"We must profoundly understand the mission and tasks of state-owned central enterprises in the new era and new journey, go all out to develop strategic emerging industries, effectively improve the core competitiveness of enterprises, enhance core functions, actively serve major national strategies, and effectively play a good role in building a modern industrial system and building a new development pattern. Scientific and technological innovation, industrial control, and security support." Zhang Yuzhuo, secretary and director of the Party Committee of the State Council State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and leader of the special work leading group for accelerating the development of strategic emerging industries by central enterprises, said at the meeting of the central enterprises recently.
Strategic emerging industries represent the direction of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and are also the key areas for the country to cultivate and develop new kinetic energy and win new competitive advantages in the future.
In recent years, central enterprises have continuously increased the layout of emerging industries. The Report on High-quality Development of Central Enterprises (2022) shows that central enterprises play the role of structural adjustment funds of state-owned enterprises and continue to increase investment in emerging industries. The investment amount has increased from 690 billion yuan in 2017 to 1.3 trillion yuan in 2021, with an average annual growth rate of over 20%. The investment in new-generation information technology, new energy, high-end equipment manufacturing and other fields accounts for 80% of all strategic emerging industry investments. More than 700 subsidiaries of nearly 70 central enterprises have increased their layout in the field of new infrastructure, with an investment of over 400 billion yuan in 2021.
In addition, the construction of a collaborative development platform has been accelerated. State-owned central enterprises promote the construction of a number of digital innovation platforms such as new energy vehicles, Beidou, e-commerce, blockchain, create collaborative innovation platforms such as logistics big data and offshore equipment, create an independent and controllable Tianyiyun, and give play to the leading role of the industry.
While seeing the achievements, we should also be soberly aware that from the current situation, the revenue ratio of forward-looking strategic emerging industries of state-owned enterprises is still not high, which is not commensurate with the responsible position of state-owned enterprises. On May 15th, the on-site promotion meeting of "Science and Technology Reform Action" held by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council released a heavy signal: making greater efforts to build forward-looking strategic emerging industries, which became the highlight of the next step of "Science and Technology Reform Action".
Many science and technology reform enterprises are in strategic emerging industries. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) requires that the future development direction of technology should be anchored, the integration mechanism of innovative resources should be established and improved, the professional integration and integrated allocation of industrial resources and scientific research resources should be intensified, the needs of the country, the trend of the industry and the capabilities of enterprises should be coordinated, and new industrial tracks should be actively opened up to enhance the leading role of the industry.
Less than 10 days later, the State Council SASAC convened a deployment meeting for central enterprises to accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries. The meeting emphasized that the central enterprises should make new substantive breakthroughs in optimizing the industrial layout, adhere to a more focused strategy, a more flexible approach and a more open vision, grasp the new format and new mode of industrial evolution and development in time, build world-class products, services and brands, speed up the cultivation of "specialized and innovative" and "single champion" enterprises, and form a systematic layout as soon as possible.
The meeting stressed that it is necessary to continuously make new substantive breakthroughs in key core technologies, strengthen the dominant position of enterprise innovation, deploy innovation chain around the industrial chain, improve the efficiency of science and technology input and output, increase investment in original and leading technology research and development, and build a practical-oriented scientific and technological innovation work system to promote the optimization and improvement of innovation results and iterative upgrading; It is necessary to continuously make new substantive breakthroughs in the formation of a good industrial ecology, create a good industrial ecology of open cooperation, deepen cooperation with enterprises of various ownership at home and abroad, optimize the industrial cooperation mode, and build a number of world-class strategic emerging industrial clusters; It is necessary to continuously make new substantive breakthroughs in improving the system and mechanism to stimulate talents’ innovation and creativity, explore more flexible and efficient market mechanisms, management systems and inclusive mechanisms, and further stimulate enterprises’ innovation and creativity.
The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council also proposed to actively study and introduce a package of policies to support the development of strategic emerging industries of central enterprises, strengthen communication and coordination with relevant departments, and create a favorable environment for industrial development. Central enterprises should strengthen their leadership and put their responsibilities in place, and solidly promote the development of strategic emerging industries.
