, and the penetration rate of L2 level combined driving assistance function passenger cars exceeds 70%. The first batch of L3 level conditional autonomous driving models are on the road in specific areas, and the intelligent consumer equipment industry has achieved rapid growth.

In terms of market development environment, the policy focus continues to sink, targeting the pain points and difficulties of small and medium-sized enterprises. On the one hand, regular discussions and exchanges among manufacturing enterprises are carried out, and the gradient cultivation system for high-quality small and medium-sized enterprises is continuously improved, focusing on solving urgent and difficult problems for enterprises. On the other hand, focusing on rectifying irrational competition in key industries, we will comprehensively use market-oriented and rule of law methods to maintain a fair and healthy market competition order. Through the joint efforts of all parties, the proportion of electronic voucher payments for accounts payable in the automotive industry has significantly decreased, and the prices of mainstream photovoltaic modules in China have stabilized. In response to the problem of difficult payment collection for small and medium-sized enterprises, relevant special documents have been issued to accelerate the clearance of overdue corporate accounts, promote standardized payment terms, smooth fund circulation, and effectively reduce the burden on enterprises.

Currently, the operation of the industrial economy still faces risks and challenges such as insufficient demand and an increase in external uncertain and unpredictable factors. Tao Qing, Director of the Operations Monitoring and Coordination Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that in the next stage, efforts will be made to expand effective demand, create innovation engines, cultivate growth momentum, and optimize the development environment. The annual goals of the new round of stable growth work plan for the top ten key industries will be achieved, and the construction of the new generation communication network and computing power network will be accelerated to support export enterprises in strengthening brand building and increasing product added value; Implement a new round of action plan for high-quality development of key manufacturing industry chains, and recognize a new batch of specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative products; Little Giant; Enterprises and provincial-level innovative industrial clusters; Deepening Progress; Artificial Intelligence+Manufacturing; Take action to cultivate a new batch of national green factories, green industrial parks, and green supply chains, implement the second batch of 10 gigabit optical network pilot projects, and accelerate the development of; Computing Supermarket” Construction; Improve the monitoring and early warning mechanisms for photovoltaic and new energy storage production capacity, issue guidelines for the construction of key industry standard systems, promote industrial upgrading through standard upgrading, and accelerate efforts to clear overdue corporate accounts.

Wang Weiming stated that in the next step, we will promote the improvement and efficiency of existing policies, accelerate the implementation of incremental policies, accelerate the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, focus on cultivating new driving forces, promote the continuous development of the industrial and information economy towards a new and better direction, strive to achieve the annual target, and ensure that; Fifteen Five Year Plan; Start a good game and take a good step.
