Loudi, Hunan: Moving towards "new" and pursuing "quality"

During the National two sessions, "new quality productivity" has become a "hot word" and a hot topic among deputies, committee members and people from all walks of life. "vigorously promoting the construction of a modern industrial system and speeding up the development of new quality productive forces" is listed as the first of the top ten tasks in the government work report in 2024.

To develop new quality productive forces, it is essential to adjust measures to local conditions.

As a concrete form of advanced productive forces, new quality productive forces are the fundamental achievements produced by the cross-integration and breakthrough of scientific and technological innovation. The development of new-quality productive forces is inseparable from scientific working methods, and we can only seek truth from facts to understand local advantages and weaknesses, and persist in proceeding from reality and accurately grasping laws according to local resource endowments, industrial foundation, and scientific research conditions. apply the law scientifically, establish first and then break down, adjust measures to local conditions, classified guidance, and selectively promote the development of new industries, new models, and new dynamic energy.

During the two sessions, Zeng Chaoqun, deputy to the National people's Congress and deputy secretary of the Loudi Municipal CPC Committee and mayor of Loudi City, Hunan Province, said in an interview with reporters that Loudi should be based on resource endowments and industrial foundation, find a correct position in the province's "4 × 4" modern industrial system, speed up the transformation and upgrading of traditional iron and steel industries, and strive to find a road of high-quality development with Loudi characteristics.

Loudi is an old industrial city. In recent years, traditional industries are facing downward pressure. How to rush on the new track of developing "new quality productive forces"? Loudi insists on adjusting measures to local conditions and actively practices the strategic orientation and mission of "three high and four new". Take the construction of the "material Valley" in the central region as the city's "No.1 Project", take the industrial park as the main battlefield, and firmly seize the opportunity to upgrade the industrial structure of Lianyuan Iron and Steel Co. We will strive to extend the iron and steel industry chain, promote the upgrading of iron and steel to automotive plates, high-strength steel and silicon steel, and develop new quality productive forces.

In 2023, the total output of Loudi silicon steel reached 1.3 million tons, ranking fourth among the major cities in the country. technically, it has been able to stably produce 0.18mm high magnetic induction oriented silicon steel and magnetic domain refined high magnetic induction oriented silicon steel, which has laid the foundation for the development of the "three appliances" industry of motors, transformers and small household appliances and promoting the iron and steel industry to continue to upgrade to the middle and high end.

Scientific and technological innovation is the core for the development of new quality productive forces

Only by making new breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation can we drive the continuous improvement of productive forces. Enterprises are the main force to promote innovation and creation, and the development of new quality productive forces is inseparable from the strong support of enterprise scientific and technological innovation. Loudi strengthens the dominant position of enterprises, increases incentives for innovation, encourages enterprises to increase investment in basic research, increases the transformation from "scientific and technological power" and "productive forces", and constantly improves the competitiveness of traditional industries through scientific and technological innovation. consolidate the foundation for the development of new-quality productive forces.

In recent years, Loudi has carried out key core technologies and tackled major scientific and technological projects in advanced iron and steel materials, advanced electronic ceramics, advanced composite materials and other advantageous areas. Innovation drivers have significantly accelerated, increasing the number of scientific and technological innovation platforms above the provincial level to 155, national platforms to 14, and new high-tech enterprises. Cultivate 4 national-level special new "little giant" enterprises, 74 provincial-level special new small and medium-sized enterprises, and 13 individual champion enterprises, bringing together a strong driving force for innovation.

To promote industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation, it is necessary to actively explore new paths and new models, constantly make new breakthroughs in core technologies, master more core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, and control the initiative and dominance in the high-quality development of the industry. we will promote the incubation and transformation of scientific and technological achievements locally.

In order to promote the development of advanced structural materials industry clusters, Loudi innovatively set up special funds to increase the rewards and subsidies to national high-tech enterprises. Support major projects in industrial clusters, and reward and subsidize newly approved national, provincial and municipal R & D platforms and innovative entrepreneurial service platforms, as well as enterprises (units) that are included in the training objects of national R & D platforms. We will introduce "some measures for strengthening intellectual property Protection", set up special funds for intellectual property strategy promotion, actively promote the innovation and exploration of intellectual property pledge financing models and service upgrading, explore the establishment of intellectual property operation funds for key industries, intellectual property pledge financing risk compensation funds, and improve the intellectual property protection system.

On December 26, 2023, Loudi Semiconductor display New Materials Industry Park Science and Technology Innovation Center and flat Panel display Technology and equipment National Engineering Laboratory Loudi Branch opening ceremony was held. The construction of the Science and Technology Innovation Center will strive to solve a variety of "sticking neck" problems in the semiconductor display field, gather talents in Loudi, attract talents, invigorate Loudi with science and technology, and help Loudi to make a rush on the new track of "speeding up the development of new quality productive forces."

Physical industry is the support for the development of new quality productive forces.

The new quality productivity is the productivity based on scientific and technological innovation, and it is a new type of productivity that gets rid of the traditional growth path and meets the requirements of high-quality development. Loudi promotes the rapid accumulation of all kinds of advanced and high-quality production factors with scientific and technological innovation as the core to the new material industry, speeds up the formation of material industry clusters and regional rational distribution with leading enterprises as the main body, and creates a new situation for the high-quality development of new materials.

February 19, Loudi City held the first batch of major projects in 2024 concentrated start-up ceremony. 94 major projects in the city were concentrated and put into production, with a total investment of 55.332 billion yuan, of which 68 "material Valley" industrial projects were started and put into production, with a total investment of 42.873 billion yuan, becoming the "absolute protagonist". The newly started UHD shows that the new material project (Phase II) and Hunan Titanium material Industry Park project (Phase I) are particularly eye-catching.

Super clear shows that the total investment of the new material project is 12 billion yuan, and the annual sales income is expected to be about 4.95 billion yuan after reaching production. The MLED display module project built in the first phase of the project has been completed and put into production. As a new generation of display technology, MLED display chip has the characteristics of low power consumption and high display. It is located in the upper reaches of the industrial chain, high technical barriers and strong radiation driving ability. The newly started Hunan Titanium material Industrial Park project (Phase I) will play a positive role in the construction of a modern industrial system in Loudi. As an important material to support the progress of cutting-edge science and technology, titanium alloy is widely used in aviation, aerospace, chemical industry, petroleum, power, medical, construction, sporting goods and other fields.

In 2023, Loudi has gathered 473 enterprises in the "material Valley" regulation, forming a full-process silicon steel production capacity of 3 million tons of different grades. According to Loudi Customs statistics, Loudi exported 487100 tons of steel in 2023, an increase of 88.8% over the same period last year. The ten emerging superior industrial chains dominated by new iron and steel materials and construction machinery have developed in coordination, with a business income of 190 billion yuan. It has built the largest production base of high strength steel in Asia, the largest advanced automobile plate production base in China, the intelligent manufacturing base of hydraulic cylinder, the production base of high strength fasteners and the production base of road roller.

To predict the future well is to create it. The government work report points out that in 2024, we should give full play to the leading role of innovation, promote industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation, accelerate new industrialization, improve total factor productivity, constantly shape new dynamic energy and new advantages for development, and promote a new leap in social productive forces. The regulations on promoting the Development of Advanced Materials Industry in Loudi, which was formally implemented on February 1, 2024, adheres to the guidance of characteristics and innovation, and promotes the development of advanced materials industry by co-ordinating the layout of advanced materials industry and strengthening scientific and technological innovation. in order to speed up the creation of "central region" material valley, realize the beautiful blueprint of "three high and four new", live to "new" and follow "quality".
