Zhejiang has been at the forefront of the country in the development of digital economy. The work report of the Zhejiang Provincial Government proposes to implement the “No. 1 Project” of the digital economy2.Version 0, accelerate the construction of the national digital economy innovation and development pilot zone. I believe that its main line should be high-quality development.
The high-quality form of the digital economy is to take data as an important means of production, algorithms and computing power (speed, accuracy and power consumption) as important productivity, and data ecosystems as important production relationships. Zhejiang implements the “No. 1 Project” of digital economy2.Version 0, focusing on improving core competitiveness, for this I suggest:
First, focus on the development of industrial digitalization. In terms of the proportion of digital industrialization to GDP, China is basically the same as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, while the proportion of industrial digitalization is less than three-fifths of these three countries. Zhejiang is a major manufacturing province in China, with abundant talents, and under the coordinated promotion of industrial demand, technological progress and public policies, Zhejiang’s industrial digitalization should have a lot of room for development in the future.
The second is to accelerate the construction of high-quality sensor industry chain. Medium and high-end sensors are the basic support point for the high-quality development of the digital economy. Sensors are the standard for converting physical signals into digital signals, and can be said to be everywhere, from robots, self-driving cars, medical electronics to intelligent manufacturing, all need physical, chemical, and biomass sensors. The sensor industry chain can be modernized from design software (EDA), sensor chips, sensitive materials, mechanical devices, important equipment and other links.
Third, in view of the fact that the digital economy is an open, shared and technology-based economy, it is recommended that Zhejiang should be coordinated by the provincial authorities to build a “common data platform”, “common technology platform” and “key technology open research and development platform” to promote the balanced development of the province’s digital economy.
The fourth is to accelerate the development of high technology in the field of digital economy. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the focus of technological competition is ABCDEQS, that is, AI (artificial intelligence), Blockchain (blockchain), Chip (chip), Computation (computing technology), Digital (digital technology), E stands for network technology, Quantum (quantum science), Software (software), it is recommended to plan the layout, strengthen research and development, and promote in an orderly manner.
The fifth is to build a digital economy ecosystem, and pragmatically promote the interconnection, coordinated development and win-win cooperation of industry and research (research and development), production (achievement transformation), industry and finance (finance), industry and education (universities), and industry and service (digital economy service system).
Sixth, attach great importance to basic science and basic research, which is the focus of strengthening the national strategic scientific and technological strength in the field of digital economy. It is recommended to create a more open, pragmatic and innovative innovation environment, move from past follow-up and reverse engineering to independent innovation, original innovation and integration innovation, and accelerate key technological breakthroughs in core areas such as integrated circuits, operating systems, key materials, and major equipment.
