According to "Shanghai Release," today, Shanghai Municipal Party Secretary Chen Jining spent the entire day conducting research and presiding over a forum in the Lingang New Area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone. Chen Jining emphasized that the Lingang New Area should always prioritize advanced manufacturing, striving to enhance its capabilities and core competitiveness. It is essential to seize opportunities presented by digitalization and greening while focusing on cultivating the industrial ecosystem alongside the successful implementation of projects. Attention should be paid to nurturing leading enterprises and high-growth companies, optimizing the layout of industrial platforms, improving service capabilities, enhancing the resilience and stickiness of industrial development, and promoting the accumulation and momentum of leading industries such as integrated circuits, civil aviation, smart automobiles, and high-end equipment. Utilizing the rich advantages of manufacturing scenarios, efforts should be made to promote the digital transformation of the industry, increasing the application of industrial robots, specialized models, and intelligent agents in key areas like production, manufacturing, and equipment operations, thereby driving a systematic transformation throughout the entire process, including industrial design, pilot testing, inspection and testing, and marketing operations. Furthermore, it is important to optimize the business environment, provide quality services to enterprises, and accelerate the nurturing of world-class companies. Deepening the reform of the management system for development zones, the focus should be on key aspects such as functional positioning, spatial integration, professional services, and assessment and evaluation, with the aim of refining and improving the reform plan.
