Summary: | The promotion of smart manufacturing is a crucial move that will enable Chengdu to build a major
growth pole for high-quality national development and shape a new growth powerhouse. In recent
years, Chengdu’s capability has made marked progress in smart manufacturing, significantly
enhancing the capability for independent innovation, gradually optimizing development factor
allocations, relentlessly strengthening pilot and demonstration effects, and constantly emerging
collaborative service platforms. The development of Chengdu’s smart manufacturing can be
summarized in four points: taking a holistic approach to top-down design, raising policy incentives
for innovative talents, creating a favorable environment for industrial innovation, and building service
platforms to promote innovation. In the new era, Chengdu should continue to explore the best possible
path to smart manufacturing and target high-quality development of local manufacturing industries by
making the following efforts: a) optimizing top-down design for better policy guidance; b) focusing on
technological innovation to improve corresponding innovation capability; c) forging service platforms
to break barriers to development; d) strengthening lateral communications to promote collaborative
transformation; and e) building leading enterprises and brands native to Chengdu.
