The 2026 government work report proposes to "intensify the cultivation and strengthening of new driving forces", which has become a hot topic in society. From optimizing and enhancing traditional industries, cultivating and strengthening emerging and future industries, to expanding capacity and improving service industries, and creating new forms of intelligent economy, a series of new proposals and deployments in the government work report outline the path to cultivate new driving forces towards the "new" direction. How to help cultivate and strengthen new driving forces? During the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, representatives and committee members actively provided suggestions and advice, and the industry continued to deepen its track based on industry practice. With the joint efforts of multiple parties, the "new" lever for cultivating new momentum became increasingly powerful. Building a solid foundation - revitalizing traditional industries. The real economy is the foundation for development, and traditional industries are the fundamental foundation of the real economy. The government work report proposed that "200 billion yuan of ultra long term special treasury bond funds will be allocated to support large-scale equipment upgrading" and "inclusive" cloud based intelligence "services will be implemented". These new deployments inject strong impetus into the upgrading and upgrading of traditional industries, and steadily promote the development of "old trees sprouting new shoots". Academician Peng Shou, a National People's Congress representative and Chief Scientist of China National Building Materials Group, stated that we need to leverage the advantages of a complete industrial system, deeply promote the "cloud based, data-driven, and intelligent" development of industries, expand intelligent manufacturing through full process digital integration, empower the development of intelligent construction through full cycle AI, comprehensively enhance the level of advanced industrial foundation and modernization of industrial chains, and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system with advanced manufacturing as the backbone. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and eight other departments issued the "Implementation Opinions on the Special Action of 'Artificial Intelligence+Manufacturing'" to accelerate the integration and application of artificial intelligence technology in the manufacturing industry. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry was solidly promoted last year, with a total of more than 35000 basic level, 8200 advanced level, and 500 excellent level intelligent factories built, and 15 leading level intelligent factories cultivated. The transformation of traditional industries from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing" cannot be separated from technological breakthroughs and digital empowerment. The government work report proposes to expand intelligent manufacturing and build a new batch of smart factories and smart supply chains. Build a standard system for industrial grade embodied intelligent robots and accelerate the large-scale implementation of robot factories. ”This year, Zhou Yunjie, a National People's Congress representative, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and CEO of Haier Group, put forward suggestions to accelerate the development of embodied intelligence and empower industrial intelligence based on the company's own development practice. As a deep integration direction of artificial intelligence and robotics technology, embodied intelligence has strategic significance in promoting the intelligent upgrading of manufacturing industry and cultivating new quality productivity. Can we create a universal industrial AI that is suitable for multiple scenarios and has certain generalization ability? Chu Jian, founder of the central control, said: It's completely possible! The government work report proposes to 'deepen and expand' artificial intelligence+', which will accelerate the integration of AI and manufacturing industry. He said that the central control technology has successfully utilized AI to assist customers in ensuring safety, improving quality, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, energy conservation and emission reduction. The core industrial AI product solutions have entered a new stage of large-scale commercial use. Activating Incremental - Expanding the Industrial Track. Emerging and future industries are important growth poles for developing new quality productivity. To cultivate new driving forces, we need to not only improve the quality of traditional industries, but also expand emerging industries and sprout future industries. The government work report specifically proposes to cultivate and strengthen emerging and future industries, such as integrated circuits, aerospace, biomedicine, and low altitude economy, and to cultivate and develop future industries such as energy, quantum technology, embodied intelligence, brain computer interfaces, and 6G. In the future industrial layout, "future energy" is included for the first time in the government work report. When it comes to cultivating and developing future energy, Academician Chen Jun, a National People's Congress representative and Executive Vice President of Nankai University, believes that future energy has rich connotations, including new energy storage, hydrogen energy, biomass energy, nuclear fusion energy, space-based solar energy, etc. It is developing towards renewable, clean, efficient, large-scale, low-cost and other directions, which will promote the upgrading of the energy system. When it comes to the development of brain computer interfaces, Ming Dong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice President of Tianjin University, and Director of the Haihe Laboratory for Brain Computer Interaction and Human Computer Integration, said that with the rapid expansion and landing of application scenarios, brain computer interfaces are expected to bring practical help to patients in many medical fields. With good technology and scenarios, coupled with good policies, the future development prospects of the brain computer interface industry are promising. Let's look forward to the emergence of important scenarios for the landing and application of brain computer interface technology this year. The low altitude economy, which has been included in the government work report for three consecutive years, is poised to take off, from drone delivery, air tourism to the research and development of electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (eVTOL). According to the prediction of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the market size of China's low altitude economy is expected to exceed 3.5 trillion yuan by 2035, with broad growth potential in the future. The report released by CCID Research Institute shows that the low altitude economy will enter a critical stage of large-scale development this year, based on the trend of both quantity and quality improvement last year. Zhu Junyu, Director of the Industrial Policy Research Institute at CCID Research Institute, analyzed that this year, with the refinement of airspace management, the acceleration of infrastructure networking, and the continuous breakthroughs in core technologies and deep integration of application scenarios, the modernization level of the low altitude economy industry chain will be significantly improved, and it will develop rapidly as a strategic emerging industry cluster. Empowering industries - the cultivation of new driving forces for "innovation" in service systems cannot be separated from the support of modern service industries. The government work report proposes to expand capacity and improve the quality of the service industry. According to Hong Yong, a think tank expert at the China Digital Reality Integration 50 Forum, more and more manufacturing companies are accelerating their transformation towards "manufacturing+services", breaking away from the traditional model of single product production and turning to providing customers with integrated services such as research and development design, customized production, operation and maintenance management, and supply chain optimization, shifting from "selling products" to "selling services". This trend is a vivid reflection of the deployment of the pilot program for deepening the integration of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries in the industrial landing, as stated in the government work report. Compared to the productive service industry, the high-quality development of the life service industry will benefit people's lives. According to data from 58.com, after the Spring Festival, the demand for domestic service orders has doubled compared to the same period in January, with a year-on-year increase of 36%. Yao Jinbo, a National People's Congress representative and Chairman and CEO of 58.com, suggested accelerating the shift of domestic services from "supplementary demand" to "basic livelihood services". He said that 58.com has established training courses covering four core areas: parenting, maternal and child care, household chores, and elderly care, and has built a professional home service support system. The new concept of "cultivating the 'China Service' brand" in the government work report has made industry insiders full of expectations for stimulating the vitality of the service industry market. Li Jun, Director of the Institute of International Trade in Services at the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, believes that the current scale of China's service industry is huge, but its international competitiveness and brand premium ability are insufficient, and it has not yet formed a national brand and strength like "Made in China". By building a service industry standard system with international influence, we can promote the standardization, branding, and internationalization of the service industry, making "Chinese services" synonymous with standardization, efficiency, and quality, thereby enhancing the global competitiveness of Chinese services. There is a consensus in the industry that the improvement and upgrading of the service industry will provide comprehensive and multi-level service guarantees for the development of the real economy. The government work report on building a new engine - shaping a new intelligent economy clearly proposes to "create a new form of intelligent economy" and "cultivate intelligent native new business models". "Smart economy", "smart native", "5G+industrial Internet" and other new words have become hot words in the market. Chen Changsheng, a member of the drafting team of the government work report and deputy director of the State Council Research Office, introduced that "this year, for the first time, it is proposed to create a new form of intelligent economy. This is a brand new concept, which is actually to seize the opportunity of artificial intelligence development, expand the breadth and depth of artificial intelligence empowerment for thousands of industries, open up new space for economic growth as soon as possible, cultivate new models, and strengthen new driving forces." "Deploying the" Artificial Intelligence+"action and intelligent economy construction tasks has pointed out a clear development direction for the autonomous driving and unmanned vehicle industries. ”In the view of Yu Enyuan, the founder of Neolithic unmanned vehicles, Neolithic unmanned vehicles are committed to reshaping the logistics chain and reducing logistics costs for the whole society. They are representative intelligent terminals for "artificial intelligence+" landing urban services, and also a vivid practice of new quality productivity in the field of logistics distribution. From 'performance' to 'practicality', embodied intelligence is advancing towards the trillion dollar track. Qinglang Intelligence, which has been deeply involved in the robotics industry for 16 years, has deployed over 100000 robots and its business covers more than 60 countries and regions worldwide. Qinglang will closely follow the national strategy, promote large-scale implementation through 'robot localization', adhere to independent innovation, increase core technology research and development, and promote the universal application of robots with more efficient, stable, and safe solutions, "said Li Tong, founder and CEO of Qinglang Intelligence. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by 2025, the scale of China's core artificial intelligence industry will exceed 1.2 trillion yuan, and the number of enterprises will exceed 6200. Zhou Hongyi, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and founder of 360 Group, believes that China's artificial intelligence industry is gradually forming a "six force model" of coordinated promotion of "electricity computing power intelligence human resources security force productivity", laying a solid foundation for the implementation of the "AI+" action. Against the backdrop of rapid development in the AI industry, how can AI better serve the real economy? Cao Peng, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of the Technical Committee of JD Group, believes that it is necessary to activate the efficiency of the AI industry, consolidate the cornerstone of the development of new quality productivity, and promote the transformation of the AI industry from scale expansion to efficiency improvement, from application leadership to system leadership. "We will work with all sectors of the industry to jointly create an upgraded version of the '5G+Industrial Internet' with the important feature of AI integration and empowerment, and continue to help the manufacturing industry to become new, better, smarter and greener. ”Tian Tian, vice president of the China Industrial Internet Research Institute, said that he would, in accordance with the deployment requirements of the government's work report, accelerate the integration and empowerment of industrial Internet and artificial intelligence, sort out a number of AI application scenario maps by industry, consolidate industrial data foundation building action, create a number of industry level high-quality industrial data sets in an application led and scenario driven manner, and develop a number of scene oriented characteristic agents. From top-level design to industrial practice, from the digital transformation of traditional industries to the forward-looking layout of emerging future industries, from the integration and empowerment of the service industry to the core leadership of the intelligent economy, multi-dimensional and multi-level "new" approaches are driving the accelerated development of new quality productivity and making the foundation of the modern industrial system more solid.
