The specific objectives are: strive for an average annual growth rate of more than 3%, reaching 8.1 trillion yuan by 2024; The scale of key industries is rising steadily, new growth points are constantly emerging, the competitiveness of enterprises is further enhanced, and the supply capacity is significantly improved; The construction of industrial clusters has been continuously promoted, and a number of competitive small and medium-sized enterprise characteristic clusters and about 10 industrial clusters with international competitiveness have been cultivated.

III. Main Work Measures and Safeguard Measures

The "Work Plan" proposes to adhere to the "two main lines", do a good job in "four overall plans" and strengthen the "four motivations", and put forward 16 key tasks in four aspects and four safeguard measures from the supply and demand sides.

(1) About the "two main lines". On the demand side, focusing on improving effective demand, we will focus on expanding investment, promoting consumption, stabilizing exports, promoting intelligent transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry, and fully stimulating the demand potential of machinery and equipment. On the supply side, with the overall improvement of supply capacity as the main line, we will strengthen separate policies, make every effort to improve the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain supply chain, lead and create effective demand with high-quality supply, and promote a virtuous circle of supply and demand at a higher level.

(2) About "Four Overall Plans" and "Four Motives". First, make overall plans to expand investment, promote consumption, stabilize exports, enhance effective demand, and make the machinery industry grow steadily. The second is to make overall plans for tackling key problems, model innovation and popularization and application of intelligent manufacturing, accelerate the intelligent transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry, fully release the investment demand for new or updated equipment, and do a solid support for the steady growth of the hard machinery industry. The third is to make overall plans for the construction of industrial ecological system, improve the resilience of industrial chain supply chain, innovate the supply of high-quality equipment, and be the driving force for the steady growth of fine machinery industry. The fourth is to make overall plans to make up for shortcomings, forge long boards, strengthen foundations, cultivate emerging industries and new growth points, and make precise policies to stimulate the stable growth vitality of eight key sub-sectors such as industrial machinery.

(3) About 16 important tasks in four aspects

In terms of continuously expanding effective demand, aiming at the fact that the machinery industry provides technical equipment for other industries, and more than 70% of the demand comes from infrastructure construction and investment in new or upgraded equipment in other industries, which is the main battlefield for stabilizing exports, four key tasks are put forward, namely, digging deep into the domestic market potential, focusing on expanding effective investment, actively exploring the international market, and building a high-level supply-demand docking platform.

In promoting the intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry, four key tasks are put forward, such as accelerating the promotion of new intelligent manufacturing models, promoting the research of intelligent manufacturing system solutions, promoting the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, and exploring the construction of intelligent manufacturing pioneer areas.

In terms of improving high-quality supply capacity, five key tasks are put forward, such as stabilizing and smoothing the supply chain of key industrial chains, accelerating the digital development of equipment, strengthening the construction of quality brands, improving the gradient cultivation system of high-quality enterprises, and promoting the coordinated development of key regions.

In terms of precise policy of separation, three key tasks are put forward, namely, supplementing and upgrading the chain to promote the quality and efficiency of basic equipment, strengthening the chain to consolidate the development momentum of advantageous industries, and building and extending the chain to continuously cultivate and expand emerging industries, so as to promote the steady growth of eight key sub-sectors such as industrial machinery, instruments and meters, agricultural machinery and equipment, basic parts and basic manufacturing processes, construction machinery, rail transit equipment, medical equipment and robots.

(4) About four aspects of safeguard measures. First, increase policy support. Support equipment manufacturing enterprises to carry out key core technology research and intelligent green transformation. Give full play to the role of national industrial integration as a platform, guide financial institutions to increase credit support, and comprehensively use various financial instruments to improve the quality and efficiency of financial services. The second is to strengthen the standard supply. Strengthen the revision of standards, improve the standard system of industrial machine tools and medical equipment, and accelerate the development of key technologies and industrial application standards for intelligent manufacturing. Promote the internationalization of machinery industry standards. The third is to strengthen monitoring and dispatching. Use the information platform such as "digital information" to strengthen the monitoring of the economic operation of the equipment industry, carry out in-depth investigation and study, and coordinate and solve the difficulties and problems faced by the development of industrial enterprises in a timely manner. The fourth is to strengthen organization and implementation. Strengthen departmental coordination, promote the establishment of central-local linkage and consultation and exchange mechanisms, and coordinate and solve major problems. Encourage local governments to base themselves on reality and introduce targeted policies for steady growth in the region. Give play to the service and supporting role of industry organizations, build an industry exchange and display platform, and strengthen the docking of supply and demand.
