The C919 large passenger aircraft successfully completed its first commercial flight, the far-reaching sea floating wind power platform "Offshore Guanlan" was successfully connected to the grid, and the high-grade non-oriented silicon steel professional production line for the new energy automobile industry was completed and put into operation. In recent years, state-owned central enterprises have concentrated on accelerating the layout and development of strategic emerging industries, innovative achievements have been emerging, and a number of new growth engines have been accelerated.

Strategic emerging industries represent the direction of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and are key areas for the country to cultivate and develop new drivers and win new advantages in future competition.

As the "fresh force" of China's economic development, central enterprises are accelerating their layout in this field.

-- Capital investment grew faster. "As a state-owned capital operation company, we focus on playing a leading role in the industry and actively layout strategic emerging industries." As of the end of April this year, the 'Guoxin System' fund has invested nearly 220 strategic emerging industry projects with an investment of more than 98.5 billion yuan." The relevant person in charge of China New Holding limited liability company said.

China's new practice is a microcosm. Statistics show that in the past five years, the average annual investment growth rate of central enterprises in strategic emerging industries has exceeded 20%. Since the beginning of this year, the central enterprises have further clarified the main direction of expanding effective investment, and the investment in strategic emerging industries in the first quarter exceeded 230 billion yuan, an increase of more than 30%, accounting for about a quarter of the total investment.

From the perspective of the whole year, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council proposed to increase the layout of new generation information technology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, new energy, new materials, strengthen the layout of high-end manufacturing industries such as aerospace, rail transit, Marine engineering, and intelligent equipment, and strive to reach 13% of new investment in manufacturing by central enterprises in 2023. The proportion of strategic emerging industries will increase by more than 2 percentage points.

-- Focus on restructuring and integration. Focusing on improving industrial competitiveness, the reorganization and integration of central enterprises have pressed the "acceleration key" in recent years. At the end of March this year, the central enterprises specialized integration and re-launched efforts, involving clean power generation, ecological environmental protection and other fields of 11 groups of projects to carry out centralized signing.

The signing ceremony conveys an important message: SASAC will continue to promote the professional integration of central enterprises to go deep and solid, of which "highlighting the development of strategic emerging industries, focusing on enhancing the overall competitiveness of the industrial chain to carry out market-oriented mergers and acquisitions and restructuring, and strive to create a number of innovative state-owned enterprises" is one of the key tasks.

-- Promoting deeper integration of industrial and innovation chains. To accelerate the "iteration and innovation" of strategic emerging industries, we must deploy innovation chains around the industrial chain, and strengthen the effective support of scientific and technological self-reliance for the modern industrial system. In recent years, central enterprises have strengthened their dominant position in enterprise innovation, and continuously achieved new breakthroughs in key core technology research, scientific and technological input-output efficiency, and innovation system efficiency.

It is worth noting that state-owned central enterprises continue to carry out the construction of the modern industrial chain of central enterprises, select specialized enterprises for industrial chain construction in batches, and make targeted layout in key areas such as energy resources, electronic communications, and high-end equipment, further playing the role of the main support and integration of enterprises. "To carry out the construction of modern industrial chain and create the source of original technology as the starting point, state-owned enterprises are trying to open up the channel from strong science and technology to strong enterprise, strong industry and strong economy." Sasac responsible person said.

The achievements are encouraging, but at the same time, we should see that there are still many challenges for central enterprises to develop strategic emerging industries. In the next step, how do state-owned enterprises supplement the short board, forge the long board, strengthen the chain, and crack the problems faced in the development of strategic emerging industries?

Recently, SASAC on different occasions "revealed the plot" of the next step related work focus on the direction of force -

It is necessary to continuously make new substantive breakthroughs in the optimization of industrial distribution. At the Central enterprises to accelerate the development of strategic emerging industry deployment meeting held on May 24, the SASAC required the central enterprises to adhere to a more focused strategy, a more flexible approach, a more open vision, timely grasp the industrial evolution and development of new formats and new models, create world-class products, services and brands, and accelerate the cultivation of enterprises that master the core resources and key technologies of the industry. Form a systematic layout as soon as possible.

We will continue to make substantial breakthroughs in key and core technologies. On May 31, SASAC held a working meeting with the National Natural Science Foundation of China. Zhang Yuzhuo, director of SASAC, said at the meeting that it is hoped that the two sides will further increase practical cooperation, jointly establish research and development funds, focus on strategic emerging industries, and promote the whole chain innovation from basic research to industrialization.

More than a month ago, the unveiling ceremony of the China Industrial Basic Capability Development Strategy Research Institute jointly built by SASAC and the Chinese Academy of Engineering was held in Beijing. "It is hoped that the Industrial Institute will carry out forward-looking, targeted and reserve policy research, focus on strategic emerging industries and future industries, deepen cooperation with state-owned enterprises, and accelerate the construction of an industrial system with new competitive advantages." Zhao Shitang, deputy director of SASAC, said at the unveiling ceremony.

In addition, the SASAC requires the central enterprises to create a good industrial ecology of open cooperation, deepen cooperation with enterprises of all kinds of ownership at home and abroad, build a number of world-class strategic emerging industrial clusters, and released the "will actively study and introduce a package of policies to support the development of strategic emerging industries of central enterprises".

"To accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries, we need to firmly seize policy opportunities and keep up with organizational support." Industry insiders believe that in the face of new trends and new requirements of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change, central enterprises to speed up the development of strategic emerging industries, create innovation-led modern industrial clusters, still need to strengthen the top-level design, play a good investment and financing, selection of people, model innovation and other reforms "combination".
