In the era of digital economy, the development of future industries has become an important indicator for measuring a country's technological innovation and comprehensive strength. Vigorously developing future industries is a strategic choice to lead technological progress, drive industrial upgrading, and cultivate new quality productivity. In recent years, national level economic development zones have seized the opportunities of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, actively laid out the future industrial track, and opened up new spaces and ideas for industrial development. The future industry leads the development direction of emerging industries, injecting new vitality and momentum into accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Cultivating and developing future industries, actively utilizing digital technology to promote the intelligent and green development of manufacturing, is an inevitable requirement for promoting the deep integration of informatization and industrialization, as well as an important way to accelerate industrial transformation and upgrading and enhance the international competitiveness of manufacturing. Against the backdrop of increasing global economic uncertainty, China's economic development is facing severe challenges. Cultivating and developing future industries to open up new channels for economic growth is not only a strategic deployment to seize the opportunities of a new round of technological and industrial transformation and actively participate in global competition, but also an inevitable choice to accelerate the construction of a strong country in science and technology, manufacturing, and networking. Cultivating and developing future industries requires breaking through inertia thinking, transforming development ideas, innovating development models, and achieving coordinated and unified development speed, quality, and efficiency. For national level economic development zones, competing for the future industrial track requires systematic efforts in industrial technology policies, industrial organization policies, and industrial supporting policies. In terms of industrial technology policies, we support the fundamental innovation and application of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, computing algorithms, 6G, deep sea aerospace, synthetic materials, and low-carbon environmental protection. We vigorously promote the construction of public innovation platforms such as future industry research institutes and national industrial innovation centers, providing high-quality software and hardware support for various innovation entities, especially innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, and providing carriers for technological innovation. Fully tap into the needs of cutting-edge industry development, consumption upgrading, and refined urban governance, provide application scenarios for innovation and entrepreneurship in future industrial fields, and promote the transformation and implementation of technology research and development results through the combination of industry, academia, research, and application. In terms of industrial organization policies, we will vigorously promote the development of future industrial clusters, fully utilize the advantages of national level economic development zones and various functional zones, and create future industrial clusters according to local conditions. Reasonably layout the production research and development network and factor supply network, promote collaboration among large, medium, and small enterprises in the industrial chain, supply chain, and innovation chain, accelerate the formation of an integrated research and development mechanism from basic research to product development, shorten the innovation cycle, and improve the efficiency of innovation results transformation. In terms of industrial supporting policies, we aim to create a favorable business environment for future industrial development, attract domestic and foreign research and development resources, and provide convenient living and business conditions for high-level innovative talents. Encourage fiscal funds and financial capital to tilt towards future industries, establish future industry venture capital funds, provide more financing channels for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, and reduce financing costs.
