In the first week of the resumption of work during the Spring Festival in 2025, more than ten provinces across the country held the "first meeting of the New Year" one after another, and the starting guns for the economy and development of various places were sounded at the time of renewal of everything. By analyzing the deployment of meetings in various places, local high-quality development has shown three new trends.

Optimizing the business environment to anchor the "sense of gain" of enterprises

Compared with the traditional investment promotion model that focuses on tax reduction and land use discounts in the past, policy formulation in many places this year has shown distinct demand-side orientation characteristics.

Taking the latest 8.0 business environment version of Shanghai's plan as an example, "policy sensitivity" and "service visibility" have become core evaluation indicators, and the "policy intelligent matching system" and "free and enjoyable" services have been launched to ensure that policies that benefit enterprises are accurately reach market entities.

Guangdong has established a provincial private economy service bureau to fully support the development of the private economy; Liaoning aims to reduce the cost of business entities and improve efficiency, and continues to deepen reforms in areas such as "comprehensive window"...

The above measures reflect the fundamental change in service concept - a truly high-quality business environment requires the construction of a full-chain service system of "demand perception-policy supply-effect feedback" to enable enterprises to transform from policy bystanders to development partners.

Develop new quality productivity according to local conditions

Beijing emphasizes overcoming "bottleneck" technologies, promoting the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and proposes to accelerate the construction of a benchmark city for global digital economy and support the innovative development of new business forms and new models. At the same time, we will continue to increase support for strategic industries and establish a long-term investment mechanism around future industries.

Guangdong focuses on the two major areas of artificial intelligence and robots, and proposes to make great determination and concentrate efforts, strive to build new pillars of high-tech, high-growth and large-scale industries, and take multiple measures to build the foundation of the industry deeper, thicker and more solid.

Anhui proposed to strengthen the supply of high-quality science and technology, strive to be the first in seizing the commanding heights of science and technology, and blazing new ways in promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and continuously improve the ability to make scientific and technological innovation sources.

These practices show that local governments are transforming from traditional industrial managers to innovative ecosystem builders, and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productivity by building a platform for industry-university-research connection, and innovating the "technology investment" investment model.

Regional Development Reconstruction Element Allocation Logic

From the spatial layout, Jiangsu optimizes resource allocation through functional complementarity, cities represented by Taizhou promote cross-river integration and connects with Shanghai, and improves the overall regional competitiveness and coordinated development efficiency; Zhejiang breaks the barriers between urban and rural areas through the development model of "county town-central town-key village" and promotes the pioneering demonstration of common prosperity.

In terms of development factors, Shanghai took the lead in exploring cross-border data flow methods to enhance international competitiveness; Guangdong solved the problems of technology transformation through "demand-side policies" and comprehensively optimized and upgraded the industrial system. These breakthroughs mark new elements such as data and application scenarios, which are gradually replacing traditional elements and becoming new driving forces for economic development.

From the perspective of development momentum, various places have mentioned "new quality productivity" many times at the "First New Year Meeting", and their promotion paths include not only technological innovation, but also institutional innovation. For example, Zhejiang proposed to establish a legal cycle of "legislation-implementation-revision" to conduct in-depth research on the development needs of various industries, accurately formulate laws and regulations that fit the actual situation, and provide a solid foundation for the development of emerging industries.

In the year when the 14th Five-Year Plan ended and the planning of the 15th Five-Year Plan was planned, the "First Meeting of the New Year" was not only a declaration but also a marching plan. In this competition that depends on both speed and quality, what kind of answers will be delivered by various regions and their subsequent results are worthy of continuous attention and expectation.
