Accelerating the Development of New Quality Productive Forces by Taking Deep Digital-Real Integration as the Grip

"Digital-real integration" (the integration of the digital economy and the real economy) takes digital technology innovation and diffusion as its basic fulcrum, takes the use of data elements as its intrinsic form, and achieves a leap in productive forces in the application scenarios of real industries. It is a typical form of the development of new quality productive forces. When presiding over the eleventh collective study session of the Political Bureau of the 20th Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping made "vigorously developing the digital economy and promoting the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy" an important part of accelerating the development of new quality productive forces. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party further proposed "perfecting the system for promoting the integration of the real economy and the digital economy", providing an important guarantee for promoting the development of new quality productive forces. To accelerate the cultivation and development of new quality productive forces, we must take deep digital-real integration as an important grip and continuously promote revolutionary breakthroughs in technology, innovative allocation of production factors, and deep transformation and upgrading of industries.

“数实融合”（数字经济与实体经济融合）以数字技术创新与扩散为基本支点，以数据要素的使用为内在形态，在实体产业的应用场景中实现生产力跃迁，是新质生产力发展的典型形态。习近平总书记在主持二十届中央政治局第十一次集体学习时，将“大力发展数字经济，促进数字经济和实体经济深度融合”作为推动新质生产力加快发展的重要内容。党的二十届三中全会进一步提出“健全促进实体经济和数字经济深度融合制度”，为推动新质生产力发展提供了重要保障。加快培育和发展新质生产力，必须以数实深度融合为重要抓手，持续推进技术革命性突破、生产要素创新性配置和产业深度转型升级。

Stimulate the driving force for the development of new quality productive forces through deep technological integration

以技术深度融合，激发新质生产力发展动力

The innovative breakthroughs in "new technologies" oriented toward expanding application provide innovation and creativity for the development of new quality productive forces. The process of digital-real integration will push traditional manufacturing toward intelligent and flexible development, enabling R&D results to be transformed rapidly and accurately into actual productive forces. Enterprises can use technologies such as artificial intelligence to achieve comprehensive collection, storage, and analysis of R&D data, assist researchers in quickly locating innovation points, and carry out predictive and simulated design of new materials and new products, greatly shortening product development cycles and optimizing R&D pathways. Through continuous improvement and iterative optimization of product R&D and production processes, a closed-loop innovation system of "R&D – production – feedback – re-R&D" is formed, promoting the development of new quality productive forces.

以应用拓展为方向的“新技术”革新突破，为新质生产力的发展提供创新力和创造力。数实融合过程会推动传统制造业向智能化、柔性化方向发展，使得研发成果快速、精准地转化为实际生产力。企业可借助人工智能等技术实现研发数据的全面采集、存储与分析，辅助科研人员快速定位创新点，进行新材料、新产品的预测和模拟设计，大幅缩短产品开发周期，优化研发路径。通过对产品研发、生产流程的持续改进和迭代优化，形成“研发—生产—反馈—再研发”的闭环创新体系，推动新质生产力的发展。

As the core driving force of digital-real integration, technological integration, by deepening the innovation capability and application level of digital technology, promotes the transformation and innovation of productive forces. To this end, first, we must improve the ability to tackle core digital technologies and the level of innovation. For key core technologies that are crucial to national development, we must grasp the principal contradiction, give full play to the advantages of the new nationwide system for mobilizing resources to efficiently allocate scientific and technological forces and innovation resources, and form a strong synergy for tackling key core technologies. For potential key technologies with first-mover advantages and cutting-edge technologies that will lead future industries, we must adhere to persistent and long-term efforts, attach great importance to basic research and original innovation, and strengthen strategic planning and forward-looking layout. Second, we must accelerate the transformation of technological innovation achievements into actual productive forces. Innovation must be implemented in creating new growth points and turning innovation achievements into industrial activities. We must strengthen the principal role of enterprises in innovation, while encouraging enterprises to jointly build laboratories and pilot bases with universities and research institutes, achieving the "three-step leap" of scientific and technological achievements from scientific research to experimental development and then to promotion and application, thereby creating more new driving forces and new advantages for the development of new quality productive forces.

作为数实融合的核心动力，技术融合通过深化数字技术创新能力与应用层次，推动了生产力的变革和创新。为此，一要提高核心数字技术的攻坚能力和创新水平。对于关乎国家发展的关键核心技术，要抓主要矛盾，发挥新型举国体制优势高效配置科技力量和创新资源，形成关键核心技术攻关的强大合力；对于具有先发优势的潜在关键技术和引领未来产业的前沿技术，要坚持久久为功，高度重视基础研究和原始创新，加强战略谋划和前瞻布局。二要加快技术创新成果向现实生产力转化。创新必须落实到创造新的增长点上，把创新成果变成产业活动。要强化企业创新主体作用，同时鼓励企业与高校科研院所共建实验室和中试基地，实现科技成果从科学研究到实验开发，再到推广应用的“三级跳”，为发展新质生产力塑造更多发展新动能新优势。

Consolidate the foundation for the development of new quality productive forces through deep factor integration

以要素深度融合，夯实新质生产力发展基础

The aggregation and reorganization of "new factors" represented by data elements optimize the factor allocation model for the development of new quality productive forces. In the process of digital-real integration, digital technology permeates and empowers all things, endowing labor materials with digital attributes and promoting innovative allocation of factors with data at the core. In this process, the continuous injection of technological innovation and digital impetus brings about the infinite recombination and continuous aggregation of multiple technologies, functions, and factors. With its strong permeability and pan-temporal-spatial nature, digitalized labor materials promote the rapid flow of resources and efficient matching of factors in multiple links of production and reproduction, laying a solid foundation for the development of new quality productive forces through innovative allocation of resource factors.

以数据要素为代表的“新要素”聚合重组，为新质生产力的发展优化要素配置模式。数实融合过程中，数字技术渗透、赋能于万物之中，赋予了劳动资料数字化的属性，推动了以数据为核心的要素创新性配置。在这一过程中，科技创新和数字动力的不断注入促成了多技术、多功能、多要素无限重组与持续聚合，数字化劳动资料以其强劲的渗透性和泛时空性，推动生产、再生产多个环节的资源快捷流动和要素高效匹配，以资源要素创新性配置为新质生产力的发展奠定坚实基础。

The deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy at the level of production factors constitutes an important foundation for digital-real integration. To this end, we must accelerate the accumulation of data elements and the optimal allocation of production factors. First, improve the trading rules and market construction for data elements. Clarify the boundaries of data ownership and the principles of income distribution, and improve the scope of market-based allocation of data elements and the channels for participating in distribution according to value contribution. In addition, break down barriers to the flow of data elements, establish unified and standardized data management systems and trading technical standards, accelerate the sharing, collaboration, opening, and development of public data foundations, and break "data silos." Second, promote the intelligent upgrading of traditional production factors. With the help of digital technology, carry out intelligent transformation and upgrading of traditional production factors such as labor, capital, and land, and improve their use efficiency and output benefits. Third, promote the optimization and innovation of the combination of production factors. Promote cross-border integration of production factors in different industries and fields, form new factor combination modes, and at the same time, take the market-oriented allocation reform of production factors as an opportunity to promote the free flow and efficient allocation of production factors, ultimately achieving a comprehensive optimization of the allocation of factors for new quality productive forces.

数字经济与实体经济在生产要素层面的深度融合，构成了数实融合的重要基础，为此要加速数据要素积累和生产要素优化配置。一是完善数据要素交易规则和市场建设。明确数据权属边界及收益分配原则，完善数据要素市场化配置范围和按价值贡献参与分配渠道。此外，破除数据要素流动壁垒，建立统一规范的数据管理制度和交易技术标准，加快公共数据基础共享协同、开放开发，打破“数据孤岛”。二是促进传统生产要素的智能化升级。借助数字技术，对传统生产要素如劳动力、资本、土地等进行智能化改造和升级，提高其使用效率和产出效益。三是推动生产要素组合优化与创新。促进不同行业、不同领域生产要素的跨界融合，形成新的生产要素组合方式，同时以生产要素市场化配置改革为契机，推动生产要素的自由流动和高效配置，最终实现新质生产力要素配置的全面优化。

Innovate the development forms of new quality productive forces through deep industrial integration

以产业深度融合，创新新质生产力发展业态

Driven by digital transformation, accelerate the release of the "new driving force" for the development of traditional industries, and build "qualitative" advantages for the development of new quality productive forces. Digital-real integration tightly combines digital technology with traditional industries, superimposes hardware intelligent transformation and software integrated application, and comprehensively improves the intelligent level of enterprises in design, production, service, and other aspects through organizational renewal, process reengineering, and digital introduction. At the same time, relying on the "networked" system to achieve efficient connection between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain and between manufacturing enterprises and digital service enterprises, it promotes the digital transformation and upgrading of the entire chain of traditional industries. The process of digital-real integration realizes the transformation of the real economy toward high-tech and high value-added directions, continuously expands the space and potential for the development of the real economy, and promotes the continuous emergence and development of new quality productive forces.

以数字化转型为驱动，加速释放传统产业发展的“新动能”，为新质生产力发展构筑“质”的优势。数实融合将数字技术与传统产业紧密结合，硬件智能化转型和软件集成化应用叠加，通过组织更新、流程再造和数字化导入，全面提升企业在设计、生产和服务等方面的智能化水平。同时，依托“网联”系统实现产业链上下游企业、制造业企业与数字服务企业的高效连接，推动传统产业实现全链条数字化转型升级。数实融合过程实现了实体经济向高技术、高附加值方向的转型，不断拓展实体经济发展空间和潜力，推动新质生产力不断涌现与持续发展。

As an extension and expansion of digital-real integration, industrial integration can promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, advance industrial synergy, form a modern industrial system, and facilitate the development of new industries and new business formats related to new quality productive forces. To this end, first, promote the integration of the digital industry with traditional industries. Adhere to multiple measures simultaneously, including the integrated development of three industries and the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. On the one hand, we must give full play to the digital-leading role of advanced industries; on the other hand, we must use advanced applicable technologies to carry out all-round, whole-chain transformation of traditional industries, give full play to the amplifying, superimposing, and multiplying effects of digital technology on the real economy, and continuously strengthen the fundamental and supporting role of traditional industries for the development of advanced industries. Second, accelerate the cross-border integration of existing business formats with digital business formats. Accelerate the mutual penetration and integration of resources, technologies, and services among multiple industries and business formats, explore new links, chains, and models of production and consumption that emerge in the process of cross-border integration, promote the development of new industries and new business formats of new quality productive forces, and better meet and create new demands. Third, promote the coordinated development of industries and build a modern industrial system. Taking the digital economy as the core, strengthen cross-industry cooperation and synergy between the digital economy and the real economy, build a global modern industrial system, and achieve resource sharing, complementary advantages, and collaborative innovation.

作为数实融合的延伸和拓展，通过产业融合可以促进产业结构优化和升级，推进产业协同，形成现代化产业体系，助力新质生产力相关新产业新业态发展。为此，一要推动数字产业与传统产业的融合。坚持三次产业融合发展与传统产业转型升级多措并举，一方面要充分发挥先进产业数字引领作用，另一方面要利用先进适用技术对传统产业进行全方位、全链条的改造，发挥数字技术对实体经济的放大、叠加、倍增作用，不断强化传统产业对先进产业发展的基础性、支撑性作用。二要加快现有业态与数字业态的跨界融合。加快多行业、多业态间资源、技术、服务的相互渗透和融合，探索跨界融合过程中出现的生产消费新环节、新链条、新模式，促进新质生产力新产业新业态发展，更好地满足和创造新需求。三要促进产业协同发展，构建现代化产业体系。以数字经济为核心，加强数字经济与实体经济之间的跨产业合作与协同，构建全域现代化产业体系，实现资源共享、优势互补和协同创新。

以制度深度融合，优化新质生产力发展生态

Digital-real integration has given birth to new industries, new business formats, and new models, providing important industrial support and economic carriers for the development of new quality productive forces. Its process has profoundly changed the mode of economic production, promoted the transformation of production organization and social division of labor toward networking and flattening, provided conditions and space for innovation in industries and enterprises, nurtured many cross-border integrated new business formats and new models, formed new tracks for the development of new quality productive forces through industrial digitalization, and effectively driven other fields and industries. In addition, the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy has also given birth to innovative enterprises, not only improving their production efficiency but also enhancing their market competitiveness through the widespread application of digital technology, providing industrial support and economic carriers for the development of new quality productive forces. These new fields, new business formats, new models, and new development entities call for accelerating the formation of relations of production that are more compatible with new quality productive forces.

数实融合催生了新产业、新业态、新模式，为新质生产力的发展提供了重要的产业支撑与经济载体，其过程深刻改变了经济生产模式，推动生产组织和社会分工方式向网络化、扁平化转型，为产业和企业的创新提供了条件和空间，孕育了许多跨界融合的新业态和新模式，以产业数字化形成新质生产力发展新赛道，并有效牵引其他领域和行业发展。此外，数字经济与实体经济的深度融合也催生了创新型企业，不仅提高其生产效率，还通过数字技术的广泛应用增强其市场竞争力，为新质生产力的发展提供产业支撑与经济载体。这些新领域、新业态、新模式，以及新的发展主体，呼唤着加快形成同新质生产力更相适应的生产关系。

Institutional integration is an important institutional mechanism guarantee for digital-real integration. Establishing and perfecting the institutional system for digital-real integration can provide a stable institutional environment and policy support for the formation of new quality productive forces. First, the government should take the lead in formulating a standardization roadmap for digital transformation. Coordinate the deployment of the construction of an integrated government affairs system, strengthen the planning and investment in the digitalization of traditional infrastructure and digital infrastructure, promote the deep penetration of digital technology into all major links of product manufacturing by improving the processing and storage of basic data from the real economy, and give full play to the boosting role of digital technology for start-up enterprises. Second, with the market as the leader, promote the coordinated force of the digital supply side and the demand side. On the one hand, continue to implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, promoting the sustained growth of the government's public digital consumption demand, the demand for circulation of data assets under industrial clusters, and the digital consumption demand of end consumers; on the other hand, take the construction of the industrial digital finance system as an opportunity to bring new economic benefits to enterprises through asset digitalization and data assetization. At the same time, focus on fields such as agriculture, manufacturing, and logistics, create new economic platforms for the Industrial Internet, and form a new industrial model of "digital production services + digital business models + digital financial services." Third, take enterprises as the main body to integrate business processes and management processes. Build a main business process with digital communication and transmission as the bridge, use data warehouses to form a loop, connect all business sub-processes, realize the integrated grand synergy of the production system, and build a unified and efficient digital-real integrated ecosystem for developing new quality productive forces.

制度融合是数实融合的重要体制机制保障，建立健全数实融合的制度体系，能够为新质生产力的形成提供稳定的制度环境和政策支持。一是由政府牵头制定数字化转型标准化路线。统筹部署一体化政务系统建设，加强对传统基础设施数字化和数字基础设施的规划与投资，通过完善实体经济基础数据的处理与存储，推动数字技术深度渗透到产品制造各主要环节，发挥数字技术对初创企业的助推作用。二是以市场为主导推动数字供给端与需求端协同发力。一方面要继续实行扩大内需战略，推动政府公共数字消费需求、产业集群下数据资产流通需求、终端消费者数字消费需求持续增长；另一方面要以产业数字金融体系建设为契机，通过资产数据化和数据资产化为企业带来新的经济效益。同时重点聚焦农业、制造、物流等领域，打造产业互联网的新经济平台，形成“数字生产服务+数字商业模式+数字金融服务”的产业新模式。三是以企业为主体贯通业务流程和管理流程。构建以数字沟通、传输为桥梁的业务主流程，利用数据仓库形成环流，对接所有业务子流程，实现生产系统的一体化大协同，为发展新质生产力构筑统一高效的数实融合生态系统。
