Abstract

An important aspect of developing new quality productivity is utilizing the latest scientific and technological advancements for industrial upgrading, which includes developing emerging industries (high-tech industries) and transforming traditional industries. The weakness in advanced equipment manufacturing is a key challenge in China’s current industrial upgrading. This study, based on the global distribution of manufacturing enterprises, proposes a classification of four types of enterprises. It explains the reasons behind China’s lack of the fourth type of enterprise (those capable of integrating the latest technological achievements into their produced equipment) and the difficulties in cultivating and developing such enterprises. The study also categorizes technical teams related to advanced equipment into three types (equipment users, equipment manufacturers, and fundamental technology researchers), emphasizing that successful research and production of advanced equipment require the long-term, stable, and close cooperation of these three teams. Finally, it introduces several practical outcomes from the Ji Hua Laboratory (Guangdong Provincial Laboratory of Advanced Manufacturing Science and Technology) in Foshan, Guangdong Province, which was established in 2018.
