Cctv news In order to promote the digital transformation of the whole manufacturing chain in Guangdong Province, a seminar was held in Guangzhou recently, which was undertaken by Guangzhou Greater Bay Area Institute of Modern Industrial Development (hereinafter referred to as the "Institute"), a key project of cooperation between the China Academy of Engineering and the local government. Tong Qingxi, a senior researcher and head of the research group and academician of China Academy of Sciences, presided over the meeting.

At the meeting, it was decided that Cao Heping, vice chairman of China Economic Reform Research Foundation, senior researcher of the Institute and professor of Peking University Institute of Economics, would be the executive head of the research group, while Sun Yanming, vice president of Guangzhou University, and Cao Changlin, executive dean of the Institute, would be the deputy heads of the research group. Wang Jinnian, academician of the International Academy of Astronautics and professor of Guangzhou University, Ms. Zhong Kezhi, deputy of Guangdong Provincial People’s Congress and executive director of the Institute, Dr. Zhang Zhiqiang, distinguished member of Guangdong Provincial Political Consultative Conference and executive director of the Strategy Committee of the Institute, Zhong Xudong and Li Yutian, vice presidents of the Institute, and members of relevant project teams such as South China University of Technology and Guangzhou University attended the seminar.

Professor Cao Heping.
Cao Heping, the executive director of the research group and professor of Peking University, explained the proposed policy advice on the current situation, existing problems and development situation of Guangdong manufacturing industry, benchmarking examples at home and abroad and ideal transformation and upgrading model. He said that Guangdong must pay close attention to the key direction and entry point path of the full-chain digital transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry, and promote the open source working mechanism of manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong Province and the construction of intermediate products market of digital manufacturers through the ecological construction diagram of the development of core enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises in the full-chain digital transformation of manufacturing industry, and explore a pioneering demonstration road for the high-quality development of manufacturing industry in Guangdong Province.

Professor Sun Yanming
Professor Sun Yanming, deputy head of the research group and vice president of Guangzhou University, said that the digital economy is becoming a key force to reorganize global factor resources, reshape the global economic structure and change the global competition pattern. Guangdong has established a relatively complete industrial system, and the brand-new transformation of the industrial chain through digitalization is expected to push the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry to a new level. The strategic research of this topic will play a leading and supporting role in Guangdong manufacturing industry.

Cao Changlin, Executive Dean of the Institute
Cao Changlin, deputy head of the research group and executive dean of the research institute, said that the manufacturing industry has made Guangdong’s economy "resilient", and Guangdong is also guided by the digital transformation of manufacturing industry, and continues to promote the integration and development of digital economy and real economy. He believes that many small and medium-sized enterprises in Guangdong are recreating their advantages on their own tracks, but there are still many shortcomings in terms of independent innovation capability, resource utilization efficiency, industrial structure level, informationization level, quality and efficiency. Based on the research, the Institute will serve as a high-end think tank platform to empower small and medium-sized enterprises, promote the transformation of comparative advantage into competitive advantage, and accelerate the digital transformation and upgrading.

Academician Tong Qingxi
Academician Tong Qingxi pointed out that Guangdong is a big manufacturing province, with a modern industrial system with relatively complete categories and complete supporting facilities, but at the same time, it faces big but not prominent problems. "This time, we took the topic as an opportunity to sort out the mode of digital transformation of Guangdong manufacturing industry and create ‘ Guangdong sample ’ , so that more manufacturing industries can ‘ Draw a gourd ladle ’ Actively embrace the wave of digital industrialization and industrial digitalization. "

According to reports, academicians You Zheng and Dong Shaoming of China Academy of Engineering, Wu Lun of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences and Wang Jinnian of the International Academy of Astronautics are members of the advisory group of key projects. The research group will compile the results of group work report, comprehensive report, research report, literature archives, interim report and general report, publish monographs, hold academic work meetings regularly, write research briefs for academic promotion, and propose policy suggestions and major proposals.
