The industrial chain is the backbone that supports the economic cycle, and the “chain length system” of strengthening, supplementing and extending the industrial chain has become increasingly prominent. Anhui is the first in the country to establish an industrial chain length system with provincial leaders serving as “chain leaders”, and a special work class is established around an industrial chain. The ten emerging industries are led by the provincial “four sets of teams” leaders to lead one industry, and provincial leaders to lead one industry. Become the top priority of “chain length” and coordinate the work of solid chain, strong chain, extension chain and supplementary chain.
From “Science and Education Province” to “Science and Technology Innovation Source”
In recent years, Anhui has given full play to the scientific and technological innovation sourcing capabilities of large scientific installations and universities, research institutes, and leading enterprises, accelerated the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, cultivated future industrial innovation entities, and actively seized opportunities for future industrial development.
In 2021, Anhui’s regional innovation capability will rise from the 15th place in the country ten years ago to the 8th place, ranking first in the country for ten consecutive years. Anhui Province has continuously built a major scientific and technological research system for strengthening the chain, supplementing the chain and extending the chain, breaking through a number of key core technologies of “stuck neck”. In 2021, the number of invention patents per 10,000 people in the province will reach 19.9, ranking seventh in the country, an increase of 14.4 times compared with 2012.
In August this year, the country’s largest quantum secure communication metropolitan area network was completed and opened in Hefei, Anhui, which will promote the joint construction of the Yangtze River Delta quantum communication intercity trunk network. In the same month, the national major scientific and technological infrastructure “Stable Strong Magnetic Field Experimental Device” achieved a major breakthrough in Anhui, setting a new world record of field strength “equivalent to more than 900,000 times the Earth’s magnetic field”.

Under the empowerment of scientific and technological innovation, Anhui has transformed from “traditional manufacturing” to “advanced manufacturing”, with the world‘s thinnest 0.12mm electronic touch glass, the first quantum communication satellite, the first quantum secure communication “Beijing-Shanghai trunk line”, and the first optical quantum computer. … The achievements of these manufacturing industries are inseparable from the development of science and technology. According to statistics, in the past ten years, the added value of Anhui’s high-tech manufacturing industry has increased by 14.7% annually, and the proportion of added value has increased from 34.8% in 2012 to 45.7% in 2021.
