Measures will be taken to speed up the development of next-generation power batteries, advanced motors, and related projects. Finally, support will be provided for the development of roadside infrastructure for vehicle-road collaboration based on the Enhanced Ultra High Throughput (EUHT) scheme. Application scenarios for intelligent connected vehicles will be established, and key technologies and product applications will be promoted.
In medicine and healthcare area, collaborative innovation action plans will be implemented with the development support for Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization platforms for medical devices, antibody-drug conjugate pilot-scale testing platforms, and other relevant projects and tasks. Major support will follow the introduction of a group of innovative drugs and medical devices and the establishment of reliable production capacity in the city. The industrialization of key drugs in short supply within the city will also be supported.
In intelligent manufacturing area, the innovative development action plan for the robotics industry will be implemented, which includes the establishment of a humanoid robot innovation center, breakthroughs in key technologies and products, and the application of the 100 scenarios and 100 products. Support will also be provided for the establishment of pilot-scale testing and verification centers for industrial mother machines, with a focus on enhancing service capabilities, supporting the first trial and use of new products before they reach full maturity, and constructing industrial mother machine demonstration application production lines.
In commercial aerospace and satellite application area, the principles of relevant state-issued documents aimed at fostering the growth of the commercial aerospace industry will be implemented. Relevant support will be given to improve the production and carrying capacity of satellites and rockets, and spacecraft launches will be promoted through insurance subsidies.
In new materials area, the general plan of the national leading group for the development of the new materials industry and guidelines for new materials industry development will be comprehensively implemented, with specific support for the first round of utilization and demonstration of new materials. In addition, the expansion of application demonstration of new technologies and products and the key production capacity construction plans will be supported in hydrogen energy and energy storage.
(III) Boosting digital economy growth and empowering the establishment of emerging business forms
Enterprises will be supported in their use of computing power resources and in speeding up the training, application, and promotion of general and vertical AI models and the adaptive application of domestic chips in intelligent computing centers will be bolstered. Enterprises will be supported in the initial registration, transaction, entry, and opening of their data assets to expedite the opening of data elements and the realization of asset value. Support will be extended to the execution and application of industry-level first schemes and the promotion of first standards in vital sectors such as finance and energy. Finally, support will also be offered for the settlement and development of open-source organizations in Beijing.
(IV) Facilitating the high-end, intelligent, and green development of industries, and improving the quality upgrading of enterprises
Industrial internet platforms, leading enterprises in key sectors, large central and state-owned enterprises, and industrial park operation and management enterprises will be engaged to push local manufacturers to achieve their comprehensive intelligent and digital transformation. Support will be offered for the cultivation and development of a group of benchmark factories, including national intelligent manufacturing benchmarks, intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories, and global lighthouse factories.
Support will be given to industry and software information service sector in their green and low-carbon growth and to enterprises in their pursuit of full-scale green development diagnoses. Special support will be provided to upgrade the environmental protection performance of key industries and enterprises in air pollution emergency response. Enterprises will be encouraged to execute green, low-carbon transformations such as energy conservation, water conservation, pollution reduction, carbon emission reduction, and clean production and cultivate green factories. Finally, support will be provided for the application demonstration of new green transformation technologies and products such as hydrogen energy, energy storage, and carbon capture and storage utilization.
(V) Guaranteeing key enterprises and projects and promoting the stable growth of investment operations
Enterprises will be cultivated in a systematic way with support for small enterprises in key areas to reach the designated size and enterprises above the designated size to grow stronger and help them expand beyond their current scale and achieve stability.
