The strategy of building a strong industrial city drives the vigorous development of the advanced manufacturing industry in Jinan.

The shining “Manufacturing of Jinan” displays Jinan’s persistence in the development of advanced manufacturing and its confidence in deepening the growth drivers transformation and taking the advantages of its high-quality development.

In the afternoon of Aug 31, at the High-end Equipment Strong Chain Forum of the Conference, Sun Bin, member of the Standing Committee of CPC Jinan Municipal Committee and Vice Mayor of Jinan, introduced that Jinan was guided by the strategy of building a strong industrial city and making every effort to promote the manufacturing development in a high-end, intelligent, green and low-carbon way. In 2021, Jinan’s manufacturing industry counted for more than 90% of the industry, and the advanced manufacturing industry counted for more than 60% of the manufacturing industry. The development of the advanced manufacturing and the digital economy have both entered the forefront of the first-tier cities in China. Among them, the scale of the intelligent manufacturing and the high-end equipment industry has reached 450 billion RMB, and the scale of big data and new-generation information technology industry has reached 500 billion RMB.

The production and sales volume of Inspur servers rank the 1^st in China and 2^nd in the world. Known as “the world’s largest ring”, IRAETA’s super-large integral ring-rolled steel ring has successfully become widely known, representing the highest technical level of nuclear power forgings. We now have cultivated 3,300 specialized enterprises, 85 national-level specialized little giant companies, and 892 gazelle companies.

The participants fully affirmed the strong resilience and vitality of the advanced manufacturing industry in Shandong Province, especially Jinan.

Zhou Ji, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the National Manufacturing Strategy Advisory Committee, took Inspur Group as an example. He pointed out that in the process of making China a world manufacturing powerhouse, a large number of demonstration, benchmarking and lighthouse factories had emerged in China for the construction of digital and networked factories. These enterprises have become world-class and set demonstrations and examples for China’s manufacturing industry regarding digital and networked transformation and upgrade, for example, Inspur Group is a demonstration factory for digital and networked manufacturing in the field of information equipment.

Ma Yaqing, chairperson of CCID Consulting Co., Ltd., said that Jinan, as an important industrial base in Shandong Province, had always been at the forefront of China in the development of advanced manufacturing. In recent years, guided by the strategy of building a strong industrial city and the digital economy, it has continued to expand institutional innovation. With all those efforts, the scale efficiency, innovation capability, market vitality and development quality of advanced manufacturing have been continuously improved.

The development of Shandong province and the changes of Jinan are obvious to all. Now Jinan is promoting the expansion of cooperation with Japan to a deeper level. We hope to give full play to the advantages of Japan and China to achieve more cooperation and breakthroughs in the field of advanced manufacturing, according to Hideo Kawabuchi, counselor of Embassy of Japan in China.

Advanced manufacturing is a promising prospect to strengthen Jinan’s economy and become a digital pioneer city.

Yu Haitian, Vice Party Secretary of CPC Jinan Municipal Committee and Mayor of Jinan, released the 2022 World Advanced Manufacturing Conference Jinan Declaration.
