Group 1 - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has issued a notice to accelerate the systematic layout and high-level construction of pilot test platforms in the manufacturing sector [1] - The notice emphasizes the need to fill gaps in pilot test platforms, focusing on demand-oriented strategies, industry-specific policies, and localized approaches [1] - Key industries highlighted for development include artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, quantum technology, clean low-carbon hydrogen, biomedicine, industrial mother machines, instruments and meters, major technical equipment, new materials, and information technology [1] Group 2 - Local industrial and information authorities are encouraged to select fields for pilot test platform development based on their unique advantages [1] - The MIIT will prioritize support for pilot test platforms that are included in key cultivation management under the same conditions [1]

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China has issued a notice to accelerate the systematic layout and high-level construction of manufacturing pilot platforms, emphasizing the importance of these platforms in connecting innovation, technology, and industry chains to support technological and industrial innovation by 2027 [1][3]. Group 1: Overall Requirements - The initiative is guided by Xi Jinping's thoughts and aims to implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, focusing on new industrialization and adhering to principles such as scientific layout and standard guidance [3]. - By the end of 2027, the goal is to strengthen high-level pilot platforms and establish a modern pilot platform system with a nationwide service network involving multiple participants and fields [3][4]. Group 2: Main Tasks - The strategy includes strengthening, activating, and supplementing pilot platforms, with a focus on public service attributes and systematic development paths [4]. - A tiered approach will be taken to enhance pilot platforms based on strategic positioning, technical advantages, and future potential, progressing from reserve platforms to key cultivation platforms and ultimately to national-level platforms [4][5]. - There will be targeted support for underperforming pilot platforms to enhance their capabilities and competitiveness through various initiatives, including strategic restructuring and resource optimization [5]. - New pilot platforms will be established in key sectors such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and clean energy, with a focus on areas critical to future development and industrial safety [5][6]. Group 3: Work Arrangements - Local industrial and information departments are required to mobilize eligible pilot platforms to submit applications by November 28, with a deadline for uploading the summary of reserve platforms by December 15 [7]. - Regular updates on the status of reserve platforms and their activation will be required every June and December [7]. Group 4: Work Requirements - Emphasis is placed on establishing a stable investment mechanism and efficient support systems to enhance the effectiveness of pilot platforms and improve regional and industry capabilities [8]. - The development of pilot platforms should align with existing technological innovation bases and avoid redundant construction and competition [8].
