State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council: Further focus on key areas such as artificial intelligence and new materials, and cultivate frontier tracks such as quantum technology in advance.

Cheng Fubo, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, stated in a signed article published in *New Industrialization* that strategic emerging industries should be actively cultivated and expanded. Emerging industries and future industries are key forces leading the construction of a modern industrial system. At present, the layout of emerging industries and future industries by central enterprises still needs to be improved and accelerated, and some industries have yet to develop competitive advantages. Greater efforts must be made to build emerging pillar industries. Following the approach of "leading a group, catching up in a group, and cultivating a group," we should coordinate and advance differentiated layouts, continue to consolidate advantages in industries such as new energy and aerospace, further focus on key areas such as artificial intelligence and new materials, and cultivate frontier tracks such as quantum technology, nuclear fusion energy, and biomanufacturing in advance, so as to promote the development of emerging industries and "accumulate strength and gain momentum."
