In this year's government work report, "Vigorously promoting the construction of a modern industrial system and accelerating the development of new quality productivity" ranked first in the government's work tasks in 2024. How do state-owned enterprises speed up the development of new quality productive forces? From the recent deployment statement of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the source of technology, industrial upgrading, and industrial ecology are the key direction of force.

The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council said at the special meeting to implement the spirit of the national two sessions that it will study more effective and effective measures to closely combine the development of new quality productivity with the main business, improve the accuracy of business performance assessment, mobilize the enthusiasm of enterprise leaders and scientific and technological talents and other key work to ensure the same direction and form a joint force. Many central enterprises have also revealed the layout of strategic emerging industries and future industries.

Liu Daoguang, a farmer in Hanai Town, Liangshan County, Jining City, Shandong province, has recently been beating herbicides for his home's 1200 acres of wheat. Unlike farmers around him, he can always accurately grasp weather changes and make reasonable plant protection plans, thanks to a digital agricultural system - MAP Smart Agriculture APP. At present, the online active user service area of "MAP Intelligent Agriculture" has exceeded 100 million mu.

"Accelerating the application of information and intelligent innovation results to agricultural production is an important focus for new quality productivity to lead the high-quality development of agriculture." Li Fanrong, chairman and Secretary of the Party Group of Sinochem, said that at present, digital agriculture has ushered in new development opportunities, and Sinochem will actively play the role of the main body of enterprise innovation, coordinate the mobilization of resources from all sides, and promote the transformation and upgrading of China's agriculture.

New quality productivity is an inherent requirement and an important focus for promoting high-quality development. At present, all parties are taking active actions, devising new strategies, making concrete moves and doing good deeds.

At the first "ministerial channel" of the Second session of the 14th National People's Congress, Zhang Yuzhuo, secretary of the Party Committee and director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, used the source of technology, industrial upgrading, and industrial ecology to summarize the key direction of the future state-owned central enterprises to accelerate the development of new quality productivity.

In recent years, central enterprises continue to increase investment in scientific and technological innovation, reaching 106.6 billion yuan in 2023, and domestic large aircraft, aviation engines, gas turbines and other achievements have accelerated.

Zhang Yuzhuo said that in the next step, central enterprises should continue to increase investment in research and development, strive to achieve more landmark achievements, and further increase basic research and applied basic research; It is necessary to adhere to open innovation, strengthen collaboration with innovation entities such as universities, research institutes and private enterprises, and actively integrate into the global innovation network.

In terms of industrial upgrading, state-owned enterprises on the one hand should use new technologies to promote the high-end, intelligent and green development of traditional industries; On the other hand, we must vigorously develop strategic emerging industries and layout and build future industries.

In 2023, the proportion of revenue from strategic emerging industries in the total revenue of central enterprises will increase by 3.23 percentage points. From the goal point of view, by 2025, the proportion of strategic emerging industry income of central enterprises should reach 35%.

It is understood that the current State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council is deeply implementing the industrial rejuvenation action and firmly promoting the future industry sailing action, and recently launched the "artificial intelligence +" action. According to the deployment, state-owned enterprises and central enterprises should strive to form a number of landmark achievements in key areas such as artificial intelligence, new energy, and new energy vehicles, and accelerate the construction of strategic emerging industrial clusters; Accelerate the cultivation of pioneering enterprises, leading enterprises and unicorn enterprises, and make breakthroughs in a number of key technologies and form a number of iconic products in the fields of brain-like intelligence, quantum information, deep earth and deep sea, and laser manufacturing; We will accelerate the construction of digital transformation trials and smart factories, and build more green and low-carbon demonstration projects.

Centering on the development of strategic emerging industries and promoting scientific and technological innovation, central enterprises have also defined their tasks and goals. For example, China National Building Materials Group will flexibly use endogenous growth, mergers and acquisitions, and capital operation in three ways to promote the development of strategic emerging industries. In terms of endogenous growth mode, relying on world-class research projects, the layout of wartime emergency response, extreme environment, high-end equipment, frontier fields, future industries and other urgently needed next-generation materials. In the way of mergers and acquisitions, the focus is on the four major areas of new energy, new materials, new energy vehicles, and semiconductors to find high-quality merger targets.

General Technology Group said that in 2024, it will accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries and future industrial layout, increase the layout of high-end CNC machine tools, new fiber materials, biopharmaceuticals, health industries, and high-end medical devices emerging industries, and enhance the systematic development ability.

It is worth noting that in the process of cultivating new quality productive forces, corresponding reforms should also be promoted in a timely manner to form a new type of production relations commensurate with it.

For example, originality, leading innovation investment, long cycle, strong uncertainty, need to explore the long cycle of assessment incentive measures. In this regard, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council has made it clear that enterprises that undertake more multi-functional missions can consider developing special assessment programs. The group companies should also improve the internal assessment system in accordance with the reality, and implement classified and accurate assessment of the sub-enterprises with heavy functional missions. For innovative enterprises and new industries, research should be conducted to improve the coverage and matching degree of medium - and long-term incentives.
