The Municipal Ninth Party Congress has charted a clear course for the industrial sector, calling for a profound implementation of the manufacturing multiplication initiative. This strategy focuses on the developmental pathway of "leading enterprises to industrial clusters to a thriving ecosystem", while simultaneously elevating the levels of intelligence, green practices, and integration within the sector.

Manufacturing forms the bedrock of the real economy and serves as the core pillar underpinning Puyang's high-quality development. In accordance with the directives from the party congress, we must seamlessly integrate into the new development paradigm and the construction of a unified national market. This involves fully adhering to the "two highs and four focuses" requirements, concentrating on the "1+2+4+N" target system, and reinforcing the strategies of building the city's strength on industry and manufacturing. By deepening the manufacturing multiplication initiative, we can accelerate innovation-driven growth, improve efficiency, and foster green transformation, spurring the entire sector toward greater quality and upward momentum.

Advancing enterprise capabilities towards greater strength. We will deepen the tiered development of key enterprises, steering high-quality companies to focus on their core businesses, enhance technological iterations, and strengthen business model innovation and brand building. Support for leading enterprises will be intensified to help them consolidate their market position and enable those with revenues exceeding one billion to achieve significant scale leaps. Precisely targeted supportive policies will be implemented to cultivate a cohort of specialized, refined, and innovative "little giant" firms and single-champion enterprises. This will guide small and medium-sized enterprises to sharpen their focus on niche markets and position themselves on the frontier, moving them up the industrial chain value ladder and forging a symbiotic ecosystem where large, medium, and small companies flourish together.

Fostering industrial clustering and collaboration. Our primary focus will be on strengthening the dominant industrial clusters, with concentrated efforts in fields like new chemical materials and high-performance composites. By continuously optimizing the industrial landscape and advancing the reinforcement of supply chains, we aim to build a substantial, multi-billion-dollar green chemical and new materials hub. Parallel efforts will be made to establish a supporting system for key components in the equipment manufacturing sector and to develop deep-processing capabilities across the agricultural product value chain. The goal is to nurture two distinct clusters, each in the 30-billion-yuan range, for high-end equipment manufacturing and advanced green food processing. We will also foster the growth of new energy and storage, bio-manufacturing, modern home furnishings, and the down and apparel sectors. This includes fostering strong linkages between new energy development and equipment manufacturing to create a competitive bio-manufacturing base, a renowned green home furnishing distribution center, and a key center for down production and sales. Furthermore, we will accelerate the industrial application of frontier technologies like hydrogen energy, artificial intelligence, and the low-altitude economy, perpetually cultivating fresh drivers for economic growth.

Transforming manufacturing through digital and intelligent innovation. A city-wide "artificial intelligence plus" initiative will be launched to accelerate the construction of smart workshops and intelligent factories, broadening the application scenarios of AI within the manufacturing sector. A dedicated drive for digital transformation will be undertaken, leveraging platforms such as "5G + Industrial Internet" and the intelligent oil & gas equipment cloud to upgrade the entire industrial chain. By pushing the "data elements ×" initiative, we will build a provincial pilot zone for comprehensive data pilots, expand the data labeling industry, and dedicate efforts to creating a digitalized and intelligent Puyang.

Enhancing services for superior quality support. The productive service sector will be steered toward professionalization and higher up the value chain, promoting a mutually reinforcing integration between manufacturing and services. The development of national-level testing centers for cotton, down, textiles, and provincial-level furniture product quality inspection will be expedited. High-end services, including intellectual property and innovation consulting, will be vigorously developed. Advanced manufacturing enterprises will be supported to branch out into professional services like R&D design and operations management, leveraging their technical strengths. We will work to strengthen local, home-grown service brands such as "Pu" branded labor and "Longdu Finance", while bolstering modern logistics, business services, and convention services. These steps are crucial to provide robust support for the stability, smooth flow, and innovative upgrade of the manufacturing industry's supply chain.

Elevating industrial parks for higher-level development. Reforms to the management mechanisms of development zones will be deepened to greatly improve the efficiency and convenience of investment, production, trade, and logistics. We aim to build a modern industrial park ecosystem characterized by enterprise clustering, industrial agglomeration, intensive factors, and technological integration, with a strong emphasis on enhancing per-mu land output. We will promote the synchronized development of the new chemical industry base with various chemical parks across the city to achieve unified allocation and synergistic growth of chemical resources. The target is to have all development zones reach the level of one-star or above, supporting industrial parks and the Fanxian Development Zone to upgrade their standing. The focus is on creating leading, specialized, and growing industrial clusters that serve as the main battlefield for the city's manufacturing-led high-quality development.

A robust manufacturing sector drives industrial strength, which in turn fuels the city's prosperity. We must unify our thoughts and actions with the resolutions of the Ninth Party Congress, firmly adhering to the strategies of building the city's strength on industry and manufacturing. With a spirit of dedication, determination to overcome challenges, and an unwavering drive forward, we will ensure the effective implementation of all tasks, creating a vibrant scene of high-quality manufacturing development across the entire city.
