CCTV News: From the popularity of the DeepSeek domestic big model around the world to the stunning appearance of humanoid robots in the Spring Festival Gala, from the first government work report written by "unicorns" and "gazelle enterprises" to the intensive introduction of new quality productivity development plans in various places, China is reconstructing the industrial competition pattern with technological breakthroughs and scenario innovation. Since the beginning of this year, all regions have been scrambling to seize the new track of industrial development, and industrial development has ushered in a golden period.
In Nanjing Hi-Tech Zone, Jiangsu, the reporter saw that a company that produces lidar is working at full capacity. Benefiting from the rapid development of my country's new energy industry and low-altitude economy, the production of a number of wind measurement lidars and intelligent monitoring equipment they developed and produced doubled in the first quarter of this year.
The company's head told reporters that the company is developing space three-dimensional detection equipment suitable for low-altitude economy, and related products have been built and put into use in many key cities.
Jiangsu is systematically laying out a new track through the "5 100" action, that is, 100 major cutting-edge technology research and development, 100 future science and technology innovation demonstration enterprises, 100 future industrial science and technology innovation parks, 100 cutting-edge technology application scenarios, and 100 future industrial standards and specifications.
Jiangsu Province recently issued the "Action Plan on Supporting and Promoting High-tech Zones to Accelerate the Development of New Quality Productivity", proposing that by 2027, the province's high-tech zones will open 20 leading domestic new tracks, cultivate 80 unicorn enterprises and 38,000 high-tech enterprises, and the output value of high-tech industries will account for 65%.
Continue to lead the western region and build a highland for the artificial intelligence industry
The eastern region accelerates the rapid implementation of new business formats, and the artificial intelligence industry in the western region of my country is also booming. In the first quarter, the growth rate of strategic emerging industries represented by artificial intelligence continued to lead, becoming a new quality productivity that is gradually cultivating and growing in the local area.
These days, in the production workshop of a robot company in Mianyang, Sichuan, technicians are debugging the humanoid robot that is about to be delivered.
As a national-level specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprise, this enterprise is engaged in research on core robot technologies, and the nuclear emergency response robots, intelligent verification systems, etc. developed have filled the domestic gap.
Since 2024, artificial intelligence has been included in Sichuan Province's "No. 1 Innovation Project". As an important industrial city during the "third-tier construction" period, Mianyang has strong scientific research strength and a solid industrial foundation. In recent years, the local government has taken advantage of the "east wind" to encourage the development of new quality productivity, vigorously promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of industries, and accelerate the layout of emerging industries represented by artificial intelligence.
In 2024, Mianyang signed 31 artificial intelligence industry projects with an investment of 25.52 billion yuan, and the total number of artificial intelligence companies exceeded 100.
The new track of my country's industrial digital technology accelerates fission and expansion
From the Yangtze River Delta to the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle, the rise of the new track marks that China is moving from "following" to "running side by side" and "leading" in the industrial economy. The latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that from January to February, my country's smart consumer equipment manufacturing industry increased by 125.5%. Strategic emerging industries represented by artificial intelligence, new energy, and high-end equipment grew rapidly, and new quality productivity accelerated its rise, becoming the core engine for stabilizing the economy and promoting transformation.
The new track is driven by technological breakthroughs as the core, and is an elite representative of the integration and fusion of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and the most active pioneering force in new quality productivity. In addition to "individual advancement" in some specific tracks, my country's overall new track development has gradually become a system, covering all aspects of the industrial field. The "China New Track System Development Report 2025" released recently shows that in 2025, my country's new track system has formed 6 major directions, 28 main tracks and 103 new tracks. Among them, fission and expansion of new tracks in the direction of industry, digital and technology are accelerating.
The development of the new track has received attention from major cities. Cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen are conducting differentiated competition around the "track business card". Hangzhou's "Six Little Dragons" enterprise cluster, Nanjing Future Network Testing Network, etc. have become regional innovation benchmarks. The gathering of governments, enterprises and investment institutions has made my country's new track generally show an explosive growth trend.
