CCTV News: New technologies such as artificial intelligence, robots, and AR glasses have broken through the circle, allowing China's manufacturing on the production line to improve the quality and upgrade. Behind this is inseparable from the seamless connection between the new chain and the industrial chain.

Suzhou has specially created a "show" for new technologies such as artificial intelligence. Through precise supply and demand connection, the pace of technological innovation can run faster.

When the reporter came to Suzhou Artificial Intelligence + Manufacturing Innovation Application Center, many people came to visit and learn. The exhibition hall, surrounded by crowds, brings together the latest application scenarios of artificial intelligence in R&D, design, production, warehousing and logistics.

The tour group of dozens of people has not left yet, and another tour group has appeared at the door again. On this visitor registration form, the reporter saw that many people came from afar from Urumqi, Ordos and other places.

The agency head told reporters that at present, the demand for transformation in manufacturing is moving from the previous digital transformation to a higher-level "AI+" transformation, and the new demands that are coming have also ushered in a major upgrade here.

After the upgrade and transformation, this is not only a stage for displaying new technologies in artificial intelligence + manufacturing, but also a platform for matching the supply and demand sides. They have sorted out this list of artificial intelligence service providers in Suzhou, and there are 81 technical service providers in the field of "AI+Manufacturing" alone.

The supply and demand sides have found each other, so how will the supplier respond to the ever-changing market demand? According to the list of service providers, the reporter found one of the technical service providers that specializes in building "smart brains" for smart factories. At present, they have served nearly 1,000 manufacturing customers across 34 industries.

During the investigation, the reporter found that such vibrant companies are becoming local innovation entities. At present, the R&D organization rate of industrial enterprises above designated size in Suzhou has exceeded 80%. The 235 municipal innovation consortiums established relying on leading enterprises and scientific research institutes are also providing a continuous stream of innovation momentum, accelerating the same frequency resonance between the industrial chain, policy ecology and technological innovation.

The incubator opens to the gate of the university to sow the seeds of new quality productivity

Suzhou proposed to simultaneously promote scientific and technological investment and industrial investment, and also set the goal of attracting 10,000 science and technology innovation projects every year, and sow seeds for the future of new quality productivity with patience and determination.

When the reporter came to Suzhou Science and Technology Investment Center, a video conference spanning more than 1,000 kilometers was being held, and two were entrepreneurial teams from Tsinghua University on the other end.

In this distribution map of Suzhou Innovation Center, the reporter saw that the tentacles of Suzhou's technology investment promotion not only extend to the doorstep of Tsinghua University, but also widely distributed in domestic cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Wuhan, as well as overseas regions such as Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, with a total of more than 50.

It is not enough to take the initiative, and technology investment must be accurate enough. In another office, the reporter saw a constantly updated investment promotion map, covering various key industrial chains in Suzhou, from optical communications, artificial intelligence, Internet of Vehicles to electronic information, a picture is a chain.

According to statistics, 95% of Suzhou's listed companies, 72% of gazelle and unicorn companies come from technology investment projects. At present, Suzhou has launched financial products such as "Science and Innovation Index Loan", focusing on key R&D links, first-time purchase and use of products, constantly innovating insurance types, and taking a multi-pronged approach to helping companies solve financing and R&D problems.
