Manufacturing is the most important and fundamental component to the real economy. Although the proportion of GDP has fallen from the high level of 30% to about 27%, China's manufacturing industry still keeps clear comparative advantages in the global trading system. In 2020, the State Council released the Opinion and Guidance on Creating a New Pattern for the Great Development of West Region in China in a New Era, indicating that comparative advantages in the western region should be unleashed to support the growth of industrial clusters when conditions permit. Larger steps have to be taken to cultivate new drivers, transforming and upgrading conventional driving forces. With IT being widely applied to and integrated into conventional industries, a competitive and modernized industrial system will be constructed.

 

It is worth mentioning that two organizers of CDIIF are also organizers for the world’s largest industrial exhibitions, HANNOVER MESSE and CIIF. Thanks to their industrial resources and advantages, the first CDIIF will be delighted by many leading manufacturers who plan to make their debut for the western market in China. This fully demonstrates the enormous attraction of the industry in China’s western region. Thus, a high quality platform of zero-distance contact between industry and enterprises in the western region with the world-class industrial technologies has been created for the post-pandemic era, which will definitely turbocharge another round of great development in the western region, boosting the cultivation of new drivers and the transformation & upgrading of conventional driving forces in the west of China. Besides, the network-based, intelligent and digital transformation of manufacturing will be accelerated to construct a competitive modern industrial system.
