The General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued guidance to deepen integration of scientific and industrial innovation, directing stronger basic-theory and foundational-technology R&D, systematic identification of disruptive technologies, and faster scientific and technological breakthroughs. It mandates an industrial-innovation programme to simultaneously advance innovation infrastructure, tech R&D and product iteration, accelerate new energy, new materials and aerospace development, and promote locally tailored, complementary strategic-emerging-industry clusters to create new pillar sectors. The guidance also calls for orderly development of the low-altitude economy and urges accelerated commercialization and industrialization of frontier fields — quantum technology, biomanufacturing, hydrogen and fusion energy, brain‑machine interfaces, embodied intelligence and 6G — by exploring multiple technical routes, prototype application scenarios and viable business models.
