National strategy behind the layout of strategic emerging industries

After the State Council issued a major strategy for accelerating the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries, from the central ministries and commissions to specific enterprises, they have turned their attention to the seven major industrial sectors that may determine the future direction of China's economy. Constantly emerging new concepts, constantly promulgated new policies, huge investments in planning... Will the new wave of development set off by strategic emerging industries become the new growth pole of China’s economy in the future, and become the ongoing Shenzhen China International High-tech The focus of people's most attention at the technological achievement fair.

1.National strategy behind the industrial layout

The 12th China International Hi-Tech Fair held in Shenzhen is becoming a grand parade of strategic emerging industries. The National Development and Reform Commission set up a special pavilion at this year's high-tech fair with the theme of "vigorously cultivate and develop strategic emerging industries." Industry's high-end products and the latest technology;The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology set up the "Industrial Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization Special Pavilion" to showcase the outstanding achievements and highlights in the fields of energy conservation and emission reduction, clean production, environmental protection, and comprehensive utilization of resources in the field of industry and communications; And most of the exhibition projects of major professional exhibitions are also concentrated in the field of strategic emerging industries...

Peng Sen, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the Strategic Emerging Industry Forum held during the exhibition, “In the process of global economic integration, the development of strategic emerging industries is the beginning of seizing the commanding heights of a new round of international economic development competition, and is the future. Can participate in the foundation of international economic and technological cooperation."

Achieving a breakthrough in a new round of economic development in the field of emerging technologies has now become a common strategic goal of major countries around the world. In the United States, the government has decided to invest 150 billion U.S. dollars in the next 10 years, focusing on the development of new energy industries, broadband networks and bioengineering industries, maintaining the leading position in the aviation industry, accelerating the development of electric vehicles, and actively cultivating nanotechnology. The EU plans to do so in 2013. A year ago, 105 billion euros were invested in the development of a green economy; Japan will focus on the development of its two main businesses, environment, energy, and health, and by 2020, it will create 10 trillion yen in new assets.

In my country, a series of industrial support policies are equally eye-catching. Huge subsidies for new energy vehicles, the "Golden Sun Project" and "Solar Roof Project" with a total estimated subsidy of over 10 billion yuan, the planned tens of millions of kilowatt-level wind power bases, and the grand blueprint for the construction of 28 more nuclear power plants in 2020..." Our country needs to accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries to generate a number of new economic growth points to meet the needs of economic and social development." Peng Sen said. According to the "three-step" plan for cultivating and developing strategic emerging industries proposed by the National Development and Reform Commission, by 2015, China's strategic emerging industries will account for about 8% of GDP; by 2020, Its value-added accounted for the proportion of GDP will strive to reach about 15%. Behind the strategic emerging industry layout, new economic growth poles are gradually taking shape in unprecedented scale of investment and technological innovation and transformation.

The layout of emerging industries that has risen to a national strategy has opened up a blueprint for economic development with bright prospects. However, behind a specific support policy, the unbroken institutional deadlock still proposes the sustainable and healthy development of strategic emerging industries. challenge. As a strategic emerging industry company participating in the exhibition, Fei Zhong, the president and general manager of GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Co., Ltd., one of the largest photovoltaic companies in China, said in an interview with reporters that the photovoltaic industry is a policy-oriented industry that parallels the market. To some extent, the policy-oriented drive will be even greater. The overall direction of my country's policy subsidies is very good, but there is also the problem of inconsistency in various local policies on the issue of photovoltaic power generation grid connection.

In fact, the Chinese government does not have a lot of money to support strategic emerging industries, and there are a lot of various special funds, but the question of how to use the money and how to use it has always faced institutional obstacles. "It is harmful and unhelpful to directly support enterprises to make competitive subsidies; when special subsidies are made, they do not conduct open bidding and directly subsidize their own enterprises. The so-called so-called fertile water does not flow to outsiders' land. This method costs money. Many may not achieve the expected results." said Wu Jinglian, a well-known economist and researcher at the Development Research Center of the State Council.

In addition, some deeper problems have gradually been exposed in the development of strategic emerging industries. "Since the beginning of this year, there have been some signs of developing strategic emerging industries, which should attract our attention. For example, the rush of herdization, some government agencies designate technological development routes, designate the types of industries to develop, and even directly determine Investment and so on." Wu Jinglian said that investing in strategic emerging industries with this understanding and method will reduce the efficiency of investment.

"In fact, as early as 1995, my country clearly proposed the transformation of the economic growth mode, including the development of emerging industries. The reason why the transformation has not been achieved so far is mainly because the existing institutional obstacles have not been eliminated." Wu Jinglian said. To remove institutional barriers and establish an environment conducive to innovation and creation, we must persist in reforms, accelerate the transformation of government functions, and provide a good public product and institutional environment for the development of enterprises.

2.Commercial absence after technological leadership

Cloud computing, Internet of Things, new energy...While domestic companies are racing to showcase their important achievements in the technical field, how to commercialize the technology as soon as possible to form profit and continuous innovation has become the focus of the participating companies and experts. Point. At the exhibition site, an Internet of Things company showed people a beautiful picture of future life with its advanced technology: a computer accurately and quickly controls the refrigerator, washing machine and even microwave oven at home. However, the biggest problem facing companies with this series of technologies is that they can't think of a business model that will bring the technology to the market and achieve profitability.
