Industrial development is rushing towards "new"

A chip the size of a coin, such as the "Fiery Eye and Golden Eye", can achieve a long and precise detection range. But its cost is only 1% of that of traditional short-wave infrared imaging technology.

Recently, a series of colloidal quantum dot imaging chips developed by the Hubei Optics Valley Laboratory in Wuhan and the scientific research team of Huazhong University of Science and Technology have achieved short-wave infrared imaging. Pilot trials have been completed, with excellent performance and extremely low cost, and are expected to subvert the traditional market.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that scientific and technological innovation must lead industrial innovation and actively cultivate and develop new productive forces.

Wuhan, Hubei Province has been approved to build 1 national laboratory and 21 national key laboratories, and 10 large scientific devices are in use and under construction. The world's first intelligent remote sensing scientific experimental satellite and the world's first integrated communication, guidance and remote sensing have emerged. With major original achievements such as Beidou chips, Wuhan has also ranked among the top ten scientific research cities in the world for the first time. In 2023, the transaction volume of technology contracts in Wuhan City will reach 219.8 billion yuan, an increase of 62.2%, ranking third among sub-provincial cities. Wuhan's role in the national innovation landscape has become increasingly prominent.

On March 13, the production ceremony of Yiwei Lithium-Energy V Cylindrical Battery was held in Jingmen, Hubei. All 18 production lines built this time have successfully reached production capacity, which will meet the needs of various domestic and foreign market segments for cylindrical battery production capacity and performance.

Walking in Jingmen High-tech Zone, upstream and downstream lithium battery companies are next to each other. Yiwei's lithium-energy primary battery sales have ranked first in the world for seven consecutive years, and power energy storage batteries have ranked among the best in the market; Gemma's power battery ternary precursor materials account for 15% of the global market share, and its high-end products ultra-high nickel ternary precursor materials Sales rank first in the world.

Jingmen has built the largest power battery full life cycle industrial chain in Central China, with a production capacity of 212GWH, ranking among the top three characteristic cities in the country's lithium battery industry. This year, Jingmen will build a Yiwei super factory and standard factory with a total investment of 20 billion yuan, promoting the output value of Yiwei Power to reach 50 billion yuan and the output value of Gemma to reach 35 billion yuan, forming a scale of 100 billion lithium battery industry.

Hard core manufacturing is getting "new" day by day

Interactive electronic whiteboards, ATM displays, subway strip displays, e-sports curved displays... When you enter Tianji Zhigu (Hubei) Information Technology Co., Ltd., you will come to the world of "screens connected to everything". As the first electronic information industry terminal product manufacturer introduced by Huangshi City, Tianji Zhigu has successively developed multimedia Chinese Studies Lecture Hall, smart bus stop signs, portable intelligent display terminals and other products.

This year, Huangshi started running and took off at the beginning. During the Spring Festival, 176 enterprises above regulations in the city were closed; from January to February, the city's industrial electricity consumption increased by 12.22%, and 90 industrial growth points were initially identified this year, with a new output value of 45 billion to 50 billion yuan.

Wu Zhiling, deputy secretary of the Huangshi Municipal Party Committee and mayor, said that Huangshi City will accelerate the construction of regional industrial service platforms, continue to promote the technological transformation and revitalization of traditional industries such as steel and nonferrous metals, cultivate and expand emerging industries such as electronic information and biomedicine, and proactively deploy hydrogen energy and other future industries.

On January 6, the first mass production vehicle of the Dongfeng Nano01 model was rolled off the production line in Xiangyang High-tech Zone, and the entire new energy passenger vehicle vehicle in Xiangyang City achieved a "zero" breakthrough.

Automobile is Xiangyang's largest industry. Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. and Xiangyang City have joined hands to build intelligent manufacturing and green factory projects, making significant progress in electrification, networking, and intelligent upgrades. After more than a year of construction, new intelligent manufacturing assembly lines, new casting factories, and intelligent manufacturing centers have been completed one after another. At the same time, six new models will be put into operation in the new factory one after another, forming a product matrix that can be "oil and electricity, light and VAN, and gas and hydrogen".

"This year, we will make breakthroughs in developing the new energy vehicle industry." Duan Xizhu, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Economic and Information Technology Bureau of Xiangyang City, said that this year Xiangyang will support Dongfeng Nano and other new energy vehicle projects to reach full production, and strive to exceed 150,000 new energy vehicle production throughout the year.

Green ecology is a "new"

Promoting green, low-carbon and sustainable industrial development through technological innovation, institutional change and management innovation is the core value of new productivity.

In May 2023, the National Standards Committee approved Xianning City, Hubei Province, as the third comprehensive national park city standardization pilot project in the country. To this end, Xianning built the entire area of 9861 square kilometers as a large park. Yang Jun, deputy secretary of the Xianning Municipal Party Committee and mayor, said that around the city's positioning, Xianning will focus on developing five major advantageous industries: general health, electronic information, equipment manufacturing, food and beverage, and clean energy. Through standardized empowerment, planning and control, a poetically inhabited city is carefully placed between mountains and rivers.

In the process of developing new productive forces, if we retain green waters and green mountains, we will lock in invaluable assets.

"Enshi has always protected the ecological environment like protecting its eyes, and has persisted in managing mountains and rivers, protecting green areas and reducing pollution. The water environment quality and air quality have ranked among the top in the province, and the forest coverage rate has reached 67%." Xia Xifan, deputy secretary of the Enshi Prefecture Party Committee and governor, said that as an important national ecological functional area, Enshi will give full play to its characteristic resource advantages such as "soil selenium tea cool green" and focus on the two articles of "selenium industry" and "local specialties".

This year, Enshi Prefecture will continue to promote the greening, branding and marketization of specialty agricultural products, build another 300,000 acres of standardized demonstration bases, cultivate 30 agricultural product processing enterprises above designated size, and strive to exceed 11 billion yuan in the output value of the agricultural product processing industry above designated size.
