The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and seven other ministries
issued the 15th Five-Year Plan to enhance industrial base capabilities,
directing a stepped-up innovation layout for frontier technologies. The plan
targets quantum science, biomanufacturing, hydrogen and fusion energy,
brain‑computer interfaces, embodied intelligence, 6G and deep
space/deep‑sea/deep‑earth/polar technologies. Adopting a “scenario‑driven,
foundation‑first” approach, it will pre‑emptively deploy key foundational
product innovation tasks to boost supply of original and disruptive foundational
technologies. The plan encourages industry players to partner with national
laboratories, key state research institutes and top research universities,
pursue multiple technical routes, accelerate typical application scenarios and
fast‑track proof‑of‑concept, commercial validation and engineering
industrialization to promote efficient commercialization of frontier‑tech
results.
